// 01 — THE SYSTEM

Classrooms teach. Internships use you.
Here, you ship.

MODULE.A — USUAL CLASSROOM

Learn now, work later.

Theory, exams, notes. You wait years before touching anything real.

output: marks, no proof of work

MODULE.B — USUAL INTERNSHIP

Small tasks for someone else.

PPTs, data entry, 2 months over. Nothing with your name on it.

output: certificate, no skill

★ MODULE.C — MARKETECH LABS

Learn by building real systems.

One lab for school + college. Squad + mentor + real problem. Research → prototype → users → docs. Your name stays on the work.

output: live build + github + report + research depth See the path ↓
CORE RULE // Passion over pedigree. Build before you graduate. School or college — if you are curious and ready to work, you can be a member. That's the whole founding note in one line.
FIRST OF ITS KIND — KOLKATA // No coaching centre, no internship factory, no online course does this: school + college students in the same squads, guided by mentors, doing real R&D on real problems. Kolkata's first-of-its-kind Student Research & Innovation Firm — being built in this city, for the first time.

// 02 — BUILD PATH

From “I like tech” to “I built this.”

3–6 months, 2 sessions a week. A mentor walks with you at every node. Join anytime — no batch wait.

01

Apply + intro call

No marks test. We ask: what do you want to make? Parents join for younger students.

02

Squad + mentor

3–5 builders, school + college mixed. One guide who has shipped before.

03

Real problem

Local news, campus tool, sensor, AI helper — something real users need.

04

Prototype + learn

Code, design, test, docs. You learn the tools while making v0.1.

05

Launch + validate

Real users try it. You fix, rewrite, document. This becomes your proof.

06

Grow / lead

Need college internship credit? MSME paperwork included. Strong builders become core members who guide the next squad.

// CLEAR YOUR DOUBTS

What Marketech is not.

“Is it just an internship?”

No. Internship paperwork (MSME) is included for those who need college credit — but the work is real R&D in a squad, not 2 months of tasks. You can grow into a core member who guides the next batch.

“Is it coaching / EdTech?”

It may feel as homely as your typical coaching centre — small groups, mentors who know you by name. But it doesn't stop at learning. Learning is just the warm-up here; the real game is creating. Take this as your sign to build the next big thing.

“Only AI?”

AI is one tool. JDP does web, apps, data and AI software; SIL builds Indian Engineering & AI with real hardware — design, wire, code, deploy from day one.

“Will every project launch big?”

Honestly, no. Most stay as learning and research builds. A few — like the ones on our Projects page — keep improving toward launch.

// 05 — QUESTIONS

Simple answers, no jargon.

Who can join — school or college? +

Both. Same lab, same squads. If you're in school (VIII+) or college and you're curious + ready to work 4–5 hrs/week, you can join yourself. No marks filter. School students must also give a parent's contact — we keep parents in the loop whenever needed.

How do I join? Is there a batch? +

No batches, no waiting. Join anytime. JDP applies here, SIL applies on the SIL site — see the Join page. Short intro call after you apply, then you start with your squad.

What is the fee? +

Membership plans are explained on the Join page — JDP has simple monthly plans, applying is free, no hidden charges, and we pause during exams.

Do I need to know coding? +

No. We start from zero and teach tools as you build. What we don't accept: “I'll just watch.” Everyone builds.

Is internship paperwork included? +

For those who need college credit — yes. We're MSME-registered: offer letter, attendance, project report, completion letter. LOR depends on your actual work. Details on the Join page.

Is it online or offline? +

Online-only. Every squad, session and demo runs online — join from anywhere in the world with the same mentors. And members get more: exclusive offline sessions, events and meetups from time to time, plus occasional goodies and merch as rewards for great builds.

What do I get at the end? +

Live links, GitHub commits, docs with your name, demo videos, and a mentor who can genuinely recommend you. Certificate too — but proof matters more.
