What this actually is

What this is.
And what it isn't.

Engineering students, makers, and drone enthusiasts — no prior drone-building experience required.
01
Not a lecture series
You do
the work.

Nobody demonstrates while you watch. You solder every joint, wire every ESC, and configure ArduPilot from scratch — 30 hours of actual lab work across 5 days. On Day 5 you take it outdoors and fly what you built.

⚙️ 30 hrs hands-on
02
Not a rented conference room
IIT Hyderabad.
Real labs.

Research-grade soldering stations, Mission Planner workstations, Fusion CAD setups, and an outdoor flight field — all on campus. Five days immersed in one of India's top engineering research environments.

🏛️ IIT Hyderabad campus
03
Not a participation trophy
A credential
with weight.

The certificate comes from a defence drone manufacturer. The internship is a live project — agriculture mapping or aerial inspection — with real deliverables. The LOR is earned by top performers only, which is exactly what makes it mean something.

Not a training institute.
A drone company.

01
Defence-grade work
We build drones
for real operations.

Qoptars Private Limited is a defence drone manufacturer based at IIT Hyderabad Innovation Park. Our UAVs are used in defence, agriculture, and industrial applications across India — this isn't a side project.

02
Industry-led, not academic
Taught by people
who ship products.

The people running this workshop design, build, and deploy real drone systems — FPV, surveillance, VTOL, payload, and agriculture UAVs. What you learn here is what actually works in the field.

A real credential
Your certificate
means something.

Training certified by a defence drone manufacturer carries a different weight on a resume than a generic course provider. The internship that follows is on live Qoptars projects — not a simulation.

Engineering and BSc students, makers, and drone enthusiasts from any college. Zero prior drone or electronics experience needed — we start from physics fundamentals and take you through CAD, soldering, ArduPilot configuration, and outdoor GPS flight by Day 5.
Everything except travel and airport transport. Included: 5 nights shared accommodation at IIT Hyderabad International Guest House, breakfast + lunch + dinner daily, all drone components, tools, materials, training certificate, and 1-month remote internship.
Shared on-campus accommodation with other program participants. All 5 nights are included in your fee. You arrange your own travel to campus.
No — the drone stays with Qoptars as a production asset used in real industrial operations. You're building real hardware, not a souvenir. The build experience and skills you take home are far more valuable on a resume.
A 1-month remote internship* on a real Qoptars project — agriculture mapping, aerial inspection, or site surveying. You're in a cross-college team of 4–5 with a dedicated industry mentor. Roughly 10–15 hours per week with weekly deliverables and a final demo day.
Top performers across both the training week and internship month. Strictly performance-based — not guaranteed* — which is exactly what makes it carry real weight with employers.
