Interview Kickstart

I was a bit hesitant to sign up because of limited information but I am very glad I did. The program is well organized with high quality teachers, good material and exercises. Customer support staff are responsive and work hard to find solutions to student's... Read More challenges that arise during the program. There is a lot of material packed into the program, so this is no small challenge. Real progress requires deep commitment but there is definitely a road forward here. One other positive is the level of students. I cant speak for everyone but people I connected with are strong professionals that have a deep commitment to succeed. As with any program, there are challenges. I would not consider them impediments but rather opportunities to improve. I understand logistical implications but it would be very beneficial to reduce the number of different teachers per cohort. From the point of view of the material, there is no reason not to have the same teachers to cover all of Python and Pandas, or all supervised and unsupervised learning modules. Connections between teachers and students are very important. With logistical limitations, this may not be achievable right away but even partial progress would be advantageous. Overall, with 6 months into the program, I am very glad I signed up and I would definitely do it again knowing what I know about the program now.

The IK Support has been fantastic. They are very responsive and make sure that all the concerns of the student are addressed. They also take their time to understand the issue. If they are not able to provide help they make sure that they get the person... Read More who can help involved. They also give their input and advice. For example, Harsh shared with me that the classes starting are more intense and even gave me early access to the coursework so that I could get a head start. He understood where I came from and gave me all the support that I needed. All other support that I have interacted with are understanding and very helpful. Thank you!

As an experienced software developer and lifelong learner of computer science and engineering, I am privileged to learn from the excellent tutors at IK. The course is comprehensive and learning techniques are insightful. The approach taken to teach problem... Read More solving in foundation materials is brilliant and very effective. There is an ample opportunity for each student to participate and interact in the live classes. The IK operations staff have sincere interest in helping you every step of the way giving very useful tips and guidance until a full resolution to a support request is achieved.

Fantastic content and outstanding instructors!! I'm currently enrolled in the engineering management course with IK, and mastering FAANG interviews is truly an art, skillfully addressed by IK. They offer a wealth of high-quality content in one convenient... Read More place, sparing us the need for trial and error and extensive online research. The instructors, hailing from FAANG+ companies, bring expertise and practical knowledge to their teaching. I've completed the behavioral interview preparation and am now delving into the intricacies of system design. Overall, my experience with this course has been enjoyable. IK's exceptional support is worth highlighting. Whenever I've reached out to the support team with requests, they have responded promptly and effectively resolved my queries. The resources and lectures on System Design and Backend Development provided by IK have been instrumental in reshaping my approach, encouraging me to reconsider my strategies and assisting me in coding and designing scalable systems. The process of preparing for interviews often feels like an overwhelming loop, with an abundance of content available online, each emphasizing specific topics. Watching IK's videos gave me a glimpse of the course's quality. Moreover, the anxiety I typically experience during interviews, even for problems I've previously solved, has diminished with IK's well-organized content. The course focuses on solving problems within specific coding patterns, eliminating the need to obsess over every problem on platforms like Leetcode. The inclusion of Mock Interviews with valuable feedback is particularly beneficial. Understanding how we are assessed during a mock interview has significantly informed my preparation style and boosted my confidence in interviews with various companies. The course actively seeks feedback at different stages, ensuring that input is considered and incorporated. The customer support team has consistently proven helpful, delivering prompt responses at any time of the day when contacted for assistance. I hope this review proves valuable to others as they make informed decisions about their preparation journey!

The course content starts with basic concepts like Python and Mathematics, including technical interview skills and problem-solving skills. The course is led by experienced instructors who have worked at top companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook.... Read More There will be doubts-clearing session and an assignment review session with the instructor. They provide personalized feedback and coaching to help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and develop a customized interview preparation plan. The course also includes access to a comprehensive set of resources, including practice problems, mock interviews, and interview preparation guides. Also has a very good support team and they help us in resolving our queries. Thanks.

I'm into the software development field for more than 20 years. The interview trends and the basic skillset needs have drastically changed during this time. A person like me having worked on some domains in the software development always feels the need... Read More for refreshing on the basics to become more efficient in current work and also get the confidence to be ready for any change. A major hurdle in planning for this is lack of time and also the lack of experience in structuring the contents for the preparation e.g. what DSA problems should I solve to get the basic idea about solving different patterns in dynamic programming or handling permutation /combination related scenarios more efficiently. Firstly I found Interview Kickstart's course contents structuring itself a great plan for efficiently covering all the needed areas for preparation. The course structure is planned by the experts from top companies in a very systematic manner and I think this can't be better for preparing in shorter time. The mentoring in the classes by IK mentors on this adds to the above like nothing else. The cohort learning in the classes gives entirely different experience of solving the problems in a group. A very responsive support team ensure the smooth experience of using the platform. Specifically for me, it has not just been upskilling or preparing for the interview, but ramping up myself to a level to enjoy the problem solving on daily basis. I thank IK team for putting up great efforts to create this platform.

The course content starts with Python and Mathematics and training instructors for the classes are from top-reputed organizations, so it is easy for students to understand the concepts with real examples. The Curriculum for the Machine Learning program... Read More is well-planned. Pros: For each class, there are assignments (Both MCQs and programs) that help us to understand concepts more. There will be a doubts-clearing session and an assignment review session with the instructor. Another important thing is that IK has a very good support team and they help us in resolving our queries. Cons: sometimes it can be hard to complete assignments/everything while working full-time due to lack of time. Finally thanks to IK for giving us the Machine Learning Course.

Initially I have attended for few classes, but couldn’t cope up with it because of emergency in office. IK operations were very supportive and paused the course. Resuming again in Jan, I’m hoping to learn basics of ML and how to apply the these techniques... Read More in software engineering. Would be able to provide proper feedback once I go through it but one benefit I can see is this course is allowing me to go with my own pace. Thanks

It has helped me a lot, it has given me a path to move forward when I was in a difficult situation. Recommend to people who wants to switch a job to get a better job/career . It has lot courses in different fields or areas, you can choose the course based... Read More on your own field of Interest.

IK ML-switchup covers the relevant basics for one to be proficient in ML and content on ML captures the required depth. Multiple course content recordings on the same topics are an added advantage. I am at an early stage of the program and looking forward... Read More to going through the rest of the course.
