Why it’s not FREE?

The program fee is set at INR 8,000 to ensure that participants are fully committed and value the learning experience. This nominal program fee we charge serves a dual purpose: it underscores the value of the program, encouraging commitment and seriousness among participants, and fosters a spirit of giving back. The program fee will be donated to initiatives aimed at enhancing data literacy and education within the community.

Can I get my program fees waived?

As a non-profit initiative, we strive to keep our program accessible while ensuring quality and commitment from participants. Currently, we do not offer fee waivers. The nominal fee of INR 8,000 is crucial for maintaining the program's sustainability and impact. However, if you are facing significant financial hardship, please reach out to Akshay (support_dataalchemy@5x.co) directly. We are committed to inclusivity and may explore alternative ways to support deserving candidates.
