Train on Apple's own Develop in Swift curriculum, guided by Apple Certified Trainers, hands-on in the Apple Lab and prepare for App Development with Swift certifications.
This is where a first-year student reached the global Top 350 of Apple's Swift Student Challenge 2026 without owning a Mac.
Curriculum, trainers and certifications are Apple's own, delivered on Parul University's campus.

Develop in Swift
Xcode - Hands-on AuthorisedThe Apple Authorized Training Center at Parul University is where students learn to design, build and ship software for Apple platforms. Learning follows Apple's Develop in Swift curriculum and runs through hands-on workshops, expert-led sessions and project-based work, turning ideas into real, working apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
The same structured curriculum Apple uses worldwide from first lines of code to shipping complete apps.
Sessions led by Apple Certified Trainers who guide students through real development workflows.
22 iMacs plus iPads, iPhones, MacBooks and an Apple TV - full Apple hardware to build, test and deploy, so you don't need to own a Mac.
Build a real portfolio and prepare for globally recognised App Development with Swift certifications.
Apple's Swift Student Challenge is a worldwide competition: students submit original app playgrounds built in Swift and SwiftUI, judged by Apple on creativity and technical execution. In 2026, Apple named 350 winners from 37 countries, the largest pool ever. One of them learned to code right here.
First-year, B.Tech, CSE
Starting from zero Swift knowledge, Praneel learned on Apple's curriculum through the Swift Coding Club, got hands-on in the Apple Lab, and built Blink Break, an eye-movement-controlled game in Swift and SwiftUI. The final month was 10 - 12 hour days. Total time from first line of code to a global Top-350 submission: roughly five months. He earned an official Apple certificate for the achievement.
