Let’s Deep Dive
Many in the market charge for Hackathons, yet only offer a small portion as prize money to people they already know.
- A Hackathon helps you prove to companies that you are a true problem solver.
- Top companies look for recognized Hackathons, not random ones.
- We conduct Hackathons as a transparent filtering process for genuine talent.
Quick Advice : Stop paying for Hackathons. Many organizers collect money from thousands and return a small prize to market themselves. These are not recognized Hackathons.
Many organizations charge students for internships just to provide certificates. Students who only want to pay and relax should rethink their direction.
- An internship is meant to prove that you are capable and eligible for company opportunities.
- Those who missed MNC paid internships can use this opportunity to work under top experts.
- Eligibility : Pre-final year, final year students, and job seekers.
- We don’t charge for Hackathons or Internships. Those who want career elevation are advised to take our career counselling and training programs.
Quick Advice : Stop paying for internships. This is a major career risk. Top HRs now verify internship authenticity, and scam-typed internships ruin your chances of getting interview calls.
We follow MNC-standard, project-driven internships. No time-pass projects. Proper submission and attendance are mandatory for certification.
- Level-1 / Round-1 : Hackathon—filters top candidates for the interview process.
- Paid Internship : Candidates who score well in the Hackathon are shortlisted for interviews.
- Unpaid Internship : For those who want to skip both the Hackathon and the interview.
