01, The gap

Access without a cohort is just a login

The pathway gives you access. It does not give you the people or the practice.

Problem 01

No peer cohort

Nobody on your route at the other three universities. Now there is.

Problem 02

No applied practice

Git, cloud, AI tooling, shipped projects. Assumed everywhere, taught nowhere.

The result

You arrive unprepared, alone

Alone, at 1 AM, with forty tabs open. That is the default.

02, What we run

Six standing pillars

Run primarily online so members across four universities and every timetable can take part on equal footing.

Coding Foundations

Start from zero. Basics, Git, tooling, and your first live website.

Skill Tracks

AI/ML, cloud, full-stack, data. Multi-week cohorts, mixed across campuses.

Certification & pathway pipeline

Guided cohorts working through pathway-accessible courses and certifications together, plus liaison office hours on transition and course catalogues.

Build Nights

Weekly, drop-in, online. Bring what you are stuck on.

Industry & alumni

Seniors who have been through it, practitioner talks, and a build challenge across all four campuses.

Transition & portfolio

Portfolio reviews and interview practice before you need them.

04, What you get

Built for every stage of the pathway

Not only for people who already build things. Find the row that describes you.

Newly on the pathway

A way in that assumes nothing

Coding Foundations, and people to learn it with.

Mid-pathway

Fluency before you need it

Certifications and tracks that build the baseline before you need it.

Approaching transition

A portfolio that reads abroad

Shipped work, reviewed, and legible outside India.

No peer group at home

The cohort your campus doesn't have

Three other universities on the same route. That is the whole point.

Aspiring leaders

Real governance experience

Cross-institutional council roles, cohort ownership, sponsor relationships and a documented technical leadership record.

Everyone

Recognition that travels

Certificates for LinkedIn, and a real GitHub history.

05, Membership

Three tiers, each earned

08, Where this goes

Three-year plan*

Written down so it can be held to. Year one is the one being built right now.

Year 1 · 2026–27

Stand it up

  • Founding cohort recruited across partner universities
  • First Skill Track cohort launched
  • Certification pipeline live
  • Faculty Advisor onboarded, first Build Night held
Year 2 · 2027–28

Prove it

  • First TSC Build Summit, the flagship hackathon
  • First industry sponsor onboarded
  • Alumni mentor network formalised
  • Project portfolio programme launched; membership expands to more partner universities
Year 3 · 2028–29

Make it the standard

  • Recognised as the pathway's flagship technical skilling network
  • Build Summit run fully cross-institutionally
  • Measurable transition outcome tracking
  • Financial self-sufficiency through sponsorship

*Directional, not a promise, priorities may shift as the club grows.

09, Recognition

Credentials that travel

Portable recognition, on the two platforms people actually check.

Tier 1 · From day one

Digital certificates & badges

Signed certificates for Builders and Leads, formatted for LinkedIn.

Tier 2 · Operational

Identity, credits & letters

Digital ID, project credits, and letters of recommendation for Leads.

Tier 3 · Growth

Prizes, merch & sponsored seats

Prizes, merch and sponsored certification seats, once we have sponsors.

Always

A real GitHub history

Your project work, pushed as real repositories under your own name.

11, How we behave

Code of conduct

Short, and enforced.

  • All discourse in Skill Tracks, Build Nights and code review is respectful, critique the work, never the person.
  • Harassment, discrimination or exclusionary conduct of any kind is prohibited.
  • Submitted project work must be your own, with collaboration and external resources credited transparently.
  • The council engages with technology strictly for educational and career-development purposes. It does not endorse any political party, government or ideology, and does not organise protests or advocacy campaigns.
  • Concerns go in writing to the General Secretary, escalate to the Faculty Advisor, and are handled confidentially and without prejudice to whoever raised them.
12, Questions

Before you enrol

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Coding Foundations starts from zero, no experience assumed.

Who can join?

Any student with active pathway status at Anurag, Chitkara, Rajalakshmi or Shiv Nadar. Every branch, every year.

Is this a club at one college?

No. It is independent and spans all four universities equally.

Do I need to bring or install anything?

Nothing. It runs online and there is nothing to install.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Membership, Skill Tracks and Build Nights are free to students on the pathway.

How much time does it take?

Build Nights are weekly and drop-in. Tracks run a few weeks, one session each.

What happens to my data?

Stored securely, seen only by the team that needs them, never shared outside the council.
