KYS — Know Your Student

Mandatory Career Selection Strategy

The KYS engine is Al-Nafi's diagnostic backbone. Before you write a single line of Python or touch a model registry, we map your academic strengths, cognitive style, financial bandwidth, and geographic target — then lock you into the one certification domain where you have the highest probability of success.

Program Duration

The Program Ends When Your Degree Ends

Duration depends on which year you are in when you enrol. The earlier you start, the longer your CDT runs and the lighter your daily commitment.

Undergraduate

Year of EnrolmentCDT DurationDaily Time
1st Year48 months1 hour/day
2nd Year36 months1–2 hours/day
3rd Year24 months2–3 hours/day
4th Year12 months3–4 hours/day

Postgraduate

Year of EnrolmentCDT DurationDaily Time
1st Year24 months2–3 hours/day
2nd Year12 months3–4 hours/day
Fee Structure

Same Total Fee. Lower Monthly When You Start Early.

The total program fee is fixed regardless of the year you enrol — the duration shortens, so the same total is divided over fewer months. All fees include tax.

Fee Structure

ProgramYear of EnrolmentDurationTotal FeesPer-Month Fees
Undergraduate1st Year48 monthsUSD 1,700USD 35
Undergraduate2nd Year36 monthsUSD 1,700USD 47
Undergraduate3rd Year24 monthsUSD 1,700USD 71
Undergraduate4th Year12 monthsUSD 1,700USD 142
Postgraduate1st Year24 monthsUSD 1,700USD 71
Postgraduate2nd Year12 monthsUSD 1,700USD 142

Why does the monthly fee increase if you join later? The total stays the same, but a shorter duration means the same amount is divided over fewer months. Enrolling early gives you the most affordable monthly rate.
