Uncodemy Cybersecurity Course — Everything You Need to Know
Quick summary — the Uncodemy Cybersecurity course
The Uncodemy Cybersecurity course is a 12-week live-mentored programme that covers foundation + one of three specialisations (SOC Analyst, Pentester, or Cloud Security), ending with a real capstone project and placement support. It's designed for beginners with no prior security experience — a basic understanding of IT and networking helps but isn't mandatory. Fees are ₹38,500. Entry salary in Delhi NCR is ₹4–8 LPA; with 2–3 years of experience, ₹10–18 LPA is realistic. The course is honest about not guaranteeing a job — it provides resume support, mock interviews and hiring-partner referrals.
In this guide you will learn:
- The full curriculum — module by module.
- The three specialisation tracks — which fits you.
- Tools you'll actually use — Splunk, Burp, Metasploit, more.
- Fees, faculty, and placement support — honest breakdown.
- Interview Q&A + quiz to check your understanding.

SECTION 06Interview Q&A — about the course
Q1Do I need prior IT experience to take this course?
No — but basic IT literacy helps. We include a pre-work module on Linux and networking that brings beginners up to speed. If you're a non-IT graduate, budget 2–3 extra weeks before starting to complete the pre-work properly.
Q2Which specialisation should I pick?
Depends on your interests. If you like defence and log analysis, SOC Analyst. If you like breaking things and finding vulnerabilities, Pentester. If you're already into cloud/DevOps, Cloud Security. When undecided, start with SOC — it's the broadest foundation and easiest to transition from later.
Q3Is the course recorded or live?
Live. All sessions are live with Q&A. You'll also get access to recordings afterwards for revision. Small batch sizes mean real attention from the trainer, not just broadcast lectures.
Q4Do you guarantee placement?
No — and no honest institute should. We provide resume rebuilds, mock interviews, portfolio review, and introductions to 14+ hiring partners. Whether you get placed depends on your effort, the market, and your interview performance. We're honest about this.
Q5Can I take this course while working full-time?
Yes — the weekend batch (Saturday 10 AM) is designed for working professionals. Many of our students are working in IT support, help desk, or adjacent roles and transition into security. The weekend batch adds about 2 weeks to the total duration.

SECTION 08Frequently asked questions
How long does the Uncodemy Cybersecurity course take?
12 weeks total — 4 weeks foundation + 8 weeks specialisation. Weekend batch adds about 2 weeks. Includes capstone project and career prep.
What certifications does the course prepare me for?
We provide prep support for Security+, CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), and AWS Security Specialty. The course itself doesn't include certification exams (those are separate costs) but the curriculum aligns with what those certifications test.
Can I switch specialisations after starting?
Not during the course — but you can re-attend the specialisation portion of another track later using your lifetime batch-repeat access. Many graduates do this to add a second specialisation.
Do I need to buy any software or hardware?
No. All tools we use are free and open source (Kali Linux, Burp Suite Community, Metasploit, Splunk Free, etc.) or provided via cloud access. You'll need a laptop with at least 8GB RAM and preferably 16GB for running virtual machines.
Is cybersecurity a good career in India in 2026?
Yes — one of the strongest. Every sector (BFSI, healthcare, government, e-commerce) needs security professionals, and the talent gap is real. Salaries are strong and rising. It's not as hyped as AI, but demand is stable and the field isn't going away.
