Question About RiseUp Waitlist Status

[GouthamiK783388]

Hello, I received an email saying that I have been placed on the waitlist for the next available RiseUp India Full-Time 2027 cohort.

Could you please let me know:

When is the next cohort likely to start?
What are the chances of getting selected from the waitlist?
If I remain on the waitlist, when might I be considered for the following cohort?
In your opinion, is this program worth waiting for in terms of career opportunities?

Hi @GouthamiK783388 

@Ankith Sharma  need inputs here.

I've check the Registration form to see the schedule for India and it looks like this cohort might be the last for 2026 as only 2027 is in the available options.

Except servicenow adds more schedule in the next few months.

Hello.

I'm not certain when the next cohort will start. But you should take the Welcome to ServiceNow course and micro certification on ServiceNow University. It's a prerequisite.

I was on a similar waitlist for EMEA full-time after I applied but eventually got seated for the program in Jan 2026. It simply means the next Indian Full-time Cohort will be in 2027 and if you got that email, you're most definitely going to be seated for the program provided you meet the requirements listed.

While you wait, you can complete the 'Welcome to ServiceNow' course and the related Micro-cert, and get familiar with the platform/eco-system because it's worth it.  All the best.
