How you get there
6 groups over 16–18 weeks, and 3 of them are places you can join. You leave each one able to do the thing it names, not having sat through it.
01 · Java Developer8 weeksJoin here
Ask about Core Java · Start at the beginning, with no Java behind you.
Ask about Git & GitHub Actions · Two days, if you would rather see how we teach before committing.
Build clean Java applications, collaborate through Git the way a team does, and work confidently with relational databases.
02 · Backend API Developer4 weeksJoin here
Ask about Spring Boot REST API · Join at the backend if you already write Java and know your Spring basics.
Build a secure REST API with validation, persistence, transactions, authentication and a test suite you can trust: four one-week courses, three hours a day, and the testing lab to close.
03 · Distributed Systems Developer1 week
Design distributed services and build reliable synchronous and asynchronous communication between them.
04 · Frontend Developer3 weeksJoin here
Ask about React · Join at the frontend if you already own the backend.
Build a typed, tested frontend that works against your own secured backend APIs: one framework, chosen at the start and taken to production depth.
05 · Production Backend Engineer
APIs in the Real WorldRedis & CachingLinux Command Line EssentialsDocker & KubernetesLogging & MonitoringConnect the product to systems you don't control, payments included, then run, containerise, troubleshoot and observe it in realistic environments.
06 · Cloud-Ready Backend Engineer
Deploy, operate and tune the whole system under real production conditions.
What you finish with
A deployed full-stack product with authentication, payments, third-party integrations, CI/CD and production monitoring: the complete Project Basecamp build, running on a real URL you can send to an interviewer.
What the cohort includes
- Cohort-paced structure with milestones, not a self-paced video library
- Mentorship from a practitioner with 20+ years of hands-on industry experience
- Code review on your own work, every sprint
- Graded capstone with individual feedback
- Mock interviews and placement support
- Verified Deesha certification

About this pathway
Most institutes will sell you a Java full-stack "bundle": nine course names on an invoice and a certificate at the end. This is a guided program to a job, which is a different product.
You finish with a deployed application that has real authentication, real payments, real integrations, a CI/CD pipeline and production monitoring, because the gap employers complain about most is not syntax, it's that graduates have never operated software that other people use. That is the whole design of this pathway: it ends where most courses stop.
Why this one goes further
Almost every full-stack program in India ends at CRUD: a form that writes to a database. This one continues into API and integration engineering and DevOps and deployment, which is precisely the boundary between a candidate who needs six months of hand-holding and one who is useful in week three. Interviewers can tell the difference immediately, and they ask about it.
The Placement Accelerator
The three add-on courses (DSA, System Design, and Communication) are strongly recommended alongside the pathway rather than after it. Technical skill gets you the interview; those three convert it. Most students who don't get placed fail on DSA rounds or on explaining their own project clearly, not on their ability to build.
Who this is for
You need to be able to write basic code in some language and commit around three hours a day for about four months, with SkillLab weekends along the way. No Java experience required: DTA-06 starts from the language itself.
This is a serious time commitment and it's worth being honest about that: it's the largest pathway in the catalogue. If you have weeks rather than months, start with a single course or a two-day SkillLab instead. Every stop on this route can be taken on its own.
Cohorts and fees
Cohorts start periodically and seat count is capped so that every capstone gets individually reviewed. Fees, instalment options and the next start date are on this page, or message us on WhatsApp and we'll walk you through whether this pathway actually fits your situation.

Your portfolio when you finish
Design, build, secure, test, integrate, containerise, deploy, observe and troubleshoot a complete production web application.
- 01
A secured REST API with a real schema
Spring Boot service with validation, transactions, migrations and role-based access, backed by PostgreSQL.
- 02
A React interface against your own API
Typed components, forms, routing and authentication, talking to the backend you built, not a mock.
- 03
A containerised, monitored deployment
The whole product in Docker, shipped by a pipeline, with logs and metrics you can read when something breaks.
- 04
A capstone running on a live URL
One product, front to back, that you can send to an interviewer and talk through line by line.
