Priya M.
Associate Full-Stack Developer Senior QA
I wanted to be in charge of features from start to finish after years of working in manual and automated testing. It was feasible with sprint work because of the 10-month cadence and the 90-hour live sessions. Clean Java basics were promoted by mentors first, followed by REST and Spring Boot. I wired a simple Jenkins pipeline and used React + Spring Boot + MySQL to rebuild a small internal tool. Just clearer ownership and fewer regressions, nothing spectacular. HR screening was aided by the NASSCOM-validated curriculum; the talking was done by the capstone and repository.

I was on a monolith from JSP/Servlets. At last, the sequence—Core Java → Hibernate → Spring Boot → CI/CD—fit into a contemporary workflow. Code reviews compelled me to abandon “quick fixes” in favor of appropriate layers and tests, and the Oracle/MySQL and environment configuration labs were useful. I separated out a service, containerized it, and set up a basic build using Maven + Jenkins, but we didn’t completely revamp our platform in a single day. Handovers are more transparent and deployments are more tranquil.
Sana R.
BCA final-year student
Tutorial projects weren’t enough for me. I could create a CRUD application by the middle of the program using MongoDB for storage, Spring Boot APIs on the back, and React on the front. Git hygiene, meaningful commits, and a README that can be run by another person were important to the faculty. In addition to UI, my capstone demo concentrated on design decisions. Interviews now focus on trade-offs I made—validation, pagination, and auth—rather than just buzzwords, though I’m still learning.

The combination of 70 hours of self-paced work I could complete after shifts and brief, targeted live classes made the blended format important.” After learning the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JS, I moved a small project from JSP/Servlets to Spring Boot and added basic tests and a continuous integration step. I can describe the entire pipeline and have deployed a demo to a cloud free tier. I left with a portfolio that I can continue to grow, but no promises of a job were made.
