How we measure success

A recognised certificate. A real internship on live projects. And genuine preparation for interviews across the sector.

Our fees are linked to what we actually deliver, so our incentives stay aligned with yours. Each milestone is tied to an outcome you can see — training completed, an internship secured, an interview reached. We don't promise jobs; we prepare you to earn them.

Eligibility

Who this program is for.

We keep cohorts small and selective so mentorship stays personal and placement outcomes stay high.

Final-year students

Open to 4th-year ECE & EEE students actively looking for placements in the upcoming cohort.

70% or 7.5 CGPA

A consistent 70% (or CGPA of 7.5) and above across 10th, 12th and up to the 5th semester.

Selection-based

30 seats only, filled through an online entrance test and interview. Merit decides the shortlist.

Is this program for you?

A 2-minute honest fit check.

Twelve quick questions to help you decide — not to sell you. We'd rather you join because it genuinely fits your goals than sign up and change your mind.
