What Is UpGrad School of Technology (SOT)?

UpGrad School of Technology is UpGrad's dedicated vertical for technology-focused degree and certification programs, run in partnership with university and industry collaborators. Enrollment happens through UpGrad's official landing page, and prospective learners are often guided there by a counsellor, who is linked to the application through a counsellor code embedded in the URL — along with any active coupon code, such as EXAM500 or OPTION500.

Because these codes are tied to a specific counsellor campaign, using the direct links above ensures your application is correctly linked and that the discount is applied automatically when you reach the payment step.

How to Apply Your UpGrad SOT Coupon Code: Step-by-Step

1

Choose EXAM500 or OPTION500 and click Apply Now

Use one of the buttons in the coupon box above. This opens sot.upgrad.com directly, with the coupon code and counsellor code already embedded in the link — nothing to copy-paste at this stage.

2

Check the URL loaded with your coupon attached

Look at the address bar — it should include couponCode=EXAM500 or couponCode=OPTION500. This confirms the discount is queued to apply once you reach checkout.

3

Fill in your enrollment enquiry form

Enter your name, email, and phone number on the SOT landing page. This creates your enrollment enquiry, linked to the counsellor code in the URL for follow-up support.

4

Select your program

Choose the specific UpGrad School of Technology program you're applying to. Your session should still carry the coupon code forward from the original link.

5

Confirm the coupon field at payment

When you reach the payment or fee-summary step, check for a "Coupon Code" or "Apply Coupon" field. If it hasn't auto-filled, manually type in EXAM500 or OPTION500 and click Apply, then confirm the updated total reflects the discount.

6

Complete payment and save your confirmation

Once payment is processed, save your enrollment confirmation email. Your assigned counsellor (linked via the counsellor code) will typically follow up with onboarding details.

Tips to Make Sure Your Coupon Applies Successfully

  • Enter the code exactly as shown — EXAM500 or OPTION500 — with no extra spaces or lowercase letters, to avoid a "coupon not valid" error.
  • Use the direct Apply Now links above rather than navigating to the SOT page separately, since the coupon and counsellor code are both carried in the URL.
  • Apply the coupon before finalizing payment — most enrollment systems won't retroactively apply a discount after payment is confirmed.
  • If the discount doesn't reflect on-screen, refresh the payment page and re-enter the code manually.
  • Keep a screenshot of the discounted fee summary in case you need to reference it with your counsellor or support later.

About These Coupon Codes

EXAM500 and OPTION500 are distributed through an authorized counsellor campaign (counsellor code 845260) on UpGrad's own enrollment domain, sot.upgrad.com. Since both links point directly to UpGrad's official page rather than a third-party site, your enquiry, program selection, and payment are all processed by UpGrad itself — the coupon only affects the fee shown at checkout.

We periodically verify both codes to confirm they're still active. Coupon availability on UpGrad's platform can change by program or intake, so if one code doesn't apply, it's worth trying the other before reaching out to your counsellor for the latest offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the UpGrad SOT coupon code EXAM500 or OPTION500 actually discount?

Both codes apply toward your UpGrad School of Technology program enrollment fee at checkout. The exact amount is shown once the code is applied on the payment page — always confirm the updated total on-screen before completing payment.

2. Can I use EXAM500 and OPTION500 together on the same enrollment?

No. Most coupon systems, including UpGrad's, allow only one active coupon per enrollment. Pick whichever code applies successfully for your program at checkout.

3. Do I need to speak to a counsellor first before using these codes?

No. The Apply Now links above already include the associated counsellor code, so the coupon is ready to use as soon as you begin your enrollment enquiry — a counsellor may still follow up afterward to assist you.

4. Why is my coupon code showing as invalid at checkout?

Double-check spelling and capitalization first. If it still fails, try the alternate code, or reopen the direct link above to make sure the coupon parameter reloads correctly before you proceed to payment.

5. Are EXAM500 and OPTION500 valid for all UpGrad School of Technology programs?

Coupon eligibility can vary by program and intake cycle. The discount amount and applicability will be confirmed automatically once you select your program and reach the fee summary page.

6. How long will these UpGrad SOT coupon codes stay active?

Coupon campaigns are usually tied to a specific intake window and can be rotated or discontinued by UpGrad without notice. If you're planning to enroll, it's best to apply the code as soon as you've made your decision.
