For universities
Give your graduates the credential
AI can't fake.
A co-branded pilot for your institution across CS, Data Science, and Business Analytics. Zero curriculum burden on your faculty. The rigor lives in the system, not in your staff.
The challenge
The shift your graduates
walk into in 2026.
AI is very good at the tasks that graduate students were trained to do. The question your graduates face at every interview is the same: what do I bring that AI cannot replicate?
| Discipline | What AI now does well | What becomes scarce |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science | Writing code | Making AI-generated code reliable in production |
| Data Science | Training models, generating predictions | Measuring whether AI outputs are actually correct |
| Business Analytics | Producing analysis and dashboards | Knowing which AI-generated analysis to trust before acting |
Two consequences for your institution: a degree means less on its own when AI helps everyone look competent, and recruiters can no longer tell who is genuinely good. Pukkaship closes that gap with verifiable proof — and a placement metric you can put in front of recruiters and parents with real confidence.
Three tracks, one delivery mechanism
One underlying skill.
Three discipline expressions.
Data Science / AI-ML
WaitlistEvaluation & Reliability
Knowing when AI and ML systems actually work versus when they only appear to. 20 weeks · 10 investigations across different industries. Portfolio: documented findings with quantified root causes.
Business Analytics
WaitlistValidation & Governance
Structured skepticism before acting or presenting. 20 weeks · 10 validation case studies. Portfolio: case files with clear verdicts an executive can act on.
The credential
A placement metric you can
show with confidence.
Every portfolio looks strong today — AI helped make it. The verified skills profile changes the question from “what does your GitHub show?” to “can I inspect the evidence behind every claim?”
- Every skill claim links to real work — a pull request, an investigation report, or a validation case file
- Cannot be faked: written reasoning and on-camera explanation prove authorship
- Recruiters can verify any claim independently in under ten minutes
- The areas-of-growth section is mandatory — it is what makes the rest credible
What a placement team can say
“Every claim in a student’s profile links to real work. This is not a completion certificate — it is evidence. We can show this to any recruiter and they can verify it themselves.”
Framing for placement teams — co-branded with your institution
How it works
The rigor lives in the system,
not in your staff.
01
Real broken systems
Students work on real AI and data systems with planted failures — one challenge at a time, at the right level of difficulty for their discipline.
02
Explain the reasoning
Every fix requires written reasoning and an on-camera walkthrough. There is no way to ship without showing you understood what you changed.
03
Automated checking
Work is checked by the gate system — not graded by faculty. The next challenge only unlocks when the current one is complete and explained.
04
Weekly progress
Students see where they stand. Your point of contact sees how the cohort is tracking. No manual effort required from your team.
05
Verified skills profile
Finishing earns a co-branded skills profile with inspectable evidence behind every claim — a placement metric for your team and a credential for the student.
The pilot
A founding-cohort pilot
for your institution.
Pukkaship provides the full program, automated checking, and verified skills profiles. Your institution nominates students and one point of contact. That is the full extent of the operational ask.
The founding-cohort rate exists because a strong shared result matters more to me right now than margin. It is a rate I will not be able to offer once the first cohort has completed.
| Cohort size | 50–100 students (50 minimum) |
| Who they are | Final-year or recent graduates from your CS, DS, and BA programs |
| Branding | Co-branded — Pukkaship × Your Institution |
| Delivery | Pukkaship provides full program and automated checking |
| Your side | Nominate students and one point of contact — no grading or curriculum work |
| What success looks like | A meaningful share of your cohort finishing with a verified profile your placement team can show |
| Per student | |
|---|---|
| Standard institutional | ₹19,500 |
| Founding cohort | ₹14,500 |
If this resonates, all I'm asking for is a
45-minute conversation.
In person if possible. If it's not the right fit, you'll have spent 45 minutes and seen something genuinely new in the graduate employability space.
