I took Gen AI sessions from IK, but for various reasons had to miss some sessions. Their operations went out of the way to ensure I resume in a subsequent cohort that started later to ensure I get all the sessions in proper way. Totally worth the money I paid for. I'ld strongly recommend them. Read less

I joined IK's ML switch up program in last October. Done with classic ML concepts and will learn advanced topics in upcoming weeks. So far it's highly valuable experience. Course content is well structured and designed thoughtfully. Perfect for beginners and intermediate. Instructors are from FAANG and truly knowledgeable. They explained even complex concepts clearly with real time examples. I would appreciate IK team for giving lifetime access to live recording and other pre recording/Materials. Can learn at my own pace and revise the concepts anytime. Also IK is allowing us to book limitless technical coaching session. Thank you IK team

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested to switch to ML platform. It offers great value for the time invested Read less

I've had a wonderful experience with IK!  I'm still going through it but so far it has taken me out of my own box of experience of 20yrs programming graphics and placed into the box that nearly every TECH company is requiring in order to get a position.  I am also very thankful for Sanjana's help with keeping track of me and steering me in the right path.  She also makes a great sound board.:)  Oh, Omkar is an incredible teacher!  His approach to solving problems are very very insightful.  I wish I had his ability to do this.

I have been a student at Interview Kickstart since March, and my experience so far has been outstanding. The course structure is extremely well-designed and comprehensive, covering everything a candidate needs to succeed in top tech interviews, including FAANG-level companies. The curriculum is structured to build deep understanding of fundamental concepts and problem-solving skills, which are essential for cracking technical interviews.

The live classes are highly interactive and taught by experienced instructors who bring real-world industry insights. The access to mentors is a major highlight — they are always available to clarify doubts, provide guidance, and help reinforce learning. So far, I’ve completed modules on Sorting and Recursion, and even these early sessions have added tremendous value to my understanding and approach to coding problems.

I believe that anyone who commits time and effort to following it will be well-prepared for success in technical interviews at the highest level. Read less

I came to InterviewKickStart with a goal to understand and prepare myself for interviews. The course Is so wisely designed that I ended up becoming a good professional in due course.

I would like to explicitly name and thank Omkar Deshpande for his excellent classes. I learnt a lot from his classes. Read less

I took Interview Kickstart’s Backend Engineering Interview Prep course, and it was a great experience. The structured content helped me stay focused instead of getting lost in endless resources.

The mock interviews were the best part I got to practice with engineers and EMs from top tech companies, which really boosted my confidence and reduced interview anxiety. The instructors were also super helpful in clearing doubts.

If you're looking for solid interview prep with high-quality mocks, IK is definitely worth considering! Read less

This is the best coaching for interviews. The approach taught in this program is practical and scalable. Instead of doing 500+ problems on leetcode, with a handful of problems, one can learn the strategy on solving them. Best support team ever, and interviews are from FAANG+ companies. As an ex-FAANG sr engineer, myself. Highly recommend! Well worth the money Read less

The course is very costly and we don't get enough value for the money. Career coach does not really perform any work and does not guide you as well. I was part of Engineering Management course in the past and it really did not help me for my career growth/expansion.   Read less

I have watched several youtube videos for technical content, but IK's teachers and their content is by far the best and their support staff makes it even better.

I registered for the Early Engineering Program. It is a great refresher and deep dive into programming concepts and techniques. My current position for the last 3 years has low-code everyday tasks. Therefore, this program has efficiently helped me get back into it.

Aside from the hard skills, soft skills are also developed. Overall a great experience so far and looking forward to my remaining time here before I get into my dream(FAANG) company. Read less
