Careers & support
Supported from day one to hired.
None of this is a guarantee of a job, and we will not pretend otherwise. It is the work we put in alongside yours.
LEAP
Your journey, tracked by AI — progress, attendance and portfolio in one place.
AI interview preparation
Practise against an interviewer that never gets tired, as often as you need.
Industry mentors
Guidance from people who deploy this work, not only teach it.
Industry masterclasses
Sessions from practitioners on what the work actually looks like.
Placement support
Portfolio reviews, interview prep and introductions — we keep working with you.
Internship support
Help finding the first real-world placement that turns a project into experience.
Runs on LEAP
You are not a name on an attendance sheet.
Every Ikigai course runs on LEAP, the platform we built to run our own delivery. It is the reason a coordinator knows how you are doing before you have to tell anyone.
See how LEAP worksYour progress is visible
Attendance, topics covered and the projects you have shipped, in one place you can actually look at.
The pace is yours
Where you are ahead and where you are behind is tracked per topic, not per batch.
Someone notices early
A batch that slips shows up in the week it slips, so your coordinator reaches you before it becomes a gap.
Certification
Certified on completing Advanced.
Certified by E&ICT Academy, IIT Kanpur (MeitY, Govt. of India). You earn a certificate at each level you complete — you do not have to finish all three to hold a credential, and it is digitally verifiable and addable to your LinkedIn profile.
Sample certificate. One is issued for each level you complete.

Where you can take Advanced
Batch dates vary by center, and 15+ more centers are opening. Tell us where you are and we will confirm what is starting near you.
Fees & enrolment
One level, one fee.
You pay for Advanced only — not the whole ladder. Ask us for the current fee for Full Stack Web Development with AI Advanced, along with the EMI and scholarship options you qualify for.
Before you enrol
The questions people actually ask.
What are the fees, and is EMI or a loan available?
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.
Do you guarantee placement?
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.
Do I need a coding background?
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.
Is the certification recognised?
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.
Where are the classes held?
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.
What if I am a working professional?
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.
How is this different from other AI courses?
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.
