Pricing & plans
One price per tier. Every stream. Everything included.
Nine certifications, three streams, three tiers — and a single fee per tier that covers the full 7-asset modules, the graded practical lab exam, the A0 blueprint and a career plan. No upsells, no locked chapters.

The full 7-asset system, in every module you pay for.
Why the price is fair
Priced alongside official training — built better.
RKR's advanced tracks sit in the same bracket as official vendor courses, because they do more. Everything is built and broken on real home labs, hardened across cohorts and live deployments, and taught to build-and-operate depth — not just enough to pass a multiple-choice exam.
Official-training figures are indicative market ranges for comparable instructor-led vendor courses; exam fees are usually additional. RKR is independent and not affiliated with any vendor.
Built on real home labs
Every lab runs on real topologies we've built, broken and rebuilt — not vendor slideware or read-only sims.
Battle-tested content
Hardened across cohorts and live deployments, tuned to what interviews and the job actually demand.
Deeper than the exam
Build-and-operate depth — RoCEv2, EVPN-VXLAN, Zero Trust, GPU fabrics — not just enough to pass an MCQ.
Comparable rigor, Indian pricing
Official-grade depth with a graded practical lab exam, lifetime content updates, and EMI options.
Beyond individual certifications
Two more ways to train with RKR.
Questions, answered
Pricing FAQ
Is the price the same for every stream?
Yes. Pricing is set per tier, not per stream — an Associate certification costs the same whether you choose Wireless, DataCenter or Security. Pick the stream, the tier sets the price.
What exactly is included in the fee?
Everything the certification ships: every module with the full 7-asset system (Study Guide, Lab Guide, Command Guide, Glossary, Solution Guide, Verification, and the 5-part Workbook), the graded two-part exam (theory + remote-proctored practical lab), the printable A0 certification blueprint, the tier's career plan with salary ladder, and your digital badge and verifiable certificate on passing.
Are there prerequisites?
Associate certifications have no prerequisite. Each Professional certification requires the Associate credential of its stream, and each Expert certification requires the Professional. The ladder is deliberate — every tier assumes the lab fluency of the one below it.
How do payments work?
Payments are processed securely through Razorpay (currently running in test mode — no real money moves). UPI, cards and netbanking are supported at checkout. You'll need an RKR account; if you're not signed in, the enrol button takes you to login first.
What's the difference between self-paced and fast-track?
The syllabus, labs, graded practical exam and certificate are identical — only the delivery differs. Self-paced lets you learn on your own schedule with async mentor and community support, and is priced about 30% below fast-track. Fast-track is a live, instructor-led cohort with a fixed timeline, weekly mentor sessions, cohort deadlines and career support, so you're job-ready in weeks.
Who is the Student 2-Year Programme for, and what does it include?
It's a campus-to-career pathway for students and fresh graduates. Over two years you complete a full stream ladder (Associate → Professional → Expert), the 40-module AI-Readiness Curriculum, and campus-as-living-lab capstone projects, with placement and hiring-partner support throughout. It's ₹2,99,999 total with EMI options from ₹12,999/month — a substantial discount versus buying the full stream ladder à la carte — apply or talk to an advisor to get started.
How is the AI-Readiness Curriculum priced?
The 40-module curriculum is a separate foundational offering from the certifications on this page. Explore the four tracks on the curriculum page, or contact us for cohort and enterprise arrangements.
Do you offer team, enterprise or campus pricing?
Yes — universities, colleges and employers can license streams or the full curriculum for cohorts, with instructor enablement and lab infrastructure included. See the Enterprise page or get in touch for a tailored proposal.
Checkout is processed by Razorpay and is currently in test mode — no real money is charged. UPI, cards and netbanking supported.
RKR certifications are RKR-owned. Vendor names (Cisco, Aruba, Juniper) indicate comparability of rigor only — RKR is not affiliated with or endorsed by any vendor.
Salary bands and career ladders are indicative market ranges from our research — not guarantees of placement or pay.
