Frequently Asked

Questions principals and IT heads always ask us.

Do students need a coding or maths background?
No. The curriculum is designed for ages 8-19 with zero prerequisites. Concepts are introduced through visual tools and stories before any code is written, with maths layered in only as it becomes useful.
Is the certification recognised?
Yes. NCVET-accredited (Govt. of India), CBSE-adopted, and students/teachers receive a joint certificate from HP, Intel and NIELIT.
How is the AI Lab actually set up?
SmartSoft handles end-to-end deployment - hardware (30+ HP AI-powered devices), software stack, network, branding and on-site setup, followed by Intel-led train-the-trainer and full student roll-out.
Can the program work for non-CBSE schools?
Absolutely. While CBSE has officially adopted the curriculum across 26,000+ schools, the program is curriculum-agnostic and runs across state boards, ICSE, IB and international schools.
What's the timeline from sign-up to first class?
Typical end-to-end deployment is 4 - 6 weeks: 2-3 weeks for hardware setup, 1 week for train-the-trainer, and student roll-out begins immediately after.
