I joined the 6-month MERN track straight after B.Tech with almost no practical experience. The live project work is what changed things — I had real code to talk about in interviews instead of just a syllabus.
The trainers actually work in the field, so every session had context from real projects. The Power BI and SQL modules were exactly what my interview rounds tested.
The Generative AI course was current in a way online tutorials are not. Building a full RAG pipeline and deploying it gave me something genuinely impressive for my portfolio.
Running real ad budgets during the course was the difference. I walked into my first job already knowing how to read a campaign report and fix what was underperforming.
