+ 50 moreWe started The Hacking School in 2013 when nobody in India believed a bootcamp could produce real engineers. Thirteen years and 7,000+ graduates later, working at Google, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, startups across three continents, we know it can.
code.in is the next chapter. Same belief: anybody can code. But the world changed. AI changed everything. So we rebuilt the curriculum from scratch. Two specialized tracks, production-grade projects, live instruction every single day. Not a course. Not a certificate. A year of your life spent actually becoming an engineer.
We're not for everyone. We're for the 30 people per track, anywhere in the world, who are hungry enough to show up every day for 52 weeks. That's it. Thirty.
7,000+ graduates across 13 years. Here's where some of them ended up.

We're not saying degrees are useless. We're saying there's a faster, cheaper path to the same jobs, and often better ones.
| Traditional B.Tech | code.in | |
|---|---|---|
| DURATION | 4 years | 52 weeks |
| COST | ₹8-20L (tuition + living) | A fraction of that |
| DSA PROBLEMS | 0-50 (self-study) | 450+ (guided, timed, in Java) |
| PROJECTS SHIPPED | 1-2 academic | 12+ production (live URLs, Docker, AWS) |
| SYSTEM DESIGN | Not taught | 8+ full designs (Twitter, Uber, Netflix...) |
| MOCK INTERVIEWS | Maybe campus placement prep | 10+ rounds. Coding, LLD, HLD, behavioral |
| TEACHING | Lectures, notes, exams | 660 live hours. Build daily. Ship weekly. |
| JOB OUTCOME | ~30% placement at Tier 2/3 | 98% employment across 7,000+ alumni |
| AI / ML | Elective, if offered | Baked into curriculum. Advanced tier = LLMs, RAG, agents |
| DEGREE? | Yes, B.Tech | No degree. But see below ↓ |
We've partnered with a recognized university for a 3-year online BCA that runs alongside code.in. You get real engineering skills from us + a UGC-recognized degree, for less than what most private colleges charge for the degree alone.
Ask our admissions team about the BCA pathway on your screening call.
We reject more applicants than we accept. No coding background needed, but we need to see hunger, aptitude, and the ability to commit.
Not a MOOC with 10,000 enrollments. Not a certificate mill. Thirty people per track, hand-picked through a 5-step screening process. Every week has a deliverable. You build or you're out.
Not a certificate. A portfolio, a skill set, and the ability to pass real engineering interviews.
Five steps. We're looking for hunger and thinking ability, not credentials or connections. Not everyone who applies gets in.
No. Core starts from absolute zero. We've taken people who've never seen a terminal and turned them into working engineers. What we look for is aptitude and commitment, not existing skills.
Core (Weeks 1-22) builds your foundation, enough to land your first engineering job. Pro (Weeks 23-52) gets you to product company level. Advanced DSA, system design, the whole interview stack. Advanced is an optional specialist tier for AI/ML engineers. You earn each tier by passing assessments.
Live instructor-led sessions. 660 hours over 52 weeks. You show up, build things, get feedback from real engineers. It's not a MOOC. It's not YouTube at 2x speed. Talk to admissions for format details.
Yes. We have a partnership with a recognized university for a 3-year online BCA. You get real skills from code.in + a UGC-recognized degree, for less than most private engineering colleges charge. Ask admissions for details on the screening call.
We'll walk you through the full fee structure and payment options on the screening call. The application itself is completely free, no commitment to apply.
We've had people from sales, banking, teaching, MBA grads, army veterans, across 13 years and 7,000+ graduates. If you can commit to 52 weeks of hard work, your age and background don't matter.
The program is intense by design. We select carefully upfront because we want people who finish. If life happens, we'll work with you, but we won't sugarcoat it: this requires real commitment.
We screen every applicant. The application itself takes 10 seconds and costs nothing.
