We don’t teach for interviews

We teach you how to build

We’re a dev-first company

Companies love ship-ready devs

Soft Skills matter

Clear code, docs, and thought

Develop Engineering Rigor

Real-world discipline, not tutorial-driven fluff.

Machine Coding Rounds (MCRs)

Machine Coding Rounds (MCRs)

What is an MCR?

An MCR (Machine Coding Round) is conducted after the completion of each major module in the program. You are given a real-world feature or product to build in a limited time window, with clearly defined: - Problem Statement - Functional Requirements - Test Cases or Edge Conditions These are built to simulate: - Company-level assignments - Feature tickets in a sprint - Take-home tasks for hiring

How It Works

Step

MCR Brief is Released

Time-Boxed Coding

(2–4 Hours)

Automated + Manual Evaluation

Structured Feedback Given

Description

Problem is posted on Discord or classroom platform includes specs, time limits, and user stories.

You build the solution on your local/dev environment and push the code to GitHub.

We use scripts to test functionality + mentors check code quality, logic, and clarity.

You receive a rubric-based report: code correctness, structure, naming, modularity, and performance.

What We Test in an MCR

Tech Stack Mastery - Can you build a working feature with the concepts you just learned? Problem Solving - Can you translate pointers into working features? - Do you structure conditions and flows correctly? Engineering Discipline - Is your code readable, maintainable, and modular? - Are you handling errors, edge cases, and defaults?

What Makes MCRs Special at neoG?

Code is never judged just on output - Your thinking, code structure, and delivery matter more than copy-pasting a solution. Mentor Comments are Line-by-Line - We don’t give vague feedback. You’ll get precise “refactor this,” “wrong assumption here,” “better pattern here.” Each MCR is a Build Confidence Boost - After every MCR, students feel closer to being ready for the real job world

Why MCRs are Critical to Placement Readiness

Most students fear interviews because they’ve never built under time pressure with clear constraints. MCRs bridge that gap — by creating controlled, high-intensity environments that train you to ship code fast, and right. By the end of the program, you’ll have: - 20+ completed MCRs across the stack - A record of performance growth - Real GitHub history to show recruiters - Confidence to take on company test rounds

Mentor Code Reviews (Human Eyes on Code)

Mentor Code Reviews (Human Eyes on Code)

Machines can lint your code. Humans judge your engineering decisions.

Every major feature, assignment, and project gets mentor-reviewed.


You get:

  • Line-by-line feedback on logic, performance, structure

  • Error Detection

  • Workability of apps

Interview Preparation — The Final Layer of Confidence

Technical Interviewing

Project Deep Dives - You’re asked to explain what you’ve built. We train you to: - Build understanding on all the concepts asked in the video - Talk about when and how to use that in codebase - Talk about your projects and its functionalities - Mention learnings and mistakes Live Whiteboarding Sessions - Practice real-time thinking — under constraints: - Solve real-time bugs - Integrate AI techniques for better functioning apps - Talk and code simultaneously.

Mock Interview Rounds

We simulate the real thing — down to the pressure, silence, and follow-ups. Technical Mock Interviews - Conducted by mentors, alumni, or industry engineers. - Real-time feedback after each round. - Focused on clarity of communication, thought process, and problem-solving approach. HR Mock Interviews - Simulate startup vs corporate style conversations. - Training to avoid over-answering or under-explaining. - Personal coaching on confidence, pace, and articulation.
