Bite-sized
8-minute micro-lessons
Every heavy topic — DBMS, OS, OOPs, DSA, aptitude — is broken into short lessons you can finish between two classes. No 4-hour video to schedule around.
Placement prep, gamified
Gamify your path
to success.
Placement prep breaks down when it's a 400-page PDF and a promise to start on Monday. CodeQuest splits it into eight-minute lessons and interactive quizzes, then keeps you coming back with streaks, XP and campus leaderboards — built for B.Tech students in India.

The gapThe material was never the problem.
The material was never the problem.
Staying with it was.
A student in a tier-2 or tier-3 college has more free content than any batch in history — and still walks into the first drive under-prepared. Libraries assume you'll self-schedule. Course bundles assume you can block two hours and afford the fee. Neither survives a semester of labs, vivas and hostel routines.
CodeQuest is built the other way round: make the smallest useful unit of prep impossible to skip, then make skipping it cost you something you care about — your streak, your XP and your place on the campus board.

What you get
A prep loop that's hard to put down
Six things do the work: short lessons, sharp quizzes, and a reward system that turns consistency into the default.
Active recall
Interactive quizzes, not passive reading
Each lesson ends in an adaptive quiz. Get it wrong and CodeQuest re-queues that concept in a few days, so weak spots actually get fixed.
Habit loop
Streaks and XP that make prep a habit
Daily quests, XP levels, freeze tokens and badges. The streak is the product: 20 focused minutes a day beats one panicked weekend before the drive.
Social
Campus leaderboards and duels
Climb your branch, hostel and college leaderboards, or challenge a batchmate to a timed duel on aptitude or SQL. Competition your friends can see.
Exam-ready
Placement-pattern mock tests
Full-length mocks that follow the shape of mass-recruiter tests: quant, logical, verbal, technical MCQs and coding — with sectional timers and rank feedback.
Analytics
Readiness score, topic by topic
One honest number per student, backed by topic-level heatmaps. You see exactly which chapters are dragging your placement readiness down.
What you'll learn
Five core subjects, in the order your syllabus meets them
Learn at your own pace — pick any subject that fits your current semester or placement stage. No forced path. A first-year warming up on DSA and a final-year sprinting through OS and Computer Networks can be on the same app, on completely different quests.

Semester order — a suggestion, not a lock
- 01
Data Structures & Algorithms
Usually sem 3–4
Arrays, strings, linked lists, stacks, trees, graphs, sorting, searching and dynamic programming — the subject that shows up in almost every placement test.
Arrays & stringsTrees & graphsDPComplexity - 02
DBMS
Usually sem 4–5
ER models, normalisation, transactions and indexing — paired with a language track so you write real queries and code, not just theory answers.
Language track included
SQL plus a coding language of your choice — practise queries and code side by side.
SQLPythonJavaC++ER & normalisationTransactionsIndexingJoins - 03
Theory of Computation
Usually sem 5
Finite automata, regular languages, context-free grammars, pushdown automata and Turing machines — made visual, so the proofs finally click.
AutomataRegular languagesCFGTuring machines - 04
Operating Systems
Usually sem 5–6
Processes and threads, CPU scheduling, deadlocks, memory management, paging and file systems — with the numerical practice interviews love to ask.
SchedulingDeadlocksPagingFile systems - 05
Computer Networks
Usually sem 6–7
The OSI and TCP/IP stacks, routing, TCP vs UDP, DNS, HTTP and network security basics — explained layer by layer instead of as a list to memorise.

How it works
Three steps, then just keep the streak
- 01
Set your target drive
Pick your branch, graduation year and the kind of role you're chasing. CodeQuest builds a day-by-day quest map from now to placement season.
- 02
Clear one quest a day
A lesson, a quiz and a challenge — around 20 minutes. Keep the streak alive, earn XP, unlock badges and climb the campus leaderboard.
- 03
Walk into the drive prepared
Weekly mocks, a live readiness score and interview-round drills mean nothing on test day is a surprise — for you or your placement cell.
Why CodeQuest
Where we sit next to the rest
The established players are genuinely good at what they do — deep libraries, big question banks, strong instructors. CodeQuest goes after what none of those formats fix: daily consistency, a student-budget price, and a placement cell that can see the whole batch.

For placement cells
We sell to the placement cell, not to 500 students one at a time
Placement outcomes are a college's headline number. CodeQuest gives the training & placement office a live view of batch readiness and gives every student premium access on day one — one decision instead of five hundred.
What a campus licence includes
- Premium for every student in the licensed batch
- Placement-cell dashboard with branch and section breakdowns
- Weekly readiness digest emailed to the TPO
- Bulk onboarding by roll number and a single campus code
- Season-aligned billing — pay for the semester that matters
A dashboard your TPO actually uses
Batch readiness at a glance, branch-wise heatmaps, students at risk of missing eligibility cut-offs, and weekly progress digests in the inbox.
Onboard the whole batch in a day
Bulk roll-number upload, section mapping and a single campus code. No student needs a card, an email chain or an IT ticket to get started.
Priced per seat, paid by the college
Placement cells license CodeQuest for the batch at a bulk seat rate; students get premium free. Students can also upgrade themselves if the college doesn't.
Built for tier-2 and tier-3 realities
Low-bandwidth lessons, regional-language glossaries for tough concepts, and content mapped to the recruiters that actually visit your campus.
Pricing
Priced like a student budget, not a bootcamp
Start free and stay free for as long as you like. Upgrade when placement season gets real — or get premium at no cost if your college licenses CodeQuest for your batch.

What people say
From the students and the cells backing them
Placeholder quotes from fictional early-access users — real ones land here after the first campus cohorts finish.
I'd downloaded four prep apps before this and opened none of them twice. The streak is what changed it — I've done 40 days straight because I didn't want to lose it.
Our batch's aptitude scores were the weak link every year. With the placement-cell dashboard I can finally see which sections are behind in week 2, not after the drive.
Twenty minutes between labs, and the quiz tells me straight away what I got wrong. It fits a hostel routine in a way a two-hour recorded class never did.
FAQ
Questions students and TPOs ask us first
Still unsure about something? Join the waitlist and reply to the welcome email — a human reads it.
Yes — the Explorer tier is free forever and includes a daily quest, quizzes, streaks and your campus leaderboard. Premium at ₹299/month unlocks the full track library, weekly mocks and readiness analytics. If your college licenses CodeQuest for the batch, you get Premium at no cost.
Placement cells license seats for a batch at a bulk rate and distribute a single campus code. Students activate Premium instantly, and the cell gets a dashboard with batch readiness, branch-wise heatmaps and weekly digests. Talk to us through the form on this page and we'll size a plan for your batch.
Quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, verbal ability, DSA, DBMS, operating systems, computer networks, OOPs and SQL — plus mock tests that follow mass-recruiter test patterns and drills for technical and HR interview rounds.
That's a design constraint, not an afterthought. Lessons are text-first and lightweight, quizzes work on slow connections, and the app is built to run comfortably on entry-level Android phones common on tier-2 and tier-3 campuses.
Most of them give you an excellent library and leave the discipline to you. CodeQuest turns prep into a daily loop — a short quest, an adaptive quiz, a streak worth protecting and a leaderboard your batchmates can see — and reports the result back to your placement cell.
We're onboarding campuses in batches ahead of the next placement season. Joining the waitlist reserves early access for you or your college and gets you an invite email when your batch opens. It costs nothing and you can leave at any time.
