Learn first. Pay only after you're placed.
The Skillians is democratising education with a unique Pay After Placement (PAP) Model. PAP allows you to study the course of your choice at very minimal upfront fee and allows you to get placed at the choice of your company with a minimum CTC guarantee.
From enrolment to your first salary — in 5 stages
Enrol
Pay only a small registration fee. Sign the PAP agreement with the CTC guarantee in writing.
Train (8–10 months)
Live evening classes, real-world projects, 1:1 mentorship from MAANG engineers. Zero further payment.
Placement Prep
Resume, LinkedIn, mock interviews, aptitude prep, and referrals to 927+ hiring partners.
Get Placed
Receive an offer at or above your guaranteed CTC. The course fee becomes payable — not before.

Zero financial risk
If we don't place you at your guaranteed CTC, the post-placement fee is waived.

Before you enrol
Read the agreement carefully
Course fee, CTC guarantee, EMI tenure, support period and pause terms are all in writing. Ask every question during counselling.
EMI starts after joining
Payments begin only after you join your new job. Lose your job? Payments pause. Process is transparent and student-friendly.
If not placed in support period
Post-placement fee is waived. You pay nothing beyond the initial registration fee.
Commitment matters
Attendance and assessment thresholds are part of the agreement. Treat the program like a full-time commitment.
