Dijkstra is a community-driven, open-source platform aimed at bridging the skill and opportunity gap for students from Tier-2 and Tier-3 colleges in India. We empower Computer Science enthusiasts to become industry-ready through:
- 🎓 A student-led open-source community fostering mentorship, learning, and growth.
- 📚 Curated paths for mastering CS fundamentals, development skills, and soft skills.
- 💻 Real-world project experience via collaborative app and platform development.
Whether you're interested in learning, contributing, or just exploring, Dijkstra is the platform for you.
"Run by students, for students."

📊 Visibility
Track your progress across all platforms — GitHub, LinkedIn, LeetCode, Codeforces, etc. See yourself level up in terms of skills, validated by Proof of Work, to prepare for jobs around the world. -
🛠️ Develop Skills
Improve your DSA, Software Engineering, and Systems Design holistically through a variety of tasks within Dijkstra. Whether it’s code contributions, writing articles, sharing new approaches, or leading projects — it’s all about developing into a globally competitive software developer. -
✅ Proof of Work
Dijkstra is your platform to track overall developer growth, tied to visible outputs (GitHub commits, LeetCode stats, LinkedIn activity). The goal is to gamify your growth and help you plan your journey effectively. -
🎯 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Projects aren’t just for GitHub. A good project could become a conference paper. A solid LinkedIn post could be added to your resume. Dijkstra helps connect the dots to maximize your output with smarter planning. -
🌍 Community
Give back by writing articles, contributing code, and helping others — in turn, boosting your credibility and visibility in the tech ecosystem. -
🔁 One Thing Leads to Another
Every action you take — internships, articles, papers — creates leverage for future opportunities. Dijkstra helps make sure your efforts lead somewhere bigger and better.
