The honest answer is: it depends on what you're missing, not how much time you have. A 45-day track is built to teach one technology deeply enough to build a working project — it's a sprint, not a career change. A 6-month track rebuilds the whole stack from fundamentals to deployment, with a live client-style project and an internship letter attached.
If you already have a related degree and just need one modern skill — say, a CS graduate picking up React — 45 days is usually plenty. You already understand programming logic; you're filling one gap. If you're switching fields entirely, or you're a fresher with no practical exposure, the compressed version leaves too many gaps that show up in interviews.
The tell is usually in the portfolio. Recruiters can spot a 45-day project a mile off — it's competent but thin. A 6-month track produces something closer to what a junior developer ships in their first real job, because that's structurally what the programme is designed to simulate.
Our counsellors map this against your actual background in the free consultation call, not a generic recommendation — it's the first thing we ask before suggesting a track.
