Aazhi is a tech school for students from Tamil Nadu's smaller towns. Classes are in Tamil, notes are in English. Six courses are free forever. Three live cohorts take you from your first commit to your first offer letter.

Aazhi means the deep sea. You start at the shore and go deeper when you're ready.

    Doubt-a? Kelu.

    கேள்வி கேக்குறது தப்பில்ல.

    English bayama irukku. Naan follow panna mudiyuma?

    Mudiyum. Every class is taught in Tamil. Notes are in simple English, so you learn the words interviewers use without memorising them. Code-ku grammar podhum, accent illa. Muthukuli cohorts also run spoken-English mock interviews, so the first time you explain a project in English isn't the real interview.

    Laptop illa. Phone-la padikka mudiyuma?

    For Karai, yes: the early lessons in Python, Git basics and prompting run in a phone browser. Honest-a sonna, Docker, Kubernetes and the paid cohorts need a laptop. 8 GB RAM is enough, no gaming machine needed. If that's the only thing stopping you, tell us when you apply for the first-gen scholarship.

    Fees evlo? EMI irukka?

    Karai is free forever. Muthukuli: Muthu 01 Backend is ₹14,999 or ₹1,999/month, Muthu 02 Cloud & DevOps is ₹11,999 or ₹1,799/month, Muthu 03 AI Agents & Data is ₹12,999 or ₹1,899/month. Pay by UPI, card or EMI. First-generation graduates can apply for a scholarship. Before you pay anything, attend one full class free.

    Naan Tamil-medium-la padichen. Enakku set aaguma?

    Set aagum. Logic-ku medium kidaiyaadhu. Many of our seniors studied in Tamil-medium schools; that's why we teach in Tamil. You'll pick up the English technical words naturally through the notes, one lesson at a time.

    Placement guarantee kudupeengala?

    Illa. Yaarum honest-a 100% guarantee kudukka mudiyaadhu, and you should be careful of anyone who does. Here is what we do promise in every cohort: two scored mock interviews, resume reviews until it's sharp, a capstone you can demo, system-design practice, and introductions to our alumni for referrals. The job comes from your work plus that plan.

    Day-ku evlo neram venum?

    Karai: 3 to 4 hours a week, at your own pace. Day-ku 30 to 40 nimisham podhum. Muthukuli: live classes 3 or 4 times a week, about 2 hours each and recorded if you miss one, plus 4 to 5 hours of practice a week. Semester exam time-la slow pannalaam; your mentor will plan around it.
