| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | Indian students seeking internships | Employers hiring in India at volume |
| Who it's not for | Job seekers outside India: listings center on India | Companies hiring outside India |
| Privacy | Mixed posture: a 2023 user data breach, an active bug bounty hall of fame, and a security page that 404s.⁷ | No public CVEs for itself; the found CVEs affect a third-party clone script, and one recruiter email leak was fixed. |
| Support quality | No direct support evidence in sources | Spam calls and pushy upsell complaints |
| Public sentiment | Reviews split between students who find listings and courses useful and users who report fake job calls and upsell pressure.¹ | Free job search gets praise, while paid add-ons and spam draw the loudest complaints.16 |
| Biggest gotcha | The platform itself publishes fake-company spotting guides, so listings need self-screening11 | Reddit threads call the ₹9,000 combo pack and other paid services a scam.16 |
