Thanks for the hunt @gustaf :) Hi Product Hunt Community, I'm Swapnil Daga, co-founder & head of teaching infrastructure @ AlgoUniversity I'm joined by @thenextmkv (Manas Kumar Verma, Co-Founder & CEO of AlgoUniversity) and @sailesh_rekhani. We @ AlgoUniversity, house a young energetic team of ACM ICPC world finalists, Olympiad medalists (total 4 medals for India!), people with experience of managing operations in Edtech startups, and engineers from Google, Apple, etc. AlgoUniversity is a job-driven virtual tech university for engineering students and working professionals in India. Problem: There is a huge gap between the CS curriculum taught in universities of India and the skills required for working in top product companies/startups. This has created a shortage of quality candidates in the Indian job market. We make students job-ready by teaching them skills relevant to the industry, making them work on industry-level projects, and also help them land a job by preparing them for interviews. AlgoUniversity offers: - Live classes on Problem Solving & Computer Science Fundamentals - Mentoring students on industry relevant projects. - Carefully curated assignments to aid maximum grasping of concepts - Live Contest to simulate the coding round experience - Mock Interviews - 1:1 Resume Polishing Sessions - Company Referrals - Access to AlgoUniversity Premium Products : *Company Playbook*: It simulates an interactive interview environment for students to solve real interview problems *TheJobOverflow*: StackOverflow for recent interview questions. *LadderMap*: Incremental Learning Experience to reap maximum benefit a student gets from a single problem. And the above has worked! In our first batch, we had a record 100% placement (surpassing even the top Indian universities), with students bagging an average of 1.5x salary than top Indian universities (20L/annum). We produced some inspiring stories from our 1st cohort 🏆 Got students from a low-tier Indian university job offer from Google. This is the first time in the history of their university which has had thousands of CS majors per year! 3 of our students got job offers at Bytedance Singapore. No student from the last 5 years in the Indian home state of Chattisgarh got an international job offer!

?makers Congratulations on the launch! This is so promising to see you doing what the Universities are unable to do; to match the industry expectations. I had a look at the application form and the process. It seems like some background of CS is required, given that a programming quiz is part of the process. Wondering how many are college students? Also, can you tell us a bit about the program pricing?

@adityavsc Thanks! CS background isn't required, the only pre-requisite for current batches is to know the basics of any 1 programming language (like for loop, if-else, etc). One can join AlgoUniversity in 2 ways (1) Free for 1 first year, pay 10% of their salary once you land job (2) 800$ upfront fees for 1 year.

You’re solving an important problem. The skill-gap between universities & industry is preventing hundreds of thousands of engineering graduates from getting their first tech job. Inspiring to see the stories from your first batch. Congrats and all the best!

Thanks @aakash_n_s for the kind words. Love what jovian has been doing for the same problem for data science.
