Two graduations · one unforgettable year
Class
of 2026
Confetti cannons, a Sharkathon, a magician, a stand-up comic, gowns, sparklers and caps in the air. This is what finishing at DIT looks like.
Chapter one
Three months of weekends ended in one night: the Sharkathon 2026, where the best ideas got investment, then a magician, a stand-up set, gowns, sparklers and dinner under the sky.

Pitched to the Sharks
Students presented their ideas live to a panel of judges, products like Keshav AI and Elev8, and took the questions head on. The best ideas got investment.
The Harry Potter theme
A magician from India's Got Talent

A Fellowship graduate, on the night
Chapter two
A month of summer for school students that didn't feel like a class: they built websites and apps, made AI videos and even composed music, then walked up for their certificates.
Certificate day · 4–5 Jun 2026
“It did not feel like a class, it was a kind of friendly session.”
A GenZ-AI student, from the review video

DIT Andheri
An experience, not a course.
Our Andheri centre is built for the hours around the lessons too: come early, stay late, and take a proper break between builds.

For the breaks between builds.
PlayStation room
Yes, a real PlayStation room.
Coffee machine
Fresh coffee whenever you need it.
Tea machine
Because Mumbai runs on chai.

Every graduation adds to the DIT alumni: people who couldn't code, now building websites, apps and agents. Hear it from them, with sound on.
