Overview

Year 3 is the year placements actually get decided

On-campus placement drives target final-year students. But everyone in the industry knows: who gets the top offers in final-year was largely decided in 3rd-year. Specifically: by what internship you secured between 3rd-year summer and 4th-year semester 1.

A Microsoft / Razorpay / Goldman summer internship in 3rd-year almost always converts to a pre-placement offer (PPO). And even if it doesn't, that internship on your resume changes how every recruiter reads your profile for the next 2 years.

Our 3rd-year program is engineered around this single insight: maximize your shot at a tier-1 summer internship. Advanced DSA. System design fundamentals. 3 substantial capstone projects. Resume + LinkedIn + GitHub polish. Mock interview drills. Direct recruiter intros. The complete pipeline.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

I am behind — too late to start in 3rd year?

Not at all. 6 months of focused work in 3rd-year still gives you a strong shot at summer internships. Many of our success stories started exactly here.

Can I do this alongside college projects + exams?

Yes — schedule is tuned for college students. ~22 hrs/week. We pause cohort mid-semester for 2 weeks during finals.

Which companies do summer interns get placed in?

Recent cohort: Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Razorpay, Flipkart, Cred, Atlassian, Adobe, Postman, Cisco, JP Morgan, Walmart, Mercedes, Visa.

How is this different from your bootcamps?

Bootcamps are 12-week intensive on one topic. This is a 6-month integrated program: DSA + system design + projects + placement support in one funnel.

Will my CGPA be hurt?

Schedule respects college time. We pause during exams. Students typically maintain or slightly improve CGPA due to better study habits formed in the program.
