Compare the qualification, curriculum, projects, trainer access, total fees and attachment support.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"nit-faq__item\">\n          <summary>Which is the best software-development school in Kenya?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"nit-faq__answer\"><p>There is no single best school for every learner. The right choice matches your target qualification, budget, schedule and career goal. Prefer current curriculum, assessed projects, code review, transparent fees and verifiable registration over marketing claims.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"nit-faq__item\">\n          <summary>What is the difference between software development and software engineering?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"nit-faq__answer\"><p>Software development focuses on building and maintaining applications. Software engineering applies broader engineering methods to requirements, architecture, testing, reliability and team delivery. Course titles overlap, so compare the modules.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"nit-faq__item\">\n          <summary>Can I study software development at NIT with a KCSE grade of D+ or D?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"nit-faq__answer\"><p>NIT states that D or D+ applicants may be considered for its practical Mobile App Development pathway. Entry requirements differ by programme and intake, so obtain written confirmation from Admissions before paying. Full-Stack is beginner friendly, but Admissions should confirm your eligibility.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"nit-faq__item\">\n          <summary>Do I need a computer-science background to enrol at NIT?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"nit-faq__answer\"><p>No previous computer-science background is required for the beginner pathways described here. Training starts with foundations before moving to frameworks, databases, APIs, testing and deployment.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"nit-faq__item\">\n          <summary>Does NIT teach Python in the Full-Stack course?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"nit-faq__answer\"><p>The published Full-Stack pathway centres on JavaScript technologies, including React and Node.js. Ask Admissions for the current module list if Python is essential to your goal.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"nit-faq__item\">\n          <summary>Is industrial attachment guaranteed when studying at NIT?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"nit-faq__answer\"><p>NIT arranges attachment opportunities for eligible students who complete institutional training and meet placement requirements.
