NextLeap

My experience with NextLeap was largely disappointing. While Arindam Sir’s sessions were informative, the content itself was nothing beyond what is already freely available on YouTube. Much of the course revolved around installing tools and following along, rather than offering deep, original learning or meaningful mentorship.I did find a few guest sessions valuable, but considering I paid ₹40,000, the overall value did not justify the cost. Despite making three attempts, I was unable to clear the evaluation rounds. What felt particularly unfair was that several candidates who relied heavily on AI tools such as Google Stitch to generate designs were selected, while I combined AI with my own design skills and was still rejected—without receiving clear or actionable feedback. The reasons given for rejection felt vague and unconvincing.Another major issue was the project submission process. Their website frequently faced technical glitches during submissions, which made uploading projects frustrating and unreliable. These issues were never acknowledged or taken into consideration during evaluations, even though they directly impacted the submission experience.During the course, Akansha was responsive, but once the program ended, communication dropped significantly. It felt like there was little genuine concern for students after enrollment. The team makes strong efforts to get you to enroll, using big promises and confident messaging, but the post-enrollment experience does not reflect those claims.There is significant hype around this course online, which raises expectations. Unfortunately, the reality does not match the marketing. The level of assistance, mentorship, and accountability offered is minimal, especially when compared to established institutions. For anyone considering this program, I would recommend first strengthening your basics through free resources like YouTube and then investing in programs from reputed institutes that provide structured learning and real guidance.This is my honest experience, shared to help others make a more informed decision.

I joined NextLeap looking for a structured and hands-on way to learn, and overall, my experience has been a really positive one. The program is well planned, and the curriculum is broken down clearly, which makes it easier to follow without feeling overwhelmed. I especially liked the strong focus on practical projects, as they helped me connect what I was learning to real-world situations instead of just theory.





The instructors and mentors were supportive, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping us improve. The feedback on assignments was specific and useful, which made it easier to understand where I could do better. Since the program is part-time and online, it was manageable alongside other commitments, which was a big plus for me. 





Overall, I’d recommend NextLeap to anyone who is serious about upskilling and is willing to put in the effort, especially if you’re looking for practical learning rather than just watching recorded videos. Read less

The fellowship provided a well-structured learning path covering everything from Excel, SQL, Python, and Tableau to real-world case studies and projects. What I appreciated most was how practical and hands-on the program was every milestone focused on solving real business problems, which helped me gain strong analytical thinking and storytelling skills.

 My experience with NextLeap’s Product Management Fellowship was enriching and practical. The program is well-structured, focuses heavily on hands-on learning, and provides a clear understanding of what product management involves in real world settings. Over 12 weeks, I worked on multiple mini-projects and one final capstone, which helped me apply PM frameworks, conduct user research, and create PRDs and wireframes. Read less

NextLeap gave me the structure, mentorship, and community I needed to break into product management. The hands-on projects, real-world feedback, and access to top PMs helped me build confidence and clarity in my career path. 
It’s not just about learning, it’s about transforming how you think and solve problems like a true product leader. Highly recommend it to anyone serious about making a shift into PM. Read less

I am especially grateful for the numerous opportunities you gave me to connect with other fellows, showcase my graduation project, and build my confidence. Before joining NextLeap, my knowledge of product management was limited.

The resources, mock interview sessions, and in-depth lectures have been invaluable—I still revisit them to learn and refine my skills!

NextLeap is not just a program; it’s a game-changer, truly providing people like us with the opportunity to secure product management roles in some of the best companies. Read less

 Upraised charges a bomb but offers solid support while Next Leap is affordable yet lacks guidance No sample projects minimal direction and vague curriculum with key topics like Agile and RICE framework missing Interview sessions exist but aren’t helpful and there’s zero support With 100+ people stuffed in a cohort asking doubts is impossible Clearly targeted at freshers so if you’re experienced better skip it Forget placements they claim it’s for top fellows but even they don’t get placed Feels like a betrayal  Read less

Next leap was the right decision I made when I chose product designing to be my career. The syllabus covered everything for a person to kick start his career in product designing. They also made us do practical project along with the classes so that we understood the meaning of doing each steps. And at last we had to do projects with 3 chances . So after completing the course I had 3 projects to keep in my portfolio. We also had full time assistance. We could ask doubts any time . Message or a call .Even if it took some time I got placed as a design intern at rise11technologies.  Read less
