learner incentives under FutureSkills Prime, a flagship digital skilling
initiative by Nasscom and MeitY
New Delhi,
23rd October 2026: Education
company PhysicsWallah (PW) has partnered with Nasscom, seeking to align its
technology upskilling programs with recognised industry frameworks. The
collaboration will leverage the FutureSkills Prime platform, a digital skilling
ecosystem created under the aegis of the Ministry of Electronics and
Information Technology (MeitY) and Nasscom, to provide learners with
standardised, outcome-based tech skills alongside national credit recognition.
Under this
partnership, technology-related courses offered through PW's upskilling arms,
PW Skills and Earners, will be mapped to National Occupational Standards (NOS)
and listed on the FutureSkills Prime portal. Being NOS-aligned enables PW
Skills to offer eligible credit-worthy programs under the applicable
qualification and credit framework. Eligible learners completing these programs
will have access to an assessment-based certification pathway through
FutureSkills Prime, earning an official Nasscom certification alongside their
PW completion certificate.
Furthermore,
eligible students will have the opportunity to receive government learner
incentives of up to ₹5,000 or 50% of the course fee, whichever is lower,
subject to applicable scheme rules and assessment verification.
Satish
Sharma, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at PhysicsWallah (PW), said, “Today's tech landscape is evolving
rapidly, and students need more than just degrees. They need practical skills
that translate directly into careers. By partnering with Nasscom and aligning
with the Nasscom-MeitY’s FutureSkills Prime platform, we are bringing
Government-backed, industry-recognised upskilling directly to our learners.
Through this initiative, students gain both academic credit and job-ready
confidence.”
Dr.
Abhilasha Gaur, CEO, SSC Nasscom,
said, “India’s digital talent ambitions depend on building a strong,
industry-aligned skilling ecosystem that connects education with opportunities.
Our collaboration with PhysicsWallah is another step towards bridging the gap
between learning and industry requirements, making future-ready digital skills
more accessible to learners across the country. Through FutureSkills Prime, we
remain committed to strengthening India’s talent competitiveness and advancing
the vision of a Digital Talent Nation.” By aligning with NOS and offering
credit-worthy learning pathways, the PW & Nasscom collaboration offers
higher education institutions a seamless framework to integrate
industry-aligned technology skills directly into their academic offerings.
