I am planning to take the course. After speaking to a few alumni peeps and after finding this thread below, I am keen on joining. Seems decent.

But I also saw few posts that are not helping me encourage to take this forward. Can I get some honest reviews about this? Preferably by someone who has themselves done the program or has talked to such learners closely.
Just tap on the username of these commenters. All new profiles.
Don’t take their word. I don’t see any value in these courses.
I was trying to get into PM roles on my own for longtime, I was getting shortlisted at some places but keep getting rejections. Post zirp, there were no shortlists coming from applying myself but I really wanted to switch so I joined Upraised.
My experience
Learning
The learning and interview prep are one of the best highlights for me. Earlier, I used to structures the answers wierdly and I have not done any mocks as well. TBH, I am a person who needs some handholding and Upraised does a good job here.
Placements
Yes, I have seen and heard from other cohort mates, the shortlists have reduced and not many good companies are coming. But I got shortlisted for companies like Razorpay and Jar, couldn't clear the interview though. Finally got an offer from B2B SaaS company. I think it's more about job market and your profile fitment.
IMO, if you are someone who has been trying to get into PM roles and are struggling, you should definitely think about Upraised. Yes, I agree you can learn content from internet and practice with friends but TBH it won't work for most people as PM role is a very complex role and peer learning and mentoring is most effective here.
They are one LinkedIn post away from being classified a Scam.
I was part of their Program (H2 of 2022), sharing my honest review.
Not even 10% of my batchmates got Shortlists. Forget placements, I speak about bare minimum shortlists. https://share.gvine.app/wjmRuDc6Vpwb6bs5A
Avoid, not worth spending 1.95 lacs.
It's 2.5 lacs now, the fact that people are shelling out that kind of money speaks volumes about our gullible nature.
Was part of their July-Oct cohort last year, did not get a single shortlist through them, got an opportunity outside and took it.
Got laid off and reached out to their founder, got ignored.
Mock interviews were helpful, the course itself, not so much.
They have copied things word for word from the book "Tech Simplified" by Deepak Singh.
The quora thread seems pretty genuine. IMO.
I also checked the founders profile, seems pretty legit.
All responses are by employees or referrals by the 9-10 people who got placed in their 3-4 years of existence.
Good work, marketing team, commenting here with the 2 grapes you have earned on this fake review by your teammates.
The reviews are either by employees or paid for, by people who get referrals for bringing others in. It is a lie that their placements are not good because of the market. They exist from 2019 or 2020, they take 7p people every month, why do they market the same 8-10 people repeatedly?
Try NextLeap, it’s way more affordable
They have curated good content, but similar content can be found online. Very few live interactions happen and people who take these classes hardly have any experience.
If you have 0-3 years of experience and have an engineering/MBA degree, you may get placed. Again, this has less to do with the course and more with what companies look for at APM level.
Still if you feel such a course could help you, join a cheaper one. There are many in the market. Paying 2 lacs+ is not even close to worth it.
Would recommend joining a free course on Swayam run by IIM B.

Has anyone enrolled for any course on the great learning academy? Could you please share feedback on if it is worth it.
Been hearing a lot of chatter about how GrowthX isn’t as great as its advertised. Any truth to that? Is it really worth to pay that kind of money for a 8 week course and just for community?
Has anyone taken up courses from Simplilearn. I am thinking to take up a course in Business Analyst from Simplilearn.
