40+ projects, from a Unix shell to a transformer

Build log

Six of the twelve things you’ll write yourself.

  • 01Sem 2Confirm

    Unix Shell

    Pipes, redirection, job control and signals. The first program you write that argues with the kernel.

    Effort
    Hours~40 h
  • 05Sem 3Confirm

    myOS: Kernel & Scheduler

    Boot, paging, processes and a scheduler. It will deadlock at 2 AM. You will read the trace. You will fix it.

    Effort
    Hours~140 h
  • 06Sem 4Confirm

    Relational Database

    Pages, a B+ tree, a query planner and transactions. Load it until it breaks, and learn exactly why indexes exist.

    Effort
    Hours~110 h
  • 08Sem 5Confirm

    Compiler

    Source text to machine code: parsing, type checking, an IR and register allocation. The machine stops being magic.

    Effort
    Hours~130 h
  • 09Sem 5Confirm

    Neural Net from Scratch

    An autograd engine, backprop by hand, and a network trained on nothing but arrays and patience. No frameworks.

    Effort
    Hours~50 h
  • 12Sem 6Confirm

    Transformer from Scratch

    Tokeniser, attention, training loop. A small language model you can explain line by line, because you wrote every line.

    Effort
    Hours~90 h

Exit matrix

Same 4 years. Different exits.

  • Without TrevorYou learn frameworks. AI already knows them better.
    With TrevorYou learn systems. AI becomes your power tool, not your replacement.
  • Without TrevorYou “did” OS. You never wrote a scheduler.
    With TrevorYou wrote a scheduler. It deadlocked. You fixed it. You’ll never forget it.
  • Without TrevorYour portfolio: a to-do app and a clone of a clone.
    With TrevorYour portfolio: a shell, a database, a compiler, a neural net, all from scratch.
  • Without Trevor“Why did you choose this design?” → silence.
    With Trevor“Why this design?” → you pull up the benchmark you ran.
  • Without TrevorYour batchmates are whoever the rank list put there.
    With TrevorYour batchmates were selected for how they think, and they raise your ceiling every day.

Same B.Tech. Different four years.

How the four years work

Foundations first. Then real work.

Students in a classroom sessionYear 1

Foundations

Programming, mathematics, how computers work. The Drawing Board starts here. You build a shell, an interpreter and your first real tools.

Students working in a computer labYear 2

Core systems

OS, networks, databases, algorithms. You build a database, a TCP stack, and you get your first open-source contribution merged.

Students presenting work to industry guestsYear 3

Industry

Specialisation begins, and so does real work. A 3-month summer internship, with a stipend paid by the host company, typically ₹20,000–₹40,000 a month.

Students in an advanced studies sessionYear 4

Depth

Capstone, advanced track work and a 9-month industry residency on production systems. You graduate with a B.Tech and a public body of work.

Admissions

We admit on how you think.

FAQ

The questions parents ask first.

  • It's a B.Tech awarded by a UGC-recognised university. Trevor designs and delivers the learning; the university awards the degree. For MS abroad, GATE and government jobs, here's exactly where it stands.

  • Not even close. We admit through TAT and an interview, and you'll still need to meet the eligibility criteria above. Your rank measured one exam on one day. We're measuring how you think.

  • Separate residences with resident wardens, 24/7 security, CCTV in common areas, an on-campus medical room, a counsellor five days a week and a zero-tolerance anti-ragging policy with a named committee. This is one answer we will never keep vague.

  • Not yet, and we won't pretend otherwise. Our first batch graduates in 2031. We'll publish real numbers then, median first. Until then, we won't borrow anyone else's.

You have four years. They’re going somewhere.
