WHO IS THIS FOR

Who actually signs up?

Every batch looks different. Here's who we've seen walk in - and walk out as engineers.

12th pass

Skip the 4-year detour

46 weeks here builds more than most BTech programs. We've seen it - repeatedly.

Graduates

Degree, but no skills

Your college taught syntax. We teach architect, build, deploy, get hired. Different game.

Switchers

Commerce bg to tech developer

We've turned bankers, sales leads, and commerce grads into working devs. Background doesn't matter. Mindset does.

Upskill

Self-taught, stuck

You can code but can't clear interviews. DSA, system design, cloud - we close that gap.

Dropouts

No degree. Don't care.

We test drive, not transcripts. Some of our best engineers never finished college.

WHY NOT A DEGREE?

Traditional Engineering vs code.in

4 years and $10K-$18K for a degree that doesn't teach you to code. Or Up to 52 weeks that do.

LEARN BY BUILDING

Engineer Differently.
Build Practically.

Not tutorials. Not toy apps. Real production systems deployed on real infrastructure -the kind companies actually pay for.

The real challenge is getting AI deployed safely and effectively.

VS OTHER BOOTCAMPS

Not all bootcamps are created equal.

Most bootcamps sell you recorded videos and call it education. Here's how code.in is different.

📹
Pre-recorded videos
660+ live hours, cameras on
👥
500-1000+ per batch
30 per batch. Everyone is known.
3-6 month crash course
Up to 52 weeks. No shortcuts.
🏦
VC-funded, growth-obsessed
Not VC-funded. Quality over quantity.
🔧
Toy projects & tutorials
10+ production-grade projects
🎓
No degree option
BCA degree alongside bootcamp
📄
Certificate of completion
Portfolio + GitHub + interview prep
📅
"Self-paced" (read: dropout)
Daily structure. Daily accountability.

25% of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed by engineers.
