Can students in Pune enrol at Networkers Home?
Yes. Networkers Home has no Pune campus, but Pune students have two genuine routes: (1) join live-online batches (same Zoom sessions, same trainer panel, same 24x7 real-hardware lab over vpn.networkershome.com, same Placement Guarantee* terms as Bangalore on-campus), or (2) relocate to Bangalore for the 8-month on-campus flagship.
Networkers Home for Pune students - two genuine routes
Short answer: Networkers Home does NOT have a Pune campus. The institute operates a single campus in HSR Sector 6, Bangalore. Pune students have two genuine routes: (1) join live-online batches (same Zoom batches, same trainer panel, same 24x7 real-hardware lab access, same Placement Guarantee* terms as Bangalore on-campus), or (2) relocate to Bangalore for the 8-month on-campus flagship. There are no franchised or third-party NH branches in Pune.
Pune is one of India's most dense IT-employment cities - Hinjewadi alone has Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant, Capgemini, BMC, Symantec, Veritas. Pune students are a recurring presence in the NH live-online flagship batches. The same training, lab, certs, internship, and Placement Guarantee* are delivered live-online without you having to leave Pune.
Pick the route that matches your goal
Live-online batch (stay in Pune)
Fee range: Rs 9,912 (CCNA) to Rs 1,20,000 incl. GST (8-month flagship)
Duration: 45 days (cert tracks) to 8 months (flagship)
Delivery: Live Zoom + WhatsApp doubt groups + 24x7 real-hardware lab over vpn.networkershome.com
Who it's for: Working Pune IT engineers at Wipro Pune, Infosys Pune, TCS Pune, Tech Mahindra Pune, Capgemini Pune, Cognizant Pune, Accenture Pune, Persistent, BMC Software, Symantec, Veritas, ZS Associates, Citi Pune, JP Morgan Pune. Final-year COEP / VIT Pune / MIT WPU / Symbiosis / Bharati Vidyapeeth students wanting to start before campus placement.
Trade-off: Stay in Pune. No relocation cost. Same batches and same trainer panel as Bangalore on-campus. Same Placement Guarantee* terms on 8-month flagship. Same internship pipeline (founder-product paid internship from month 4).
Pune-to-Bangalore relocation (on-campus 8-month flagship)
Fee range: Rs 1,20,000 incl. 18% GST (programme fee only, accommodation extra)
Duration: 8 months on-campus + paid internship from month 4
Delivery: On-campus at HSR Sector 6 Bangalore + 24x7 real-hardware lab on-site and remote
Who it's for: Pune students wanting full immersion in the Bangalore tech ecosystem. Career-switchers wanting in-person trainer + peer access. Pune candidates targeting Bangalore-anchored cybersec roles (most product cos and GCCs hire heavier in Bangalore than in Pune).
Trade-off: Relocation cost: PG / hostel Rs 6,000-18,000 per month near campus (admissions coordinates intro - see /networkers-home-pg-hostel-near-hsr-layout/). Bangalore living cost is comparable to Pune. Trade-off is the relocation friction vs the in-person network density.
