Here's How It Works

Here's How It Works

The Reality of Moving to the U.S. Right After Class 12 —






For most students, it’s too much, too soon:





– 13,000 km away, right after school

– Living alone at 17 or 18

– No friends, family, or support system abroad

– Managing visas, housing, and finances — alone

– ₹2 crore cost upfront, all at once

– Adapting to a new education system overnight

– No clarity on what comes after graduation


This program offers a simpler, safer path —


Time to grow.

Time to prepare.

Time for families to plan, step by step —

With 2 years in India and 2 years in the U.S.

Step 1 — Start in Hyderabad (Year 1 & 2 at Anurag University)

Step 1 — Start in Hyderabad (Year 1 & 2 at Anurag University)

You begin at Anurag University in Hyderabad — Ranked the 3ʳᵈ best engineering college in Telangana.

You build a strong foundation in programming, algorithms, systems, and data structures. The curriculum follows the same academic model used in the U.S.

You're also fully trained for the U.S. visa interview — with everything from documentation to mock rounds handled end-to-end.

By the end of Year 2, you're ready — academically, personally, and visa-approved — to move to the U.S. for the final two years.

Step 2 — Transfer to the U.S. (Year 3 & 4 at ASU)

Step 2 — Transfer to the U.S. (Year 3 & 4 at ASU)

In Year 3, you move to Arizona State University (ASU) — ranked #2 in the U.S. for employability among public universities*.

You build skills in secure coding, network security, digital forensics, data protection, operating systems, and incident response.

Alongside academics, you're trained with real strategies to launch your career in the U.S. — from building your resume and portfolio to preparing for interviews and internships.

These two years prepare you to graduate with confidence — and take the next step: working in the U.S. through OPT.


*As per the Global Employability University Ranking and Survey, 2025.

Step 3 — Graduate Ready to Work in the U.S.

Step 3 — Graduate Ready to Work in the U.S.

You’ll graduate with a degree in Cybersecurity.

Upon completing this 4-year program, you’ll be eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT) under the STEM track.

Allowing you to work in the U.S. for up to 3 years after graduation and build your career with top employers in tech, finance, and consulting.

Save Up to 40% by Starting in India and Plan Your Finances

Save Up to 40% by Starting in India and Plan Your Finances

Since the first 2 years are based in India, your tuition and living costs are up to 40% lower compared to a fully residential program in the U.S.

Families don’t have to arrange the full U.S. expense upfront.

This gives you more time to plan, save, and manage your expenses step by step.

Education Loan Support for the First 25 Students

Education Loan Support for the First 25 Students

If you're among the first 25 students to apply, you can get a no-collateral education loan that covers up to 100% of college fees and on-campus student housing (hostel).

There’s no need to fund everything upfront—your family gets time to plan, step by step.
