Frequently Asked Questions
Who can enroll in SJCE-STEP Skill-Series cohorts?
Programs are open to engineering undergraduates, postgraduates, software developers, and startup founders from all recognized colleges and institutions across India. Basic programming familiarity is recommended.
How does cohort enrollment and payment verification work?
Select your target cohort, initiate payment to the official SJCE-STEP bank or UPI account, and upload your transaction UTR screenshot. The Project Officer verifies the record within 24 hours, automatically enabling full access in your candidate portal.
Are the lectures live or self-paced?
The curriculum is delivered in a hybrid format: modular on-demand video lectures and technical documentation, paired with weekly live office hours with incubator mentors for code reviews and capstone unblocking.
How is the Certificate of Competency verified?
Each credential generated by SJCE-STEP contains a permanent cryptographic ID and QR code. Recruiter verification portals can confirm the authenticity, issuing authority, and capstone repository.
Can capstone prototypes receive incubation support at SJCE-STEP?
Yes. Outstanding capstone prototypes are evaluated by the SJCE-STEP screening committee for pre-incubation grants, free co-working space, and technical mentorship.
