A very common question which I have been receiving lately is upgrad worth it?
I will help you with this query of yours. Almost about 3 months ago I had enrolled in their data science program and there are major drawbacks which created doubts in my head whether is upgrad worth it? as I feel they are playing with the student’s time and money The institute mentions that they conduct live classes, but it is not continued for the whole training. And only a certain amount of sessions like for instance, out of 300 hours only 100 hours are dedicated for live sessions. The rest of them are mostly pre-recorded videos. Some fundamentals courses or training from Upgrad consist only of recorded videos and apart from their data science program some of the Master, MBA, and data analytics courses are expensive and are not suitable for working professionals.
The course fee is quite high, and even after paying that amount, there is no assurance that you will get a job after course completion. For those who don’t meet the criteria to avail of the assured job opportunity, there is no provision to claim a refund on the fees paid or any other kind of adjustment for the lost opportunity. After analyzing my reviews do you still feel is upgrad worth it?
Definitely No! You can find far more better options than UpGrad like Scalar, Udemy, Intellipath, DataTrained etc.

Almost 2 years back, I have held the position of a trainer at Besant Technologies, utilising my expertise and experience in the field. It has come to my attention that the institution charges students a fee ranging from 15 to 20k, but informs trainers that they have received only 10k, and offers a mere 35% of this amount, equivalent to 3.5k, as payment.
In addition, should we refuse to conduct classes under such unfavourable conditions, the institution resorts to compromising tactics by making false promises of two students in a single batch, thereby enticing trainers with an additional payment of 7000. However, once classes commence, only one student is present and excuses are provided for the absence of the promised second student. This manipulative behaviour is primarily exhibited by individuals such as Bala, Mahesh, Vivek, Muthu, Maruthu and Udhay. Of these individuals, Mahesh stands out as the worst offender due to his tendency to abruptly terminate calls without never calling back.
