[ The build ]

A real problem, a real fix.

Every Cohort 01 fellow started with people, not an idea: find who has the problem, talk to them, then build.

The problem

Educational institutes rely on scattered manual processes to manage students, fees, attendance, and staff operations.

What Sanjana built

Tuition OS

Tuition OS brings core institute operations into one centralized platform for managing records, fees, attendance, and staff efficiently.

Ch Sreemayee (BTF-004) and Sanjana Labishetty (BTF-005) joined Build Theory just after Intermediate, very new to coding. They built Tuition OS, which went live on Day 29 and is used every day at Sreemayee's parents' tuition centre.

[ Questions ]

Before you start

Real answers to what students ask us most.

See all questions →

I don't understand AI yet. Can I still do this?

Yes. If you've used ChatGPT, you can start. Your mentor shows you which AI tools to use, and how, as you build.

Won't this eat into my DSA prep?

No. It's about 3–5 hours a week, and you plan them around your classes and prep. Build Theory runs alongside your DSA prep, not instead of it. Coding rounds still matter. This gives you something to talk about once you clear them.

Is it online or offline?

Fully online, so you can do it from anywhere, around your classes. The one exception is Demo Day: one in-person day in Hyderabad where you present what you built.

What happens after I apply?

Fill a short application. About 5 minutes, no payment. Prashanth calls you within 24 hours to talk through your idea and see if it's a fit. If it's a fit, you confirm your seat with ₹500. It's adjusted against the fee and non-refundable.
