Every question, answered honestly

It's very simple: A career-transition platform for graduates who want to move into IT.

The first step is to understand your current position and get clarity about the right IT career path. Don't start by randomly learning technologies. Start by answering four questions: Where am I now? Which IT career can I realistically target? What skills do I need? What should I do next? Once you have these answers, your IT career journey becomes much clearer.

No. We have successfully placed candidates with multi-year gaps, including parents returning to work. What employers care about is current, demonstrable skill — which is exactly what the live projects and capstone give you. Your mentors will also coach you on how to present the gap confidently in interviews.

Training is live and instructor-led — not recorded videos. You can attend online from anywhere, and recordings of your own batch sessions are available for revision. Our Kolkata (Salt Lake, Sector V) centre also supports in-person interaction; ask your counsellor about the current batch format.

We run batches designed for both freshers and working professionals, including morning, evening and weekend options. Timings vary by course and intake — your counsellor will share the current schedule for the program you're interested in.

Three things: real teachers, real depth, real accountability. Classes are live and led by practising industry experts — not pre-recorded videos with chat support. Batch sizes stay small enough for mentors to know your name and your progress. And we stay with you through CV preparation, mock interviews and placement — the same team since 2015.

Yes — book a free counselling session and we'll arrange for you to experience a live class before you commit. We want you to choose with confidence.

You will not be treated as a fresher, and you will receive partial credit. It totally depends on what background you are coming from.

Help you to transition into Core IT through live training, practical projects, mentorship, and career support.

Your past does not automatically disqualify you from building an IT career. But the transition needs a realistic plan. Ask tough questions, i.e. Did you got a mentor from the IT industry in your past attempt? Did you gave your 100% to the program in the past?

We don't guarantee jobs. We help you become genuinely ready to compete in the current market with specialized skills and provide all the support until your placement.

Back in November 2015, it was a partnership farm, but in September 2019, it became a private limited company.

In a batch, max 15. It's ok for us to run a batch with 4-5 students, but never more than 15.

IT transition requires more than watching videos or collecting certificates. You need the right career direction, practical skills, hands-on experience, interview preparation and consistent effort.

Don't choose an IT course simply because someone says it is “high demand.” Tell us: Your degree Graduation year Current or previous career Experience Career goal We'll help you understand which path may be realistic for your situation.

You want a guaranteed job without effort. You don't want to attend live classes. You aren't willing to practice. You expect someone else to do the work for you. You're looking for a 30-day shortcut into IT. You're unwilling to face technical interviews.

You are serious about changing your career. You're willing to invest 6–12 months. You can consistently learn. You want mentorship. You want practical IT skills. You're prepared to earn the opportunity rather than buy a certificate.

Daily, 2-3 hours / weekly 14-21 hours

Yes, we do provide referrals, but we do not depend only on referrals; rather, we focus on making you industry-ready, keeping in mind long-term results.

Month 1: IT fundamentals; Month 2: Core technology; Month 3: Advanced concepts; Month 4: Hands-on labs; Month 5:Real project; Month 6:Interview preparation; Month 7:Technical screening + placement preparation

Yes. Poor spoken English does not mean you cannot build an IT career. You should work on your communication skills, but you do not need to speak perfect English before starting your IT journey. In IT, you also need to learn how to understand requirements, communicate with your team, explain technical problems, write emails, and participate in meetings. You can improve your English while developing your technical career.

This is common among many graduates. Instead of trying to speak complicated English, focus on speaking simple, clear, and understandable English. You should also practice explaining: Your educational background Your skills Your projects What you have learned Why you want to work in IT Technical concepts related to your target role Confidence comes through preparation and practice.

Yes, it can be possible for certain IT roles. Your degree is one part of your profile. Your technical knowledge, practical skills, projects, problem-solving ability, and interview performance can also matter. The right approach is to identify IT roles where your existing background can be combined with new technical skills.

No. SHA Career Hub is designed to help graduates and career transitioners who are trying to understand how they can build a career in IT, including people who may not come from a traditional IT or computer science background. The suitability of a particular IT career depends on the individual's background, capabilities, goals, and readiness to learn.

Yes — this is exactly who SHA Career Hub was built for. A large share of our placed alumni came from non-IT degrees. Every program starts from fundamentals, and the Foundation Program exists specifically to bring non-IT graduates up to speed before specialisation. Your degree gets you eligibility; the 7 months of hands-on training gets you the job.

Yes — many of our students are working professionals. Live sessions are scheduled to suit working hours, session recordings are available for revision, and mentors help you pace lab work through the week. Expect to invest consistent weekly effort; the 7-month structure is designed to be sustainable alongside a job.

If you have completed only Class 12, we recommend completing a Bachelor’s degree in any stream before pursuing a core IT career or approaching us for career support. Most IT companies, particularly MNCs, require graduation as a minimum eligibility criterion for many entry-level IT roles.

Yes, you need a mentor from the IT industry with 10+ years of experience with a structured career-transition program that should build practical IT skills, work on real projects, prepare for interviews, and get career support throughout your transition.

Foundation ->Cloud Administration ->Cloud Support / Junior Cloud Engineer ->Cloud Engineer ->Senior Cloud Engineer->Cloud / Solutions Architect

Database Foundation:→ Junior DBA / Database Support→ DBA→ Senior DBA / Database Engineer→ Database Architect

No, not at all. Below is the path you have to follow: Database Foundation:→ Junior DBA / Database Support→ DBA→ Senior DBA / Database Engineer→ Database Architect

No, Not at all. Foundation ->Cloud Administration ->Cloud Support / Junior Cloud Engineer ->Cloud Engineer ->Senior Cloud Engineer->Cloud / Solutions Architect

You don't need to choose a technology before understanding the career. Your IT Career Map: Graduate->Understand your background & strengths->Choose a direction->If you enjoy...Infrastructure, systems, servers, then a possible path is Cloud / Infrastructure-> If you enjoy...Databases, data, backend systems, then a possible path is Database / Cloud DBA. If you enjoy...Programming + mathematics + analytics, then a possible path is Data / AI. If you enjoy...Automation + infrastructure, then a possible path is DevOps / Cloud Engineering. If you enjoy...Security & systems, then a possible path is Cloud Security / Cybersecurity. If you enjoy...Multiple cloud platforms, then a possible path is Multi-Cloud / Gen & Agentic AI and on ......Final steps once you decide: Foundation → Specialisation → Projects → Interview Preparation → Job Search _> Got placement. So you need one mentor for this guidance who himself works in the IT Industry that to minimum of 10- 12 years.

A normal laptop with a stable internet connection is enough — most labs run in the cloud. No prior coding knowledge is required; every program starts from fundamentals and builds up step by step.

You receive a course completion certificate from SHA Career Hub, and the cloud programs are aligned to the official certification tracks (such as AWS, Microsoft AZ-104 and OCI certifications). Certification exam preparation is part of the training, and mentors guide you on when and which exam to attempt. Our Kolkata centre is a Pearson VUE Authorised Test Centre, so you can sit AWS and Microsoft certification exams at the institute itself.

It depends on your background and interests. Broadly: Database Architect or PostgreSQL DBA if you want a deep, evergreen database specialisation (Oracle or open-source); AWS or Azure for the largest volume of cloud jobs; OCI for a differentiated, lower-competition path; Multi Cloud for maximum flexibility; the Career Re-Engineering Program if you are already an IT professional and want cloud architecture, DevOps and Generative AI together; Data Science with Python if you prefer analysis over infrastructure. Unsure? Start with a free counselling call or the Foundation Program's career-clarity track.

There are two options for every track. Training only starts from ₹20,000, depending on the course and duration. The Training + Placement Program — classes plus CV building, mock interviews with recruiters and support until you are placed — starts from ₹1,00,000, depending on the track and level of support. The exact price for your program and instalment options are shared in a free counselling call; most students pay in instalments.

Yes. Placement support is built into every program — CV preparation to industry standards, tech screening, marketing of your profile, and mock interviews conducted by recruiters and industry experts, with assistance until you are hired. Our alumni work at companies including TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, IBM, Oracle, Deloitte, PwC, Cognizant, Capgemini, JP Morgan and many more — the full list is on the Placements page.

It varies with your background, city and interview performance. As a general market picture, entry-level cloud and database roles in India typically start around ₹5–6 LPA, with strong performers and certified candidates going higher — some of our alumni have started at 36 LPA and above. Mentors will help you target roles realistically and negotiate well.

Honestly, no — and we believe you deserve to hear that clearly. No genuine IT training and career-support organization, including SHA Career HUB, can honestly guarantee a 100% job placement simply because someone completes a program. Why? Because getting a job is a shared responsibility. SHA can provide the right training, guidance, preparation, opportunities, and continuous support — but we cannot attend interviews, demonstrate your skills, make career decisions, or perform on your behalf.

Our objective is to give graduates from both IT and non-IT backgrounds a structured and practical pathway to build an IT career. Depending on the program and your individual background, SHA Career HUB may provide: Career guidance and mentoring; practical, job-oriented IT training; hands-on projects; practical exposure; interview preparation CV/Resume guidance; interview opportunities and referrals, Continued career support until you achieve your placement goal.

No direct company placements. It's for recruitment opportunities with a referral.
