    Total Waste of Money – A Complete Debt Trap

    Good start, weak finish. If you don’t clear mocks, you lose placement access. Company list is tiny and barely hires freshers. Feels more like a marketing trap than a career program. 
    I fell for it and have been jobless for a year. Total money trap.
