How do I pay, and is it secure?
The short answer
Free courses cost nothing. For paid items (a certificate, a pass, mock exams, a programme) you pay on a secure Razorpay window with UPI, cards or netbanking, in rupees with GST included. We never see your card.

Pay in the secure window
Courses are free. A few extras are optional and paid: the Certificate of Completion, certificate passes, mock exams, a graded project review, and the online programmes (EPGDIA and the AIP). Classroom fees are agreed with admissions: see How do the programme fees and instalments work?. The price is always shown before you pay.
- Choose Add to cart on the item, then open your cart and choose Proceed to checkout. If you are not signed in, you are asked to sign in first and your cart is kept. (On a pass screen, Get my certificate takes you straight to payment.)
- Check the total, add a Discount code if you have one, and tick the box to agree to the Terms and the refund policy.
- Choose Pay with if you are offered a choice, and press Order with obligation to pay.
- Pay in the secure window that opens.
Which payment page you get
- Razorpay takes UPI, Indian cards and netbanking, in rupees. The price includes GST, and it is the usual choice in India.
- Stripe takes cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. If your account's country is outside India, you are charged in US dollars through Stripe, and checkout shows the dollar price before you pay.
Your card details go straight to Razorpay or Stripe. We never see or store them. Your bank may add its own conversion or card fees. Digital items are issued as soon as the payment completes, and a receipt is kept under Orders & Receipts.
