Deliverable: Three months of GST-applicable transactions recorded in Tally with correct treatment, ending in prepared GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data you can walk through line by line.
Course
GST Practitioner

Placement assistance
Every student gets placement assistance — that is what 100% placement assistance means. It is support for all, not a job for all. We do not promise a specific salary, a specific number of interviews, or placement at any named company, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
What is included
- A place in the monthly placement drive, held every third Saturday
- The readiness programme every second Saturday — mock interviews and preparation
- CV review against the specific roles you are targeting
- Portfolio review, so your project work is presented the way a reviewer will read it
- Access to the vacancy pool employers send directly to the Samyak network
- Guidance on which roles realistically fit your background and which do not
- A place in the next drive, with coaching, if you are not selected in this one
What is not included
- Any guarantee of a job, an interview, or a particular salary
- Placement at a named or partner company
- Applying to jobs on your behalf
- Support before you have completed the course and its project work
- Visa, relocation or overseas placement assistance
The job is reconciliation, not memorisation
Most GST training is a rules recital. Rates, sections, due dates, delivered as material to remember.
The actual work is different. Your books say you are owed a certain amount of input credit. The portal says something else. Nobody tells you which is right or where the difference came from, and there is a deadline.
Tracing that mismatch — by period, then by supplier, then to a specific invoice — is the skill that gets someone trusted with the return cycle. It is what this course is built around, and it is why the reconciliation module is the longest.
Why credit mismatches matter more than rates
A wrong rate is usually caught and corrected. A credit claimed that never appears in GSTR-2B is a liability that sits quietly until a notice arrives, often months later, with interest attached.
The cause is almost always upstream — a supplier who has not filed, or filed against the wrong GSTIN. Finding it early means a phone call. Finding it after a notice means a reversal, interest, and an awkward conversation with whoever approved the payment.
Module three and module five exist for exactly this, and the reconciliation project makes you do it end to end.
A note on what changes
GST rates get revised. Return formats are updated. Filing procedures evolve.
What has been stable is the underlying structure — how place of supply determines the tax, what conditions attach to input credit, why reverse charge exists, and how reconciliation works. That is what we teach, because it is what remains true.
Whatever you learn here, check current rates and formats against the GST portal before filing. Any course that implies its material is permanently current is selling you something it cannot deliver.
Questions
GST Practitioner — frequently asked questions
Do I need to know Tally before taking a GST course?
It helps considerably, since most GST work in Indian SMEs happens inside Tally. This course covers the GST configuration and entries you need, but if you are starting from nothing, taking Tally Prime first and this alongside or afterwards is the smoother sequence. Tell us your background and we will suggest an order.
Will this let me file returns for clients as a GST practitioner?
It gives you the technical capability to prepare and reconcile return data, which is the substantive part of the work. Formal enrolment as a GST Practitioner has its own eligibility and examination requirements set by the authorities, which are separate from any course. We do not claim to grant that status.
GST rules keep changing. Will what I learn go out of date?
Rates, formats and procedures change; the structure does not. Place of supply logic, input tax credit conditions and reconciliation method have been stable since implementation and are what this course concentrates on. Always check current rates and formats against the GST portal before filing, whatever any course taught you.
Is two months enough for GST?
For the substantive work, yes — the tax logic and the reconciliation method are learnable in that time with consistent practice. What takes longer is exposure to unusual cases, and that comes from doing the job. The course is built to make you competent and appropriately cautious rather than to claim completeness.
