The camp in my opinion is not what it claims to be. People who are doing well in the camp are the ones who took matters in their own hand and started learning on their own.
Pros:
Practice sets were given often(There were 27 practice sets of all topics) which helped us form the practice for writing code for hooks without wasting time in thinking about the approach.
Community is good. MA’s are very helpful and will guide you in every situation. Taking the time out of their busy schedule. Very thankful to them.
Machine coding rounds were conducted. Which helped us speed up the process.
Revision sessions were conducted for people who couldn’t understand the lecture taken by Tanay. These sessions were taken by Akanksha.
Cons:
Redux was removed from course even though it is mentioned on the website. They say that redux is not important but it is, companies ideally want their candidates to know redux.
Tanay simply skims through a topic, does not go in depth inside any topic. An advice which he ironically gives in his youtube videos. He ignores any advanced questions asked in the session claiming he has not covered yet. Says he will teach later and does not cover that topic later.
We were forbidden to discuss anything that isn’t taught yet.Stopping the flow of knowledge. That means you can’t even use the community to discuss something new because they haven’t taught it yet.
MA’s(Ex-neoGrads) were discouraged from answering questions about topics that weren’t taught yet. They used to host sessions on hard topics that people didn’t understand in voice chats but were discouraged to do so.
Didn’t even cover the dependency array in useEffect hook. He just said you will keep it empty 90% of the time. useMemo and useCallback were not even mentioned. Forget about code optimizations. Honestly, you will learn more in a 30min youtube video than in their class.

I am from 2022 batch. The only good thing about the camp was community/people in it.
Rest only Cons.
Its been a year and i am still discovering and learning new things about React while on the job.
The depth was very shallow. Wasted my 35k which is worth just 500 udemy course.
Tanay, her sister and wife are making fool of all the people.
Its like we pay them money to watch their lifestyle. Aaj mein yaha gaya tha, maine ye khareeda, mera itna bada ghar, meri behen ko kisine phool diya aaj, i love my wife.
agree with you, they made it a family business
💯 💯 guy would joke about different stuff and avoid answering any detailed question
I joined Neog hoping to learn Advanced Full stack but LOL this whole bootcamp is a scam. They are only focussed on earning money. A simple 500rs Udemy course will teach you more than this Channa mereya drama. There has been 0 percent addition in my knowledge after joining NEOG because I already know basics I wanted to learn Advanced things.
No Lectures on memo and callback
No Redux
DSA lol (mentioned on the website)
Backend LMAO ( mentioned on the websit)
Industry Standard Coding - why is it even mentioned on the website.
I have no problem with Neog Do whatever you want. But please don't lie about your course. Just Mention it on your website that you will only teach basics. I regret that hard-earned money of my parents is wasted.
100% true, Even though I already knew many things including react, and TS but joined the camp to learn Advanced stuff and best practices.
Camp end hone ko hai, abhi tk Tanay ke muh se Vitual Dom, reconciliation, diff , react fiber enme se ek bhi word nahi suna maine.
35K floating in the water.
Tanay is himself responsible for romantisizing Bengaluru and creating major FOMO for people especially from Northern India.
This has happened 2-3 times where even before starting the lecture, he asks us to keep our expectations low since market conditions are worse and you should not expect above 3 - 5lpa.
Tanay is not even present in the camp much. He just comes to take lectures and has come twice/thrice in neoG server asking for project updates of students. He is busy with Invact and does not have the time.
For CSS only basics were covered that too not very well. Vikram sir taught us well but due to personal reasons he could not take more than two sessions, further classes were taken by Tanay. Advanced CSS mentioned on the website is nowhere to be seen.
None of the special guest sessions mentioned on the website has happened yet.
The roc-8 also tells you that don’t expect a package more than 5lpa. Also you get 5lpa if you are very good. They don’t force you to accept but they try to brainwash you by saying don’t compare yourself with someone else. Just get into the field and you will earn money eventually. Think long term.
Once someone asked Akanksha that they are facing some problem in CSS, they said you should ask other students if they are able to do it, which was funny because they haven’t even taught the basics properly for which students have paid. And instead of teaching students they are asking them to learn from others.
The whole strategy of neoG seems to be to get maximum people placed not caring about the students' caliber and if they can score a decent package or not. They are teaching you accordingly, not going in depth about any topic.
Interview practice is bogus as well. They covered closures/scope in 15 minutes max, they didn’t feel the need to go in depth and help us understand better.
Classes are scheduled for 3 - 3.5 hours, but are always finished in half the duration. Initially there were no classes on Saturday. Classes were held only on saturday for 2 months in the start and not on saturday and sunday.
Honestly you should join neoG only if you don’t know anything and have 35k to spend, which they have increased now. So, you’ll be paying 47500 including GST. You will honestly learn a lot more in an udemy course of react and JS which costs around 350-450. Be careful where you spend your money.
I can confirm this. I am a student myself. Nothing he teaches is to the point. Always just skips Important parts.
Exactly! Lost total interest when he started 3 lpa बुल्लशित
I was 2022 Neog and had a fight with Tanay when asked why postpone backed 😭
I really like Tanay's message/style tho.
All in all I am a better dev due to neog but realised that Neog is more of community than teaching.
No spoon feeding , community teaches you.
Seems to have gotten worse in 2023, I feel for you gang.
We have talked with many 2021 & 2022 grads. After listening to the things they used to learn and do, 2023 batch is just trash. Only running to fill their pockets.
true
Please Post this on Twitter GrapeVine team and save the innocent students from wasting 50k on this shit bootcamp.
100%
Seriously. I hope this truth reaches maximum students and they save their precious time and money.
This is the best review someone can give for upcoming batch. You'll have 3 days to ask for refund go once the camp starts. Please go for it. If you are working and have a salary of 4 lpa don't expect much for this so called bootcamp. Bo...
