Alpha Batch Software Development Training Plan

Objective:
Equip students with advanced programming, problem‑solving, and technical skills required for
high‑performing software development roles in product‑based companies. The program covers:

● Advanced Data Structures & Algorithms

● Modern Object‑Oriented Programming and Design Patterns
● Scalable System Design and Architecture
● Full Stack Development (both front‑end and back‑end technologies)
● AWS Core Services with integrated DevOps practices

Through hands‑on projects and interactive sessions, students will build robust technical
foundations, develop real‑world projects, and gain practical experience with industry‑standard
tools and platforms.

Delivery Mode:
We will follow a comprehensive and engaging strategy that prepares students effectively for
entry-level software development roles.

1. Offline On-Campus Sessions: Interactive, instructor-led classes combining live

demonstrations and hands-on coding exercises.
2. Daily Practice: Homework assignments designed to reinforce material covered in class.
3. Additional Practice Exercises: Extra problem sets, including company-specific
challenges, to provide real-world relevance.
4. Asynchronous Resources: Recorded videos, online tutorials, and interactive modules
available for students to review and practice concepts at their own pace.
