India’s IT sector is growing rapidly, but many graduates are still not prepared for the demands of the industry. Outdated curriculums and lack of practical training leave them unprepared for real-world challenges.
On the other hand, the need for more skilled tech talent continues. A report by Statista Research (2023) shows that more than 54% of global organisations have consistently faced skills shortages in the tech sector over the past six years.
We Are on a Mission
To Make India the Talent Capital of the World.
Despite India being a global leader in IT outsourcing, and IT services exports expected to reach $400 billion by 2030, its talent pool faces two significant challenges to fully support this growth of the existing IT industry.
-
Skills Shortage
-
Under-Served TalentIndia’s youth, particularly in rural areas and Tier II & III cities, represents a huge pool of untapped potential. According to Times of India (2023), nearly 90% of India’s 600 million youth reside in these locations. They face significant challenges:
Low self-awareness and lack of a conducive environment.
Poor knowledge of industry-required skills.
No access to quality education or professional trainers.
Limited financial resources and lack of a support network.
The students in India primarily fall into three main categories:
PROACTIVE
Typically found in top-tier colleges, these students are aware of their needs and have access to resources for career development.
PRIVILEGED
They have the financial backing and resources to pursue their ambitions in top private universities and specialized programs.
UNDER-SERVED
Gifted but often overlooked, they lack the resources, right-track awareness, and environment necessary for their talent to thrive.
Many talented under-served individuals lack the opportunities and resources to develop their skills and pursue careers in technology. This creates a pressing need for better and more practical education in Tier II & III cities of India. This is where CodeQuotient School of Technology comes in.
Our journey so far...
We started our journey of bridging the talent gap with our SuperCoders Program, a 3-month initiative where we select, train, and deploy graduating students, from across India with our hiring partners.
Despite the success of the SuperCoders Program, we realized there was still a vast pool of underserved talent—students who couldn’t access mainstream engineering programs, especially from Tier II and III cities. This presented a significant opportunity. By providing these students with the right skills and training they need, we can bridge the gap between education and industry, unlocking a brighter future for individuals and India.
While successful, we recognised a larger opportunity to extend this program to the underserved students across India. That’s when we decided to establish CodeQuotient School of Technology (CQST), where we now combine software engineering education with a full-time BCA degree to offer a comprehensive learning experience.
How CQST is Solving the Talent Problem
We established CodeQuotient School of Technology (CQST) in 2022 for students who can’t afford traditional engineering degrees. Our approach combines hands-on learning with practical industry exposure through our UG Programs that come along with a regular Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) degree.
Our vision was clear – provide a stronger, industry-aligned curriculum from the ground up, seamlessly integrated into regular education. Our curriculum is focused on real-world applications, preparing students to work on live projects and gain valuable experience. We partner with over 150 companies to ensure students are trained according to industry standards and offer internships that provide up to 1.5 years of work experience during their program duration.
Why CQST Stands Out
Unlike traditional colleges, which focus primarily on theoretical knowledge, CodeQuotient School of Technology offers:
PRACTICAL, HANDS-ON EDUCATION
Delivered in regular classrooms, aligned with industry needs.
REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE
Students gain valuable experience before graduation, eliminating the need for extra upskilling.
PAID INTERNSHIPS
Our hiring partners offer paid internships to the students during the course itself, further helping them gain valuable professional work experience.
FEE SPONSORSHIP
Hiring partners running talent development programs at CQST offer fee sponsorship to this deserving talent, ensuring financial burdens don’t hold them back.
