The Bengaluru-based school offers Job oriented tech courses through their uniquely designed “Pay After Placement” facility whereby students can embark on their tech career by getting enrolled into any of the school’s e-courses without paying an upfront fee. Under this Income Sharing Agreement (ISA) model, students are required to pay their tuition fees only after they get a job at a threshold package as mutually agreed while getting enrolled for the course. Hence, students are asked to pay back their tuition fee only after successful completion of the course which relieves them from all finance-related anxieties. It does not take any upfront fee but asks for a sharing of 15% of their package after graduating from the school and landing a job that provides them with a threshold package of Rs. 5 LPA and above.
