At Polaris, we swapped Physics and Chemistry for JavaScript on Day 1. As a beginner, the supportive mentors built my foundations right. Now a Full Stack Developer at Swyftin, I’m shipping real-world code daily. Seeing traditional interns struggle with basics proved the massive difference in how we’re taught.

Intrigued by Gen AI, I chose Polaris over traditional colleges to build real foundations. While friends studied Physics, I learned directly from tech founders and industry leaders. That edge helped me secure a ₹2.1L paid internship by my second semester- shipping real-world code while my friends in other colleges were still in classrooms

After two JEE failures, I felt lost coming from a non-tech background. Polaris changed that, teaching me to go beyond the surface. Now an intern at Mstack, I’ve earned ₹1.5L working with AI and Agents. Gifting my father a watch with my first stipend validated my path: you don't need an IIT to outpace the industry.

Starting at Polaris with a clean slate, I moved past theory to build real tools: a hospital management system and a fitness tracker. That hands-on grind earned me an international internship at Zuvees with a ₹2L stipend in my first year. I’ve realized that being 'industry-ready' isn't about where you start, but the complexity of what you build

Ranked 1,328 in JEE Advanced, I chose Polaris over IIT Bombay to pursue Computer Science from Day 1. It was a bold call, but it validated itself when I cracked Google Summer of Code in my first year with a ₹2.55L stipend. At Polaris, I’m not just earning a degree; I’m building a high-growth tech career
