Overview

Aboutthisprogramme

A 3 – 6 Months intermediate track taught at our Sector 75 campus in Mohali and live online, built around what employers in this field are hiring for right now.

The Penetration Testing & Bug Bounty course at techcadd Mohali trains ethical hackers and security researchers to identify, exploit, and remediate high-severity security vulnerabilities across web applications, APIs, and enterprise networks. Moving beyond automated vulnerability scanners, students perform manual penetration testing following PTES and OWASP methodologies. Learn reconnaissance, authentication bypass, SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, IDOR, network pivoting, privilege escalation, and write professional vulnerability disclosure reports for bug bounty programs (HackerOne, Bugcrowd).

Who can join

Isthiscourseforyou?

Penetration Testing & Bug Bounty is a intermediate track. These are the four kinds of people who typically sit in the session — if you recognise yourself in any of them, you are in the right place.

IT & networking students

B.Tech, BCA and diploma students who want a security or infrastructure profile before placement season.

System & network admins

Professionals already running infrastructure who want to defend, audit and automate it properly.

Aspiring security analysts

Anyone targeting SOC, VAPT or cloud-security roles. The labs start from Linux and networking fundamentals.

Developers going DevOps

Engineers who want CI/CD, containers and cloud deployment layered on top of what they already build.

Eligibility

What you need to start

  • 10+2 or above — any stream accepted
  • A laptop for practice (lab systems available on campus)
  • Basic computer familiarity
  • Willingness to practise between sessions

Not sure whether your background fits? A ten-minute counselling call maps your stream, marks and goal to the right session — no obligation.

Howwediffer

Most Penetration Testing & Bug Bounty courses in the region cover a similar syllabus. What separates them is who teaches it, what you build while you are there, and what happens after the last session.

Who teaches

Trainers who still work on client projects in the same stack.

Full-time faculty teaching from a fixed slide deck.

What you build

A live project with real requirements, deadlines and code review.

A demo project copied from the same manual every session uses.

Personal attention

1:1 sessions with open lab hours and daily doubt clearing.

Large halls where questions wait for the next session.

Course material

Curriculum revised against what local companies are hiring for.

Notes that have not changed in several years.

What you leave with

Certificate, project letter, internship letter and a portfolio.

A certificate, and nothing to show behind it.

After the course

Placement cell that keeps calling drives until you are hired.

A list of contacts handed over on the last day.

Compare us on the same points before you enrol anywhere — ask for the trainer’s current work, the last session’s project files and the placement record in writing.

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.
