PW Institute of Innovation – PW IOI
PW Institute of Innovation, or PW IOI, is a 4-year Computer Science and AI program started by PW founder Alakh Pandey and PW Co-Founder Prateek Maheshwari. This initiative was taken to bring a new curriculum as many renowned institutes of India are teaching old curricula from the past many years.
Here, You will be mentored by industry top leaders, a mandatory paid internship, networking events, and real-world practical assignments. There is only a 200-seat intake as low strength will also help you network nicely.
You will also get a parallel Bachelor’s degree from a premium institute hosted on Coursera. PW gives placement assurance also only if the student sticks for 4 years and completes all the internships and projects given to them.
