The gNIIT Program fits seamlessly alongside a 3-year or 4-year college course, enabling you to gain valuable, industry-relevant skills while you continue your studies.

To enroll in the gNIIT Program, you first need to complete the online application form and submit your details. Depending on the program, you may be required to take a profiler assessment to help determine your readiness and suitability. After completing these steps, you can proceed to pay the program fees. Your admission will be confirmed once the payment is successfully processed.

• Stack 3 – Honours Program (HNP):
  Focuses on core curriculum skills within your chosen specialization, such as Software Engineering or Data Science. Includes 13 courses (including ADP) over 65 weeks, offering in-depth knowledge and hands-on practice.

• Stack 4 – Professional Program (PNP):
  Provides advanced specialization skills and professional readiness. Covers 18 courses (including HNP) over 90 weeks, preparing learners for real-world industry challenges.

• Stack 5 – Full gNIIT Program (GNT):

The gNIIT Program offers several key benefits to learners. It features an industry-relevant curriculum developed with input from technology experts, academic partners, and leading professionals, ensuring that the skills taught are current and job-ready. The program can be pursued alongside your undergraduate degree, allowing you to earn a dual qualification. It also offers a “Practice-While-You-Learn” component, where you can gain valuable industry experience through internships, sometimes with a stipend.

Learners can choose from a wide range of specialization tracks based on their interests and career goals. These include Software Engineering, Data Science, Digital Marketing, Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, Banking & Finance, and FinTech. Please note that the full gNIIT Program is not available for the Banking & Finance specialization.

Learners have the flexibility to exit the gNIIT Program at different stages, depending on their goals and progress. After completing Stack 1, learners become proficient in Digital Technologies. After Stack 2, they gain proficiency in Advanced Digital Technologies. Completion of Stack 3 provides Level 1 competency in a chosen specialization, while Stack 4 leads to full competency in that specialized area. Completing Stack 5 makes the learner a professional in their specialization, ready to take on industry roles.
