Selection sprint
Shortlisted candidates join a 3-week intensive. It's demanding on purpose — you earn your seat by finishing, not by paying.

A path, not a certificate
Our teams hire from our classrooms. Partner employers recruit from our results. The best founders build startups in our studio.
02 — Our promises
In a market full of training scams, here is exactly where we stand.
Free means free
No registration fee, no 'security deposit', no exam fee, no certificate fee. If anyone asks you for money in our name, it is a scam — report it to us.
Selective means respected
Seats are earned by merit through a public test. Free doesn't mean casual — it means the door isn't priced.
Verified means verifiable
We publish who graduated, who got hired, and what they earn — conservative numbers you can check, with graduates you can find.
03 — Outcomes
This section will hold our results. Right now, it holds our standard.
Cohort 1 hasn't graduated yet, so there are no outcome numbers to show — and we won't invent any. When graduates exist, this page will list, conservatively and verifiably: how many started, how many finished, how many were hired, and what they earn.
outcomes.publish( cohort_1 ) — pending first graduation
Every number published here will be checkable through our verification portal.
04 — Why here
Your classroom runs real businesses.
Other programs teach from tutorials. Our students apprentice on Ebilty, ElectroPOS, and the platforms in our portfolio — software with real users, real bugs, and real stakes. That difference is your portfolio.
05 — Straight answers
What students — and parents — ask first.
Why is it free? What's the catch?
There is no catch — there is a business model. We are a software company that needs excellent engineers, and training you is cheaper than losing you to the fees you can't pay. Paid corporate training and sponsors fund the free seats. You are the point, not the product.
کیا واقعی کوئی فیس نہیں؟
جی، بالکل نہیں۔ کسی بھی مرحلے پر کوئی فیس نہیں — نہ داخلے پر، نہ ٹیسٹ پر، نہ سرٹیفکیٹ پر۔ اگر کوئی ہمارے نام پر پیسے مانگے تو وہ فراڈ ہے — ہمیں فوراً اطلاع دیں۔
Do I need a computer science degree?
No. You need the entry test score and the will to finish the selection sprint. We've designed the path for talent, not for transcripts.
Can girls apply? What about parents' concerns?
Yes — and we want parents involved. Visit our campus in Charsadda before applying, meet the staff, see the classrooms. Details for parents, in Urdu, are on the parents page.
Will I get a job at the end?
We will never promise you a job — programs that promise placements usually inflate them. What we promise: real skills, a real portfolio on live products, our own hiring pipeline, and published outcome numbers so you can judge us by results, not marketing.
