Teaching Assistants (TAs) work closely with the tutors to help students with their assignments and homework. They answer students' doubts via chat and video call. You would interact with TA’s regularly outside of the live-class sessions to get more hands-on problem solving experience.
Teaching Assistants (TAs) mostly come from strong problem-solving backgrounds. They can be from a range of experiences but share a common interest towards coding and teaching alike.
When a student has a doubt, he/she would raise a “Help Request”. This “Help Request” would be circulated within the peer group first in order to foster a sense of giving back and create a sense of community. In parallel, the Teaching Assistant is also alerted with regards to this “Help Request”. The doubt can then be either clarified via the peer group or via the Teaching Assistants via text or via video call. If a video call is done, the Teaching Assistant can also share his/her screen to resolve the issue and help you understand the concept better. These video calls are done 1:1.

Entrance test

The test will comprise of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) on the following topics:

  1. Logical reasoning and aptitude
  2. Basic mathematics (topics like permutation and combinations, probability etc.)
  3. Basic time complexity analysis
  4. Questions on figuring out the outputs of small code snippets (in any of C++/Java/Python)
Yes! We have designed the test so that it can be easily taken on mobile as well. However for best results, we would advise you to take the test in a quiet setting with minimal disruptions.
No, you do not need any special preparation for this test.
However, if you would like, you could brush up on simple concepts like arrangement, derangement, and a few simple aptitude questions. For time complexity analysis and code comprehension questions, you could choose to practice questions like :
