Real Production Code

Get embedded inside a real engineering team. Ship code that real users use.

Live Project Training puts you inside an actual production engineering team for 3–6 months. You write code reviewed by senior engineers, ship features to real users, attend real stand-ups, and walk away with a stunning real-world portfolio (and a letter of recommendation).

Overview

The closest thing to an internship — without an HR funnel

Most students reach 4th year with a resume of "library management system" + "to-do app" + a few Coursera certificates. Recruiters skim past it in 3 seconds. The students with real product experience get the calls. That has nothing to do with intelligence — it is opportunity.

Live Project Training is the opportunity. We embed you inside one of our internal product teams (Campus Hype, partner startups, or sponsored open-source projects) for 3 or 6 months. You attend their stand-ups. You take real Jira tickets. You ship features to real users. A senior engineer reviews every PR.

There is no fluff. No video lectures. No "learn React first then we will let you build". You start contributing in week 1 — at whatever level you are at — and grow from there. Top performers get full-time offers, stipends, or co-founder-style equity-in-time.

Who is this for

Is this program right for you?

Pre-final / final-year students

You've done courses, you've done bootcamps, now you need real product experience to round out your profile.

Career switchers

Non-CS background but coding now? Live Project Training is your way into "real engineer" status without the recruitment hurdle.

Self-taught developers

You learnt on YouTube + GitHub. Now you need the structure, review, and stamp of working with a real senior engineer.

Students from Tier-2 / Tier-3 colleges

Bypass the "no campus placements" trap. This program gives you the credentials top colleges get by default.

Curriculum

The 6-month embedded experience

3-month and 6-month tracks follow the same arc, just compressed/extended. You're not following a syllabus — you're inside a real product team. This is the typical journey.

M1 Phase 1 — Onboarding & first PR Weeks 1–2

Get production access, pair-program with your mentor, and ship your first PR (usually a small bug fix or minor feature).

  • Codebase walkthrough + architecture deep-dive
  • Local dev setup mirroring production
  • First "good-first-issue" ticket
  • First code review feedback loop
M2 Phase 2 — Owning features Weeks 3–8

You're now picking up your own tickets, attending design discussions, and owning small features end-to-end.

  • Independent ticket pickup from Jira / Linear
  • Feature design + RFC writing
  • Weekly 1:1s with mentor
  • Cross-team collaboration (PM, design, QA)
M3 Phase 3 — Major project ownership Weeks 9–20 (6-month track)

A significant feature or sub-system is yours. You own design, implementation, testing, deployment, and post-launch monitoring.

  • End-to-end feature delivery
  • On-call shadowing (for ops experience)
  • Post-mortem participation
  • Documentation + architecture docs you author
M4 Phase 4 — Wrap-up & portfolio polish Last 2 weeks

Document everything you shipped. Build a portfolio case-study. Get the LoR. Plan next steps.

  • Portfolio case-study writeup
  • GitHub contribution graph polish
  • LinkedIn experience entry crafting
  • Letter of Recommendation from your mentor
What's included

What makes Live Project Training different

Real product, real users

Not a toy app. Not "build Twitter". You ship to actual users who notice when your code breaks.

1:1 senior engineer mentor

A dedicated senior engineer pairs with YOU. Code reviews every PR. Weekly 1:1s. Same person the whole time.

Real engineering rituals

Stand-ups, sprint planning, retros, post-mortems, code reviews, design discussions — the actual stuff teams do.

Stipend for top performers

Top 20% of trainees receive ₹5K–₹25K/month stipends. Some get pre-placement offers (PPOs).

Verified LoR + GitHub history

A personalized Letter of Recommendation + your contribution graph + your shipped PRs are public proof you can ship.

Convertible to PPO

Many partner startups offer pre-placement offers to top-performing trainees at end of program.

Tools & tech

Tools you'll work with

GitHub / GitLab Jira / Linear Slack AWS / GCP Docker CI / CD Sentry / Datadog Notion / Confluence Figma

Outcomes

What you walk away with

Real production experience

On your resume — verifiable, with public GitHub PRs to back it up.

1 major subsystem you owned

Architecture decisions, deployment, monitoring — all yours to talk about in interviews.

Letter of Recommendation

Personalized, from your mentor, based on real work — not a template.

Portfolio case-study

A long-form writeup of what you built, decisions you made, mistakes you fixed — recruiter catnip.

Mentor network

A senior engineer who knows your work and will refer you for years to come.

Potential PPO / stipend

Top performers get pre-placement offers or paid extensions. Not guaranteed — earned.

Eligibility

  • Basic familiarity with at least one programming language (Python / Java / JS / C++)
  • Comfortable with Git + GitHub fundamentals
  • Available 25–35 hours per week consistently
  • Final-year, fresher, or pre-final year preferred (but exceptions made)
  • Honest answers in your motivation — we can tell, and we read everything

Fee & certification

  • No upfront fee for the 3-month track. You earn your seat by showing up + shipping.
  • 6-month track may include a refundable commitment fee (₹4,999 — refunded on completion).
  • Top 20% performers receive stipends (₹5K–₹25K/month).
  • Successful completion = LoR + Certificate + alumni network access.
  • Drop-off without notice = no LoR. We take this seriously to protect mentors' time.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a regular internship?

No HR funnel. No "we got 5000 applications". You apply, we assess, and we onboard you in weeks — not months. You get more mentorship attention. The work is identical (real production code).

Will I work on the Campus Hype product itself?

Some trainees do. Others work with our partner startups or sponsored open-source projects. The decision is based on your skill + interest fit.

How are top performers selected for PPO?

PR throughput, code quality, communication, ownership behavior, mentor recommendation. The pattern is visible by month 2 — it is not a surprise.

Can I do this alongside college?

Yes — we schedule sprints around college calendars. Final-year students often do this as their major project. 3rd-year students do it as a 3-month sprint.

What if I am not selected?

We give honest feedback. You can re-apply after 60 days. Many students get in on their 2nd try after closing a skill gap.
