Learn to code in Java — from zero to job-ready foundations.
A tight, hands-on 60-hour foundation in core Java and object-oriented programming. No prior coding needed — you write code in every session and finish with a real console application on GitHub.
Certified by E&ICT Academy, IIT Kanpur (MeitY, Govt. of India)
The course
Java Programming — Foundations is a tight, hands-on introduction to core Java and object-oriented programming for complete beginners. Over 30 two-hour sessions you learn the language and its essential APIs, apply real object-oriented design, and pick up the professional habits — Maven, JUnit testing and Git — that make you employable. You write code every session and ship one real application.
Who it's for: anyone — beginners, students, and professionals who need practical Java. No programming background is assumed.

What you’ll learn
open to complete beginners — no prior coding. Admissions are rolling.
You ship, live
A real console application — for example a library, inventory or booking management system — built with proper OOP and collections, persisting data to files, organised as a Maven project, tested with JUnit and documented. Live on public GitHub with a clean commit history and a clear README, with tests on the important logic. This one project is your proof at a junior interview — and being able to explain it is what's assessed.

Careers & support
None of this is a guarantee of a job, and we will not pretend otherwise. It is the work we put in alongside yours.
Your journey, tracked by AI — progress, attendance and portfolio in one place.
Practise against an interviewer that never gets tired, as often as you need.
Guidance from people who deploy this work, not only teach it.
Sessions from practitioners on what the work actually looks like.
Portfolio reviews, interview prep and introductions — we keep working with you.
Help finding the first real-world placement that turns a project into experience.
Certification
Certified by E&ICT Academy, IIT Kanpur (MeitY, Govt. of India). You earn a certificate at each level you complete.
Sample certificate. One is issued for each level you complete.
Learning centers
We teach in person in major cities across India, with 15+ more centers opening. Tell us where you are and we will tell you what is coming near you.
Before you enrol
Fees vary by course, level and centre, and are kept deliberately affordable for an IIT Kanpur co-certified qualification. Yes to both: no-cost and low-cost EMI options are available, and we can put you in touch with education-loan partners if you would rather finance the course that way. Book a free counselling call and we will share the exact fee for your course along with the EMI and loan options you qualify for.
No honest school can promise a job, and we will not either. What we do guarantee is the work behind placement: a job-first curriculum, deployed projects you defend before a live panel, plus interview prep, portfolio reviews and introductions from a placement team that keeps working with you until you land a role. Your outcome depends on your effort, but you will never chase it alone.
For most courses, no. Digital marketing, the data and analytics foundations and the AI excellence course assume no coding at all, and start from the beginning. Some courses do expect prior coding experience — the advanced and pro levels of the development and agentic tracks build on a working knowledge of programming rather than teaching it from scratch. If you are unsure where you sit, a counsellor will help you navigate it, and you can take a short readiness test so the answer is based on what you can actually do rather than a guess.
Yes. Courses carry a co-certification from the E&ICT Academy, IIT Kanpur, an initiative supported by MeitY, Government of India, alongside the Ikigai School of AI certificate. It is a verifiable credential you can add to your resume and LinkedIn, backed by projects that prove what you can actually build. Each level is certified on its own, so you hold a credential without having to finish all three.
In person, at our learning centres in Lucknow, Kanpur, Ludhiana, Warangal and Indore, with more centres opening. Courses are taught in a lab with an instructor in the room — that is the point of them. Centre availability changes with each intake, so ask your counsellor which centre is nearest you and what is starting there.
Many of our learners are working full-time. Sessions are scheduled around working hours and each level is separately enrollable, so you can take one level, apply it at work, and come back for the next. Tell your counsellor your working pattern and they will find the batch and centre that fits it.
Most courses are built from a textbook syllabus by people who have never shipped AI. Ours are designed and taught by practitioners who build and deploy production AI inside large public-sector and enterprise organisations, and who bring that work back into the classroom. Every course is built backwards from the job it leads to, so you finish with deployed projects and the exact skills those employers hire for, not just a certificate.
Still deciding? A counsellor will talk you through fees, batches and whether this is the right level to start at.
