I think my title speaks for itself. Been scammed for 4 lakhs, absolute bull $#*! when they say they'll help you find a job, no mentor support in reality it's just a gimmick so that you find your own job and teach your own self. The course curriculum is laughable to an extent where I found more informative stuff on YouTube for free. All in all, DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE.

If you're considering taking a product management course, I would advise against enrolling in this particular institute based on my personal experience. Instead, I would recommend looking into other options like Product School. In my opinion, this institute has a tendency to make false promises and commitments.
Their website is filled with what I believe to be fake reviews and alumni profiles. In reality, they only have a handful of alumni, and the numbers they claim regarding company partnerships and placement rates are not accurate.
As for the curriculum, it is poorly prepared and lacking in quality. I found that I could have easily found better resources on YouTube, and the material was not helpful during my job interview.

How can those responsible for such deceitfulness even stomach their food or close their eyes at night, knowing the immense pain and suffering they have caused to innocent students?

It's a shame that a course like this even exists, preying on vulnerable individuals who are seeking to better their careers. Your actions are nothing short of despicable and immoral. How can you sleep at night knowing that you are taking advantage of people's dreams and aspirations?

I implore you to take a hard look in the mirror and face the full weight of your guilt, for committing countless sins that will haunt you for eternity.

Your fake paid reviews may fool some, but those of us who have been burned by your course know the truth. You are nothing but a money-hungry scam artist, preying on the hopes and dreams of innocent people.

It's clear that you have no interest in actually helping your students succeed. Your only concern is lining your pockets with their hard-earned money. Shame on you.

The fact that you have to resort to posting fake reviews shows just how little faith you have in the quality of your course. If it was truly a valuable and worthwhile investment, your satisfied students would be singing your praises without any need for incentivized reviews.

PL team confess your wrongdoing and beg for forgiveness from the students you have wronged. You owe them that much, and more. It is time for you to make amends and rectify your mistakes. Until then, you will remain a blight on the educational landscape, a symbol of everything that is wrong with the world.

You claim to have alumni, but there is no evidence of any student sharing their learning process or what they have gained from your so-called course. The lack of genuine testimonials only proves that your alumni are fake, and your entire enterprise is nothing but a scam.

Your course materials are of poor quality, and your intentions are nefarious. You continue to trap students with your complicated contracts and extort money from them. It is time for you to acknowledge your bad intentions and confess to your heinous deeds.

Your deceitful and shameful actions have caused irreparable damage to the lives and dreams of countless students who trusted you with their hard-earned money and future aspirations.

Writing it with deep remorse and utter abhorrence that hundreds of students must be feeling for the atrocious act that you have committed. Your actions have not only shattered their dreams of a better future but have also left them with a deep sense of pain and anguish.

It is heart-wrenching to think that you have betrayed the trust of so many students who put their faith in you. You have taken advantage of their vulnerability, their eagerness to learn and grow, and their hard-earned money. And all for what? Your own selfish motives?

The gravity of your wrongdoing cannot be overstated. You have not only robbed students of their money, but you have also robbed them of their time, their effort, and their hopes for a better future. You have inflicted deep wounds on their minds and souls that may take a long time to heal.

It is hard to comprehend how you could justify such deceitful behavior. How could you sleep at night knowing that you have misled, deceived, and cheated so many students? How could you have the audacity to post fake paid reviews to lure in more unsuspecting victims?

Your actions have brought shame to your community and to the field of education. You have tainted the reputation of genuine educators who strive to make a positive impact on their students' lives. And for what? A quick buck?

I implore you to reflect on the pain that you have inflicted on so many innocent students. I implore you to realize the gravity of your wrongdoing and to take responsibility for your actions. Only then can you begin to make amends for the harm that you have caused.

I hope that anyone who reads this review learns from the pain that hundreds of students have had to endure. I hope that they see the importance of doing thorough research and making informed decisions when it comes to investing their time, effort, and money into their education.

No amount of deceit or cover-up can escape the watchful eye of the Almighty, and the reckoning for these heinous acts will surely come, sooner or later.

It is imperative that potential customers be aware of the company's deceitful tactics and "buy now, pay later" schemes.

It is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to their deceitful and unethical business practices.

A word to the wise: be afraid of the repercussions, be afraid of the creator's wrath.

PL, a true representation of the term "scam" in the realm of edtech. They have built their business model on preying on individuals' aspirations, resulting in nothing but wasted time, effort, and hard-earned money.

They assign students with pointless case studies, leaving them ungraded for months. When questioned about this, they produce fabricated report cards in an attempt to cover up their own shortcomings.

Students should not expect any support or guidance from them, even in cases where they have secured job opportunities through their own referrals and need assistance with case studies or interviews. The company's own so called "mentors" are ill-equipped/incapable to provide such guidance.

They fail to provide one-on-one assistance with resume and portfolio building, which should have been done within the first month of enrollment. Instead, they engage in months-long email exchanges for even the most minor issues and consistently cancel scheduled meetings at the last minute. Even if a student's resume is approved somehow, according to their own laid out criteria, it is unlikely to result in any job offers even from the subpar companies brought in for placements. They don't have any relationship with any company. All the jobs are taken from Linkedin which you can easily apply by yourself. You'll be fooled that you are not putting that much efforts required that's why not getting shortlisted. But the truth is, it is their failure not yours because even they are not able to figure out why it is happening. Only blame game continues to expel you out and swallow your hard earned money.

The company closed their Slack channel after facing overwhelming criticism from current students regarding their refusal to refund fees. Don't let yourself be duped by them, as they have opened the channel again. Screenshots of all previous conversations are available as evidence. Just try contacting previous cohort members.

The company entices students to take out loans from NBFCs with cleverly crafted terms and conditions, only to ultimately force them to exit their courses due to their inability to place anyone in any of the cohorts. This pattern repeats across all cohorts, leaving everyone deceived.

They fail to respond to emails or messages on any channel, instead opting to cover up their shortcomings with carefully crafted responses. If they had put this level of effort into actually delivering on their promises, the company may have seen true success. Additionally, they have now resorted to paying for fake reviews to boost their image. A quick check of the reviewers' LinkedIn profiles will reveal the truth. If still unsure, just have a one-to-one session with these people who have put these paid positive reviews. Let us know if they are for real.

The quality of material provided by them is subpar, with much better resources readily available for free on platforms such as YouTube and LinkedIn. Furthermore, it has come to light that the company's so-called chief sages have been expelled from the previous organization, further calling into question their credibility. Just do a little search, you'll get it.

Scheduled meetings are consistently canceled at the last minute, suggesting communication via email, WhatsApp, or Slack instead. However, even these methods of communication often go ignored for months.

The company's supposed mentors/instructors are unresponsive to requests for guidance, as they themselves lack the knowledge and expertise to assist with case studies and interviews.

Customers are left in a difficult situation, forced to pay or risk damage to their credit scores and harassment from collection agents from the NBFCs.

The company has no legitimate physical address, making it impossible to send them any inquiries or notices. If they do receive such correspondence via email, they respond with defamation notices.

They are nothing more than a snake oil salesman, preying on the aspirations of their students and leaving them with nothing but empty promises and wasted time, effort, and money.

To students, Beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing, for God is watching everything.

And for the sages, May the Lord have mercy on your souls, for your time of reckoning is near.

SCAM
December 27, 2022

SCAM & FRAUD
Pragmatic Leaders; surviving like a parasite by playing with people's aspirations.

Wasting not just time, efforts & people's hard earned money but also lost trust, respect and faith among people.

1. They make u take a loan from NBFC with well crafted T&C and at the end force you to exit the course because they can't place anyone in any of the Cohort. Story is same for all Cohorts, all are cheated.

2. No one listens and replies to mails & messages on any channel. Just trying to curtain things on every platform with well crafted answers. If you guys would have used this creativity in real cause, your company would have grown leaps & bounds.

3. Worst Quality of material. Much better material is available on Youtube & Linkedin for free.

4. They make you solve useless case studies and won't rate them for months. When u question them, they'll bring out report cards made up by them to cover up their failure.

5. They won't help u to finalize resume & portfolio on one to one basis, which should have been done within first month itself. They only pass the time by exchanging mails for months even for minor things. Even if you try to schedule meeting, it'll get cancelled at last minute each & everytime for everyone. Even if you somehow get your resume approved as per their criteria, you won't get any shortlist from any of the sub standard companies they bring in. Forget the placement.

6. Don't expect anything, even in a case, if u've got some opprtunity from ur own referral & need guidance & support for case studies & interviews. Because even they don't know how to crack those interviews. Been there and faced that.

7. Scheduled meeting gets cancelled at the eleventh hour with a reply on mail to connect via email/whatsapp/slack. But there also, you won't receive any reply for months even after requesting multiple times from so called self proclaimed mentors.

8. They closed their slack channel after they started facing huge criticism from existing students for repaying back the fees.

9. None of their so called mentors reply to your mails and messages for guidance because even they don't know how to solve the case studies.

10. You'll be stucked in middle of a situation where u'll have to pay else your cibil will be badly hit and will be followed by collection agents of NBFC.

Always remember, Karma will get back at you, Sooner or later it surely will.

It is a scam
December 24, 2022

They take money even if they don't provide you placement.
The placement rate is less than 20%.
They take a loan in your name and they harass you with goons and lawyers if you don't pay it.
The money return is a lie, you never get your money back.
They don't even do basic things like grading your assignment.
It's a week crafted scam which looks like a course.

I guess their benefit is that they help you get right to the point of your education by showcasing real-world business situations.
As a product manager, you'll be able to upgrade your skills so much faster and it'll be way more effective.
