Learn bymaking.

Seven schools, one Pune campus, and every course starts with something you build.

Tap the lawn — the student walks there and tosses a cap.

Most universities teach you about things. We hand you the tools, a workshop and a deadline — and you figure out the rest, together.

The library · 02

Seven schools. Pull a book.

Every school lives on the same shelf, because the best ideas come from borrowing across them. Pick one up and open it.

Tip: each spine is a school. Click one to read it.

How we teach · 03

Wipe the old lecture off the board.

Grab the duster and clean the board. Underneath is how every AAKAAR course actually runs. Then switch to chalk and leave us a note.

  1. 01

    Make it first

    Every course opens with a build, not a lecture.

  2. 02

    Break it

    Critique, test and fail on purpose, in public.

  3. 03

    Teach it back

    You're done when you can teach it to a first-year.
