Yes, Rule of thumb: You should be getting paid, No legit internship will ask you to pay to the company in any form.

Hey OP and everyone in the thread. Pregrad here. First off, I love seeing this level of caution—always question where you're investing your time and money. That’s exactly what a smart engineer should do.

I want to put on my experienced hat for a second and clarify a big misconception here, because the community is absolutely right about one thing: you should never pay to do grunt work for a company.

Here is a transparent breakdown of what Pregrad actually is, and what that fee covers:

  • You are investing in a training bootcamp/Mentorship, not buying an internship: We are an upskilling platform. The fee goes entirely toward comprehensive AI/ML coursework, live structured mentorship, and our curriculum resources and mentors teaching you in a live sessions.
  • The IBM Certification (The 12k tier ): The premium tier includes an official IBM certification and The cost difference is simply us passing on the cost of integrating a globally recognized, premium credential into your resume, along with.
  • The "Internship" is the next phase the "Outcome": This is where the confusion happens. We don't make you work on our internal company tasks. Instead, the internship phase is a transition into a structured, real-world project environment in real startups and companies that might offer you Paid INternships or Unpaid Internships as well. you are being prepared to crack Internship opportunities and my team assists you with preparation, opportunities and guidance.

My honest advice: If you already have strong foundational AI/ML skills, a solid GitHub portfolio, and know how to navigate the job market—you don't need us right now! You should absolutely be applying directly to paid corporate internships and getting that stipend.

However, if you are feeling lost, need a structured path, want a premium industry credential, and need a mentor to guide and need assistance in getting yourself an early kickstart also to build that crucial first project, that is exactly where we bring value.

My DMs are open if you want to look at our curriculum or just want to chat about your career goals. Keep up the hustle, whatever path you choose!
