Transform Your Placement Preparation From Aptitude-Only to Portfolio-First
A 4-month structured program combining portfolio building (40% of time), technical skill development (20%), aptitude training (25%), and off-campus strategy (15%). Designed for TPOs who want to move placement numbers from ₹3.5 LPA service-company outcomes to ₹8+ LPA product-company outcomes.
What a Complete Placement Preparation Program Actually Looks Like
Traditional placement preparation at tier-3 colleges focuses 100% on aptitude training — necessary to clear service-company filters but completely insufficient for the portfolio-driven evaluation that higher-paying product companies use. The TPO Accelerator inverts this allocation: portfolio building receives 40% of program time because a deployed project is the prerequisite for product-company applications, technical skills receive 20% (SQL from basic to window functions, coding patterns, system design basics), aptitude receives 25% (sufficient to clear service-company filters), and off-campus strategy receives 15% (LinkedIn optimization, platform profiles, application cadence, outreach templates). This allocation produces students who are competitive for both service-company and product-company tracks.
The program is delivered through workshop sessions led by industry engineers, structured portfolio assignments with peer review, automated technical assessments, and a TPO dashboard tracking cohort progress. At program end, every student has a deployed portfolio, demonstrable SQL skills, and an active off-campus application strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this run alongside our existing aptitude training partner?
Yes. The TPO Accelerator is designed to complement existing programs. If your college already has an aptitude training partner, the Accelerator adds the missing 75% without duplicating the aptitude component.
