The program costs Rs. 1,10,000 plus GST in total. The sole entry cost required of eligible students is Rs. 10,000 + GST, and they may be eligible for scholarships of up to 100% depending on their academic standing and the results of their in-person interactions.

BE/BTech students having a cumulative score of 50% or more during the first seven semesters, no backlogs, and a minimum of 50% aggregate in 10th and 12th Standard will be given scholarships on a first-come, first-served basis.

This curriculum, which is outcome-driven, combines professional, technical, and engineering experience to develop holistic capabilities. Students get practical experience with coding, object-oriented programming, databases, and full-stack development via more than 100 challenges, 10 projects, and drill-based practice with over 10,000 lines of code.

The curriculum begins with the basics and moves on to more complex subjects including creating end-to-end web apps using Java, React, RESTful APIs, and Spring Boot.
