Edureka

So, as a student who recently passed out from Masters of Computer Applications, I will be sharing my experience of this course. So, the thing is, during my last semester of the course, everyone was talking about being a MERN stack and/or Full Stack Developer and how it has been said that, these developers does get more opportunities for placements as compared to those who are only just a software developer.

So, I was looking on youtube to make myself familiar with it, and then I came across edureka’s advertisement for the same, coincidentally. (Well, the concept of recommendation, whatever you search for, you get recommendation on the basis of that)

Initially, I was reluctant to check this out, but I remember, I did had my concept cleared for a lot of stuffs, like for the lessons which I didn’t understand from university, I searched for the same on youtube, and the recommended video was from Edureka itself. So, I knew that, this is not some kind of company who takes your money and does not offer anything. And also, the ad said about the free demo class, so I attended it.

The demo class made me convince that, the instructor would be qualified and nice, they might have proper knowledge of what needs to taught in order to become a full stack developer and although, I do not directly believe people and always have the tendency to not trust, because you know first impression is not always the best and maybe they acted like nice and qualified just to get students and later on not giving care at all, but I didnt felt like that from Edureka and since I already mentioned, Edureka videos on youtube really cleared my concepts. So, I decided to take the course.

Now, coming to the course, I will not say the instructor was nice and all, but he knew a lot of stuffs and he was very practical in nature. Like you know, the man of few words, he was like that, he explained from the basic of html/css to the advanced topic of making your project live on netlify. Each and every topic was explained properly with live examples and he gave a lot of time to do the tasks, but one thing I will say, he don’t have people skills of showcasing formality and thats not the issue, because that’s better rather than giving false hope, he tends to say things on face, atleast for me. But sometimes, some might get disheartened and might not have the tendency to continue further. That needs to be taken care of.

Regarding the concept clearing, he expected everyone to refollow the recorded session, because after every lecture, the recorded session was made available to the students who are enrolled, and they can check it out anytime, they want. And if someone asked a query, he was able to determine who attended attentively and who didn’t, and that’s really nice. Because if you asked a question, and if the question was already answered in the previous session, he would have asked you to check the previous session. To be honest, by that you are able to review and make your concept clear and concise and that helps a lot, but sometimes while watching a 1 hour recorded session, you might miss a little thing and sometimes rewatching is not the solution, its better to clear the query, even if it has been cleared beforehand.

But for genuine queries, he takes time to explain every single thing again and again, and during the explanation time of a topic, he keeps on asking, if the students understood or not and if any student didn’t understand something on that topic, he explained it again and again to make it clear.

From time to time, while explaining, the instructor gave us insights on what kind of questions are asked in interviews and that further helped me to explore more on the topic, because I am keen to learn new things. And since, the instructor said this particular question might be asked, I searched on google to make myself clear on that. I have this weird tendency.

Now, for the conclusion, I am really happy that I took this course, I am a very practical person regarding education and jobs, and I got a practical instructor which helped me learn MERN stack which I never expected, I would be able to learn. I had a lot of doubts regarding basic HTML/CSS/JS as well, which were also cleared in a way as well. I am gonna not say, I am now professional and anything, but whatever I learned had allowed me to be more efficient software developer as compared to what was I before and now, due to this course, I am able to write on my linkedin that, I am a full stack developer, not just a software developer but a full stack developer cause maybe I may get complex projects, but I am able to google the same regarding the concept. Because, now I know what to search in terms of MERN stack development.

I will definitely recommend everyone to join this course and if your join this course, please have a practical approach and keep on working on assignments and everything and give your best. Because spoon-feeding concept never helps, you need to work on your own!!!

Really, Edureka staff (Sonal Jain) are awesome.
(Technical Consultant) was a great tutor and already knew my complaints and my fears about the course in R for data science assignment that I have been struggling with . I am so excited about the explanation. I have been watching YouTube and Google Search severally. I sincerely appreciate it. 
Sonal Jain gave me other insight on how to develop myself and have confidence in learning R. I can not wait to start studying the exercise and other sites . I always get a perfect response every time. Regards

If you want a study center with the best Learner management, that responds fast enough to allow you to manage your assignments and assessments very well then I will tell you it's the  Edureka learner Management. It makes things very easy for a student even providing study reminders to help you get motivated to study. Though I feel like the notification should be able to show even when you are not within the website all in all I would 100% recommend it. For the course, I can assure you that you get top-tier training that will come with assessments that judge your understanding you can't do them if you do not understand what you are doing which is an advantage as some courses online you can finish without knowing anything it teaches.

I was initially very happy with the course, the assignments and the tests. The mentors were great and most of them were always ready to help us with our doubts. However, the actual realisation occurred to me when I started appearing for interviews after the end of the course. The syllabus that they usually cover is just the foundational basics which you can easily get to know from any Udemy videos, rather you would find more in there. I, as well as most of my batchmates felt that we were in an ocean when we appeared for interviews. There are so many important things, algorithms, concepts etc asked in the interviews which were not covered in the syllabus. 
Secondly, the datasets that they use and provide us are just some excel sheets, whereas in the real companies, the sources of data are generally databases or other external data sources rather than some mere excel sheets. They didn't cover any deployment concepts, neither did they cover any pipelining concepts which are few of the important concepts that are asked in the interviews.
To conclude, I would suggest not to spend so much money (2-3 lacs) behind such foundational courses. In the name of the NIT, IIT and the fascinating degrees, it's just a complete fiasco.
