Tech and Entrepreneurship: Is It Worth It?
Here's a quick comparison of costs and returns between a typical computer engineering degree of 4 years in Bengaluru and Seedstars Academy (SA) program of 2 years
Incur only ~80% cost of a traditional college
Even at standard fees, the costs of both programs including living expenses, are comparable, i.e. ₹22L (Engg) and ₹18L (SA) respectively, assuming ₹25k/month as living expenses.
1.6x higher salary
Enter the workforce at a mid-level rather than as a junior developer; expect a salary that's 1.6x (₹10L) than the entry-level salary (₹6L) that Engineering graduates land in their offers.
Start earning in half the time
Seedstars Academy gets you ready for a career in two years instead of four as you would in a traditional college. Moreover, we have a 100% placement rate whereas most traditional college offer internships or low-level placement.
