How challenges work
AI allowed. Understanding required.
Read the brief, answer a few questions to unlock it, and submit your work with a note on your approach. Then answer short questions about your own code. Companies, professors and the Vikosha team all post challenges.
For colleges
Every student placed counts toward your record.
We build your public college page, import your students so they don’t start from zero, and bring companies that never come to campus. Professors can post projects from their own industry work too.
Partner with VikoshaFor startups & SMEs
Hiring one intern? Placement cells won’t make room. We will.
Search students by projects, challenge scores and certificates. Post a role, an internship, a short project or a one-off task, from ₹2,999 a month.
Start hiringQuestions
05What does Vikosha cost a student?
₹0. Students earn credits by learning and doing real work; credits can never be bought.
Is it only for students from partner colleges?
No. Any engineering or tech student can join. Partner colleges get a public page, a placement dashboard and their students imported for them.
Can I use AI in a challenge?
Yes, as long as you say how you used it. After you submit, you answer a few short questions about your own work. Students who use AI well and understand what they built score well.
Who are the experts?
People doing the job today: engineers, product managers, designers, sales and engineering leaders, and alumni who want to help their own college. Not celebrity speakers.
How do employers pay?
A monthly plan plus a fee per hire, paid by UPI. Small teams hiring one intern are as welcome as companies hiring ten.
Which countries is Vikosha for?
We are starting in India, with South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe next.
