Advanced Java and DSA Applied Program

This program is designed for fresh engineering graduates (B.E./B.Tech/BCA/MCA), final-year CS/IT students, career changers, and aspiring developers from non-CS backgrounds looking to build a strong foundation in software development.

The program is suitable for learners who want to develop practical skills in Core Java, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), and SQL through structured, hands-on learning.

The program comprises 160 hours of learning delivered over approximately 2.5 months, following a sprint-based learning model.

Each sprint is 4 hours, comprising 2 hours of live, mentor-led sessions and 2 hours of self-guided, hands-on practice.

Learners are also expected to dedicate additional time outside scheduled sessions to complete projects and assignments, depending on the program requirements.

No. The program starts from setting up a Java development environment in the first sprint and builds systematically from there. No prior programming experience is required - the course can be taken up by college students, freshers, career switchers, and working professionals. The program design is done in such a manner that even non-CS engineering graduates can enroll for this program.

The Advanced Java and DSA Applied Program is a single, focused 3-course, 40-sprint, 160-hour journey covering core Java programming, data structures and SQL, and production-grade software engineering practices (OOP, SOLID, design patterns). Every sprint runs on the SCVHS Pipeline - Specify, Construct, Validate, Harden, Ship - so learners produce working, production-grade code throughout, not isolated exercises. Completing the program earns the Java Certification credential.

Admission to the program is direct. Eligible learners can apply by completing the online application form, submitting the self-declaration, accepting the terms and conditions, and paying the program fee. Admission is confirmed upon successful payment.

Mastery Learning is an instructional approach that maps the overall program to specific job roles, individual courses to core competencies, and each learning sprint to one task at a time. Every task follows the same cycle - concept session, quiz, hands-on practice, submission, feedback, refinement - and each 4-hour sprint dedicates 70% of its time to hands-on practice or reviewing and refactoring work, so skills are reinforced rather than just covered once.

The program runs on the SCVHS Pipeline - Specify, Construct, Validate, Harden, Ship - a five-stage methodology used in every sprint from course 2. Learners write the requirements and specs first, use AI to accelerate code generation within that spec, then personally review, test, secure, and deploy everything the AI produces. Because the methodology is tool-agnostic, it works with GitHub Copilot or any future AI coding assistant, so the skill transfers even as tools change.

The program prepares learners for entry-level Java engineering roles such as Junior Java Developer, Java Application Developer - roles that value strong fundamentals in core Java, data structures, SQL, and clean, production-grade coding practices.

GitHub Copilot is the primary AI coding assistant used throughout the program via the SCVHS Pipeline, helping learners specify, generate, and review code against their own engineering judgment.

You need at least 8 GB RAM, an Intel i3 or AMD Ryzen 5 (8th gen or newer) processor, a 256 GB SSD with 50 GB free space, 10 Mbps+ internet, and a webcam with audio for live sessions. No GPU is required, and the setup runs on Windows 10, macOS 11, or Ubuntu 20.04.

Yes, learners receive a digital certificate after successfully completing the program and meeting all the required conditions (overall performance score, attendance, payment clearance etc).

You’ll graduate with 2 total projects - built across 50+ hands-on assignments, and one programming assessment. Every project is documented with an AI Decision Log explaining the engineering judgment behind it, so the portfolio shows employers how you work, not just what you shipped.
