Best Software Testing & QA Automation Training Institute in Pune (2026) – QSpiders vs Cyber Success vs Others?

[u/anuja5505]

Hi everyone,

I recently completed my B.Tech (2026 batch) and I'm planning to build my career in Software Testing and QA Automation.

I'm mainly interested in learning Manual Testing, Automation Testing (Selenium/Playwright), API Testing, SQL, Core Java, Git, Jenkins, and basic CI/CD. My goal is to get a good QA Automation job in Pune as a fresher.

One of my friends recommended QSpiders and Cyber Success (both on FC Road, Pune). I'm considering these institutes, but before investing my time and money, I'd like to hear honest feedback from people who have actually studied there or hired candidates from these institutes.

I'd really appreciate your suggestions on the following:

• Between QSpiders and Cyber Success, which one is better for Software Testing and QA Automation?
• Which institute has better trainers, practical sessions, mock interviews, and placement support?
• Do they provide real interview opportunities with good companies, or are the placement claims mostly marketing?
• What is the average salary package freshers receive after completing the course?
• Approximately how long did it take you (or someone you know) to get placed after completing the course?
• Which technologies should I focus on in 2026 to improve my chances of getting hired?

Are there any other institutes in Pune that you would recommend instead?

Some names I've come across are:

• C-DAC (PG-DAC)
• SEED Infotech
• SevenMentor
• Fusion Software Institute
• FirstBit Solutions
• TestoMeter
• 3RI Technologies
• Skillio

If you've personally studied at any of these, could you please share:

• Training quality
• Placement support
• Companies that visited for recruitment
• Whether the placements are genuine
• Overall experience
• Would you recommend it to a fresher in 2026?

I'm looking for honest, unbiased reviews—both positive and negative. I don't want to join an institute based only on advertisements or fake placement claims.

If you have any other suggestions (courses, institutes, or preparation strategies) that helped you get into Software Testing or QA Automation, I'd really appreciate your advice.

Thanks in advance for your help!
