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 is not affiliated with Preplaced (preplaced.in), a different company with a similar name.
It started with teaching. While working as a senior data engineer at 7-Eleven, Durgesh taught data engineering at Bosscoder Academy and data analytics at Scaler. 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 past 70,000 learners, a Telegram community passed 27,000, 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.

Yes. PrepNPlaced is a real company, started in June 2026 in Bengaluru by Durgesh Yadav and Pragya Rathi, two working data engineers, and the claims on its site link to something you can check. The 16 placements it names each link to the person's LinkedIn profile, including Sukesh Reddy, who joined Google as an Engineering Analyst - Data Engineer in September 2026. The live cohort is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 53 learners from Cohorts 1 to 3. PrepNPlaced is not affiliated with Preplaced (preplaced.in) or PrepInsta.
It can be, if you put in the practice: start on the free tier, which needs no card, and pay only for the part you need. The free tier includes resume scores, free lessons and coding practice. The Job Seeker and Pro plans are one payment for 1, 3 or 6 months, nothing renews, and there is a 7-day refund once per account. The live cohorts cost ₹59,000 (Data Engineering) and ₹20,000 (Data Analytics), with a refund within 7 days of payment or until your second live class, whichever comes first. The 1:1 mentorships with Durgesh Yadav cost ₹59,999 (Data Analytics) or ₹1,30,000 to ₹2,00,000 (Data Engineering). Nothing on the site guarantees a job or a salary.
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
Plans have a 7-day refund, once per account, with no reason needed. Cohort seats, recordings and LinkedIn packs have their own terms on our refund policy page.
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.
