The fee, side by side

• To start — NaukriSala: ₹15,000, a one-time onboarding fee, collected only after your free demo.
• To start — Career Cracker: ₹15,000 (incl. GST), a one-time onboarding fee paid before classes begin, per its FAQ page.
• While you train — both: ₹0 more. NaukriSala charges nothing further during training; Career Cracker's terms state no further fee is due during the training period.
• After placement — NaukriSala: installments from your salary, due only after a verified offer letter. If you are never placed, you pay nothing beyond the ₹15,000 onboarding fee. Full fee terms are shared in writing before you enroll.
• After placement — Career Cracker: a salary-scaled fee, per its FAQ page: up to ₹8 LPA → ₹1,50,000; ₹8 LPA – ₹12 LPA → ₹2,00,000; above ₹12 LPA → ₹2,50,000 — split into two installments, the first within a few days of joining and the second from your first month's salary. Career Cracker also states you may enroll on the onboarding fee alone if you only want to upskill, with no placement fee and no placement obligations.

One genuine difference in transparency: Career Cracker publishes its placement-fee slabs; NaukriSala does not publish a slab table — its post-placement amount is confirmed in writing before enrolment.

How training works

• NaukriSala: 45 days — 30 days of teaching, then 15 days of interview preparation. A one-hour live class every day, 100% online, in interactive evening sessions with working professionals. Every live class is recorded, and every student gets the recording of each class. Capstone projects mirror day-one job tasks.
• Career Cracker: live, interactive online classes via Zoom and Google Meet, led by working professionals, with hands-on projects in every track. Its FAQ does not state a single programme length — duration depends on the track you choose. On completion you receive a training certificate along with an experience letter.

Placement support

• NaukriSala: resume overhaul, LinkedIn and Naukri profiles furnished, mock interviews, referrals arranged for you, and interviews arranged with HRs from its network — until you hold an offer letter. A live jobs board lists real openings matched to every track, each linking to the employer's own career page.
• Career Cracker: interview preparation, portfolio and project guidance, and introductions to its hiring network, with support continuing until you land a role.
• Hiring network, as each states it: NaukriSala — 500+ hiring companies; Career Cracker — 400+ hiring partners.

Courses

• NaukriSala: five course pages — AML & KYC Analyst (the flagship), ServiceNow, STOM, Data Science & AI, and Full Stack Python — across 15 career tracks in total.
• Career Cracker: IT tracks including STOM, ServiceNow, and Database & Business Intelligence, among others listed on its courses pages.

Batches and demos

• NaukriSala: Batch 9 starts 10 Nov 2026, with free demos from 3 Nov 2026. Book a free demo.
• Career Cracker: offers a free demo before you commit, per its FAQ page. This page does not quote its batch dates — check its site for the current schedule.

How to choose

On fees, the two models are near-identical: ₹15,000 to start, ₹0 during training, the main fee only after placement. The published differences are in the detail: Career Cracker publishes salary-scaled placement slabs and a certificate plus experience letter; NaukriSala publishes a fixed 45-day structure, recorded classes for every student, AI practice tools (AI Interview Coach, Resume Evaluator, Skill Gap, Apply Assistant) and a live jobs board. Before enrolling anywhere, ask both academies the same questions: the exact placement-fee terms in writing, what happens if you are not placed, who teaches, what the daily schedule is, and whether classes are recorded.
