Frequently asked questions
Is the Diploma in Programming from IIT Madras valid for government jobs?
This is a professional credential, not a degree. It is widely recognised by employers but does not by itself qualify as a degree for government recruitment.
Are classes live or recorded?
Both. Live sessions are usually scheduled on weekends and evenings; every session is recorded and available on the LMS within 24 hours.
Can I pay in instalments?
Fees are typically payable per semester. Many learners use the no-cost EMI option via partner NBFCs — ask a counsellor for the current terms.
