Nishant Chandra, Co-Founder, Newton School, said, “Millions of students every year go to engineering colleges with outdated curriculums which teach coding using pen and paper and have little relevance to industry requirements. This results in a meager three percent employability for new-age jobs even after spending lakhs of rupees. Newton School has developed interactive products and curriculum that allow students to practice coding and get instant feedback, build live industry oriented projects, and get it reviewed by top software developers, making them ready for high paying jobs.”
