About PrepNPlaced
PrepNPlaced is not a funded startup with a growth team. It is built in Bangalore by two people with full-time data jobs who spent years mentoring career-switchers and got tired of watching good candidates lose to bad resumes, cold applications, and interview nerves.
It started with teaching. Durgesh taught data engineering at Scaler and Bosscoder while working as a data engineer at Target, then 7-Eleven. Pragya made the jump from a non-tech background into data engineering herself, then taught 127 live classes so others could do the same. Between them, a WhatsApp channel grew to 75,000 learners, a Telegram community crossed 32,000, and the 1:1 mentorship calendar stopped having free slots.
The same problems kept coming up in every session: resumes that ATS systems silently rejected, hundreds of applications with no replies, interview prep that never matched the company's actual rounds. Fixing these one mentee at a time did not scale. So we started building tools. First a resume scorer, then a job matcher, then an auto-apply bot for Naukri, then mock interviews. PrepNPlaced is those tools, connected.
Today the free tier alone covers what most platforms charge for, and the paid tier exists for one reason: the parts that cost us real money to run. That is the whole business model. No investors to impress, no dark patterns, and every claim on this site links to something you can check yourself.

Two founders who made the switch themselves, and the founding members who run learning and cohort operations day to day.
Founder · Senior Data Engineer @ 7-Eleven
Previously at Target and Coforge. Has taught 10,000+ engineers — as an instructor at Scaler, Bosscoder, Newton School, GeeksforGeeks and Masai, and through his own communities — plus 500+ rated 1:1 sessions. Builds most of what you see on this site.
Co-Founder · Data Engineer @ 7-Eleven
Made the switch from a non-tech background herself, which is why the teaching starts from zero. Has taught 127 live classes (rated 4.9/5) and leads the AI-Powered Data Engineering cohort.
Product Manager Learning · Founding Member
Owns the learning experience end to end — what gets taught, in what order, and whether it actually lands. Shapes the curriculum, the practice sets, and the feedback loops behind every cohort.
Product Manager Operations & Cohort Management · Founding Member
Runs cohort operations — onboarding, schedules, attendance, and the day-to-day support that keeps a live cohort moving. The reason classes start on time and nobody gets left behind.
Every number on this site must be checkable
Follower counts sum from channels you can click. Placement cards link to real LinkedIn profiles. If we can't verify a claim, we remove it.
Paid should be reversible
Every purchase has a 7-day, no-questions-asked refund. If it's not for you, you get your money back and we stay friends.
The free tier is actually useful
153 hours of lessons, 393 coding questions with a live grader, and a 32,000-question interview bank cost nothing. Pay only when the paid tools earn it.
AI does the work, never the lying
Our resume tools refuse to invent experience. Mock interviews grade honestly. A tool that gets you into interviews you can't survive is a bad tool.
Questions before paying for anything? Email us, or book a free 1:1 call and talk to a founder, not a sales team.

The free tier needs no card. Score your resume, take a lesson, solve a question.
