	Sudheer chalasani	I am currently enrolled in Springboard. This program is a complete joke. The curriculum is just a few articles and drills. You have a "mentor" who is supposed to answer questions and help you along the way. My mentor regularly just tells me to google things. They claim that is the best way to learn. If all I'm doing is googling then why pay them 1.95 lakhs I tried to talk to my program manager who was very unhelpful also. I have been very displeased with this program from day 1. They label themselves as self paced but in fact they have a schedule they want you to keep to and you HAVE TO have meeting a week with your mentor. If you don't finish the program in 6 months you don't the job guarantee so I feel so much pressure to finish on time, when all I wanted was to be able to work at my own pace. Would not recommend this to anyone. You're better off googling and taking free courses online.
	Naveen Sharma	It's been almost one year I'm in the field of data science. Clearly, this course not at all design for working professionals, or I guess for no one who wants to learn Data Science. Content: After spending almost 7 months on the Springboard curriculum I guess i'm eligible to review this course content as unsatisfactory. I can guarantee this if you only study springboard DSC content, it will lead you nowhere and you won't be able to crack the interview. I had to go to multiple sources to understand the concept after reading what springboard is offering in its course(Data Camp videos and other free content) and slowly I was able to understand there are lots of free tutorials available outside which give more precise and informative content and realized why did I pay close to 2 lakhs for such poorly designed content. Expectations: Being a noob in any field, students seek to get the base ready and then start constructing buildings on top of it. But this course content is nowhere near to create the base for you. Job Guarantee ? It's been 4 months since I've completed the course. Till now I didn't get a single call for an interview. Career support doesn't mean sending job links and ask students to apply. I can do way better on my own. I really feel I've wasted my precious year and hard-earned money. BIG NO TO THIS COURSE
	Sirisha pallamreddy	I started this Spring board India data science Career track program with broken promises. Before enrolling the school GUARANTEED A FULL TIME JOB OR A FULL REFUND. None of it has happened. The first month was great the easy stuff. The months moving forward I was assigned about 7 different mentors. Reasons being they did not know data science or they would direct me to google. A lot of times the mentors would complain about the low rate of pay. If they didn't like you or if you did not meet a certain requirement they would again point you to google or say they don't know the subject matter. About 75 % of the Q & A's I registered for were cancelled, no reason was given. The curriculum is outdated and old it is a lot of reading and more reading. The mentors are not experienced at all. They just come to collect a paycheck and update their skills on the expense of the students. The school does not monitor the mentor sessions or the Q & A sessions which are just a waste of time. The slack channel your questions will go unanswered or if they answer it they will shame you and point you to an article on how to ask questions. I was not a professional programmer I was a student looking to learn. This program is not designed for students to be successful. Not a single assignment was graded or was any feedback given. Save yourself the time and money go buy the same course on udemy for $10 bucks. Employers do not look at education they look what can you build. The stuff learned here I was not even able to get a UNPAID internship. spring board is one of the most expensive bootcamps out there. And naturally, I thought it would be one of the best out there. It also had so many good reviews. Now, I think they remove all the bad reviews and just keep the good ones. It is definitely not worth the money they ask. The curriculum is not that great and teachers are fine but pacing is just awful. Also, I can not stress this enough. You can not, You can not learn programming and become developer in few weeks. If you put effort and time, you can get same resources provided by springboard all over internet. Do not go here.
