Fees — full transparency
What it costs, what comes back, and what isn't included. Most programmes make you request a callback before they will tell you the price. Here it is, in full, on a page you can read without giving us your phone number.
| Stage | Fee | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Trial Month | ₹5,000Founding Cohort: free | Both sides try each other for one month. Then we mutually decide whether to continue. The Trial Month is not an automatic seat — we select, and so do you. Free for all 20 Founding Cohort seats. |
| FDE Program 9–12 months, full-time |
₹1,00,000Founding Cohort: ₹50,000 | The full apprenticeship: real projects, mentor reviews, daily feedback, interview preparation and placement support. The Founding Cohort price exists because you're betting on us before we have placement statistics — we return the favour. |
| Sponsored Track optional add-on |
+ ₹1,00,000 | A guaranteed training stipend of ₹10,000/month for 12 months (₹1,20,000 in total) — income while you train, and a salary history on your profile. |
The Sponsored Track, as arithmetic
For a Founding Cohort student who takes both:
FDE Program (Founding Cohort)₹50,000
Sponsored Track add-on+ ₹1,00,000
Stipend received: ₹10,000 × 12 months− ₹1,20,000
Net cost across the year₹30,000
The Sponsored Track is optional. Its real value is not the ₹20,000 difference — it is having twelve months of monthly income while you train, and an earning history on your profile when you interview.
Included
- Your desk in the Koramangala workspace, 9-to-6
- All projects, briefs and mentor reviews
- Daily written feedback and continuous assessment
- API and tooling costs for programme projects

Payment schedule, refund terms and the fee agreement will be shared in writing before you commit to the programme — never after. [CONFIRM: instalment plan?]
Start with the free Trial Month.
No programme fee is due until the Trial Month is over and you've seen the place.
