The faculty at PST includes top IIT alumni, tech leaders, CTOs, and founders, providing 1:1 mentorship and guidance to students.
Beyond the classroom, PST also aims to foster the spirit of entrepreneurship in the students through their inhouse incubator Polaris Tech Combinator, where students can launch and pitch their tech startups and raise seed funding of up to $10,000. Additionally, students can shadow CXOs from leading tech companies, participate in hackathons and live projects, and join tech communities like Web3, GenAI and many more to connect with like-minded techies.
Located in Bengaluru, the tech hub of India, PST offers students an immersive campus experience with easy access to leading global tech companies. The corporate campus will provide an environment conducive to professional growth, inspired by US-based masters programs where networking is at the core of the curriculum.
