FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Twelve answers. If one is missing, write to us and we will add it, with the same words we would use here.
The institution
Is SETHU a college or a university?
No. SETHU is a private skills-learning initiative run by SETHUPATHI TECHNOLOGIES LLP. It does not award degrees and is not a university or a college.
Who issues the certificate?
SETHUPATHI TECHNOLOGIES LLP issues every SETHU credential. The legal entity is printed on the certificate and on the verification page.
Is the certificate recognised by UGC or AICTE?
Not at present. A SETHU certificate is a record of skills assessed by this institution. If recognition is ever obtained for a specific programme, that programme page will say so in plain words.
The programme
What does the pilot cover?
Six months: programming foundations, web fundamentals, backend and databases, engineering practice, a team project, and a capstone demonstration. The full month-by-month plan is on the Software Engineering page.
How much time does it take each week?
The proposed workload is 10 to 15 hours a week, including live sessions, exercises and project work. The final number is published before admissions open.
Do I need a computer science background?
No prior programming is assumed. You need a computer, an internet connection and the time to finish the work.
Admissions
What is the admissions status right now?
Interest only. Applications are not open yet. Register interest and you will be told when the window opens, with the dates published here first.
How are learners selected?
A short application, then one practical task. The task is published in advance on the practice tasks page. There is no unexplained rejection and no interview that depends on who you know.
What does it cost?
The fee model, amount and refund terms are not yet published. They appear on the fees and scholarships page before applications open. Until then this page shows To be announced.
Can I apply if I am under 18?
The minimum age is not yet fixed. When it is, the application will include a guardian consent step and the safeguarding policy will be published.
Credentials
How is a credential verified?
Every credential carries a unique identifier. The verify page looks it up and shows the programme, dates and issuing entity. No credentials have been issued yet.
Does SETHU guarantee a job?
No. There is no placement guarantee and no salary promise. SETHU prepares you with a portfolio, a CV and interview practice, and refers learners only where a real partner and a real opening exist.
