A Streaming Engineering Elective, Co-Branded With Your Institution

Partner with StreamKit Academy to bring industry-grade streaming media engineering — video player, ad tech, encoding and live webcast — to your students, taught by a 20+ year practitioner rather than a textbook.

Why This Fits a Placement-Linked Elective

Skills OTT/Broadcast Employers Actually Hire ForHLS/DASH, DRM, ad tech (SSAI/CSAI) and live broadcast are hard-to-hire-for skills at OTT platforms, broadcasters and ad tech companies.

Portfolio, Not Just GradesEvery module capstone is a working system students can show in interviews — a multi-DRM player, a live simulcast, an SSAI ad break.

Industry Practitioner, Not Adjunct-by-TitleInstructor is the creator of StreamKit SDK with 20+ years of production streaming engineering — not a course licensed from a generic content vendor.

Flexible FormatFull 5-module track or a single module, run as a co-branded elective, bootcamp week, or extracurricular certification track.

About StreamKit Academy

StreamKit Academy is built and taught by Sunil Kumar — creator of StreamKit SDK and a streaming media architect with 20+ years shipping production systems for OTT platforms, broadcasters and enterprise video. For an institution vetting a partner, that matters more than a faculty title: every module is taught by the practitioner who actually built these systems, currently active through StreamKit's consulting practice at streamkit.in — not a curriculum licensed from a content vendor and handed to an adjunct.

Frequently Asked Questions

Details are worked out per institution — cohort size, semester scheduling, co-branding, and whether it's credit-bearing or extracurricular. Start the conversation and we'll scope it together.

Yes — the modular structure (2–6 weeks per module) works as a compressed bootcamp as well as a semester-long elective.

Not yet finalized — campus partnership pricing is worked out per institution based on cohort size and format. Discuss it when you reach out.
