The Selection Piscine
The last step in the application process is the Selection Piscine. The word Piscine means “swimming pool” in French. The idea is that everyone learns how to swim by immediately jumping into the water; we are applying the same theory to programming,
During the Selection Piscine, ‘Pisciners’ (candidates, you!) will dive into the world of coding. By working through challenging projects and solving daily assignments alongside your peers, you are given the opportunity to figure out if ITE’s peer-to-peer learning method suits you,
The Selection Piscines take place every summer. It is an immersive program with the mission to bring you, together with over a hundred other candidates to ITE to spend four weeks, seven days a week, day and night (including weekends) coding your heart out, After the selection month, ITE carefully evaluates each candidate to determine if they are a good match for the ITE curriculum. There is no way to prepare for a Piscine. We only recommended that you get plenty of rest beforehand and be ready to interact and learn a lot! Cooperation and enthusiasm are two of the critical factors that will help you make it through the Selection Piscine. It is crucial to know that the Piscine is by no means a competition.

Why do the Selection Piscine?
ITE India’s most important part of the application process is the Selection Piscine. And it’s pretty special because it is unique in the Netherlands. A lot of applicants that start the Selection Piscine are not quite sure of what to expect.
During the Selection Month, Piscines' learn in one month whether they enjoy software engineering or not, without being attached to anything.
