Entry qualification: Class 12 pass
Costs almost nothing beyond a computer and a connection, and in this one field demonstrated work genuinely substitutes for a certificate.
The hard parts
Requires exceptional self-discipline over a year or more with no structure and no certificate. Most people who start this way do not finish. Needs a reliable computer and internet.
How to do it
Choose one free course, fix two hours a day in the timetable, and plan to publish a first small project within three months.
Can they join?
- You need regular access to a computer of your own, not a shared phone. Severity
- Class 12 is the usual starting point, though this route is unusual.
Requirements change. Confirm on the official website before applying.
