Cost should never be the reason a student can’t take part. That is why Seepshila is at zero net cost to students: the training fee is returned at the end of training.
The short version
The training and internship program (three months of training, then three months of internship) has a fee of NPR 21,000 per student. The student pays it, and it is returned to the student at the end of training.
The details
- A 10% discount reduces what the student pays before the fee is returned.
- A 10% share for the college recognizes the college's role as host and partner.
- The return is processed when the student completes the training.
- Fees are invoiced to the college or collected from students according to the terms agreed with each college. The exact timing, conditions and documentation are set in the partnership agreement.
Why it works this way
Seepshila is a social initiative, not a commercial course. Returning the fee removes cost as a barrier to taking part, while asking students to commit at the start. It also keeps the program honest: it only works if students complete their training.
What about colleges and industry?
Colleges pay for the services they commission, such as credit-linked workshops and career counseling sessions; the fees are listed on the For colleges page. Industry partnerships carry no fee: employers contribute in kind, by stating the skills they need, hosting interns and offering placements.
