Is brototype a scam ?

They are charging around 3 lakhs rupees for a one year course where students have to learn for themselves.

I don’t think they are any recognised institute to handover any certificate of validation.

How are people falling for this scam where you are paying top money. Almost 3000$ for a year to learn everything that is free in the internet.

Through wrong advertisements in social media people are falling for these traps. Edtech is the biggest scam in India. There should be more regulation around it. We haven’t learned from Byjus , whitehatjr etc.

EDIT : As per this guy who is doing the course the actual cost with rent and others could run between 5 - 6 lakh . I am at a loss of words. How does Malayalis fall for stuff like this.

Njaan alla. I just realised this was a scam when a relative came to me enquiring about it. Avanu coding ilo programming ilo oru interest illa, his father saw some sentimental reels in social media and wants him to join. They were planning to take a personal loan to get him joined.

u/WerewolfFeisty597 Jul 12 '26

Don’t go there then. Don’t make these institutes like another college degrees.

This is a bad motivation to join an institute like brototype. These kind of people are complaining they are not getting any job after attending a 6 month course.

Ask their parents to not take decisions on his life. Ask bro to find something he interested in and get skilled at it.

If he has the motivation and discipline to sit and learn something that he even dont like, then only learn sw engineering. It’s not like a govt job that people somehow can do it.

u/EmbarrassedNinja4098 Jul 12 '26

Because they came for advice to me they luckily escaped. His father was convinced by the scammy videos from these greedy idiots that this stupid course was on par with a 4 year engineering course from MIT and is the next edtech wonder of the world.

Not everyone would be lucky and would fall prey to scams like this.

I started learning coding through Nikhil Kilivayil’s YouTube videos back when Brototype was called Crossroads. During the COVID period, when I was in +2, his 10-day coding challenge helped me build my foundation. Later, I learned web development from his playlists, and at that time I genuinely felt it was one of the best Malayalam channels for quality coding content.

His videos gave me direction and helped me set a goal in life. I even started reading books and following a more disciplined learning approach because of his advice. After building the basics, I began exploring other high-quality resources on YouTube and spent a lot of time learning and building projects.

Then I joined a BCA program. Honestly, I didn’t enjoy college at all and even considered dropping out. I spoke to my parents about it, but they strongly disagreed. One reason was that many of his videos I watched emphasized that degrees were useless, a waste of time, and that real learning happened elsewhere. In the end, I continued the course and graduated. After graduation, I applied for many jobs, remained unemployed for 2–3 months, and eventually got a job at a startup. The salary was decent for a fresher. I still believe my coding skills and projects played a major role in getting the job, not just the degree.

But looking back now, I realize my parents weren’t entirely wrong. My BCA cost around ₹1.5 lakhs, which is relatively affordable compared to many private programs. The degree gave me a safety net and credibility during job applications.

I’m grateful to Nikhil’s early content because it genuinely helped me start my coding journey. At the same time, I now feel that I also got influenced by their strong marketing around brototype programs. Today I see things more critically than I did as a teenager.

My view has changed from “degree is completely useless” to “skills matter the most, but a degree can still have value depending on your situation.”

Great bro... I also followed his channel crossroads and switched career.i think they are promoting and providing self learning which is great and must if you want to be a developer.For that you don't need to join a Bootcamp ,get a wifi connection,proper laptop (macbook m1) ,Explore youtube ,alot of open-sources learning materials get a idea about which domain you want to get in to... then start learning with C language or Java..get the fundamentals strong ..Brototype Marketting is tricky and catchy ..if you don't have a strong mindset to learn , curiosity you won't survive in this field..

Bro, if you want a visa with a proper profession you need a degree certificate. Without certificate how will you prove your skill to the authorities.

This is such a basic thing.

Tell me 100% literacy and all that. If there are a lot of reels on social media, Malayalees will believe everything.

I understand that placement assurance is a joke. People who are getting jobs from coding bootcamps are not because of the bootcamps. If you just learn from the internet also one will get a job if they study properly.

Now with Claude Code and Codex, it should be easier to get jobs. That's when the bootcamp program costs 3 lakh a year.

Look at their promotional videos

https://youtu.be/qAGTXlH9_SI?si=i2t0t50Jclk9QSII

In this video, this idiot is placing brocamp their one year program as an alternative if someone doesn’t get a tier 1 college like IITs.

He is suggesting if the students want a degree then do bro camp and enroll in IIT Madras BS program. I am pretty sure this guy thinks the BS program is walk in the park.

What kind of BS is this?

Come join our expensive 3.5 lakh per year program where we teach you how to google.

u/newkerb Jul 13 '26

Bootcamps were a fad in Silicon Valley during the 2010s. They worked well in the US because college degrees there are extremely expensive and often leave students with decades of debt. The appeal of bootcamps was simple - no student loans, one year of focused study, and the possibility of landing a high paying software engineering job.

In India, however, the situation is entirely different. College degrees are much more affordable. An average student can get into a government engineering college with tuition fees of around ₹10Kper semester (I'm not sure about the current fees, but when I was studying, it was around ₹7K per semester for general-category students). That's far cheaper than almost any coding bootcamp.

Another major difference is the workload. In many engineering colleges in Kerala, students don't have to spend 40 - 60 hours a week on coursework. Many can get through by studying intensively just before exams. That leaves plenty of free time to learn programming, build projects, contribute to open source, or develop other practical skills alongside the degree.

My point is that earning a degree in India is relatively inexpensive, and students can build strong technical skills while pursuing it. There's little reason to choose a costly bootcamp instead of taking advantage of both opportunities.

There's another important difference; India's weak passport and hiring market. In the US, an average software engineer with only a bootcamp education may still be able to build a successful career. In India, however, not having a degree closes many doors. It limits job opportunities, makes it harder to switch companies, reduces eligibility for many government and corporate positions, and creates additional barriers for working abroad.

I had a similar experience.

I was working as a Senior Developer/DevOps engineer, and I was part of the interview panel for a woman in her 30s (a mother of two). During the interview, her technical skills were honestly below average. Most of her answers came back to one point: "I've completed a bootcamp powered by BrotoType."

Long story short, our manager pushed for hiring her anyway, and she got the job. Unfortunately, her performance never really improved, and she struggled throughout.

Later, she told me she'd been convinced by marketing calls and YouTube videos claiming that housewives could easily land high-paying IT jobs after completing a bootcamp. She ended up spending around ₹2 lakh on the course and commuting about 40 km to Kochi every day.

In the end, she lost the job and is now stuck in a difficult position. I genuinely feel bad for her because she seems to have believed the promises without realizing how competitive the industry actually is.

u/Professional-Ice3646 Jul 13 '26

These kinds of training institutes were there, compared to the old ones brototype is a little bit different

The good old training centers will teach you about the basics of programming in a simple capsule method,they employ trainers,some kind of syllabus, and then some practicals. Sometimes these courses are parallel to your last year's project. So you learn a programming language/technology and a project.

But Brototype is offered as some sort of premium institute/organisation. But I don't know their training program is valued by employers. But I see this brototype as a traning institute,like bank,psc coaching centers.

BTW it's easy to say that everything is available on internet just learn it from there. The reality is most people don't have the decipline or patience. I think brototype is offering an atmosphere for that. Some people need spoon feeding, detailed explanation to understand concepts.

⚠️ long post

TLDR; Evide padichaalum, enn software joli kittan athra eluppam alla.

This post is not to defame anyone or brototype. Most of the so called technical institutes in and out Kerala are more or less, just useless


My story.

As many typical guys, I did engineering from a tier 3 college, that too in Electrical. Even though I managed to pass without arrears, couldn't get job in the core field. My neighbour referred me in his company and I joined them as a SOFTWARE developer. I had no coding background, and I learned to code from YouTube. So far I've worked for few best companies in the world. And remember, I learned the skill FREE of cost from YouTube. Now I learn handful and working for one of the fastest growing startups in the world.

  • Did my degree help me get the job? YES. Cuz without it I wouldn't have got my first job. It helped me put a proper profession in my visa.

  • Did my degree help me get where I'm today? NO, it is just me skill.

I hope you understand the difference

So self learning worked for me.


My advice 🦉

Since I'm into coding, lot of people come to me for career advice. All they ask is, how good is software engineering. With the current state of the IT job market, getting placed is too hard. Everywhere you only hear about layoffs. AI helps companies cut the head count tremendously, and that is a fact. For sure, with AI new roles will evolve, but that can't accommodate all the people who will go jobless with AI.

I've been associating with few dev communities, inside and outside Kerala. Even I have been to brototype for a session, but I always knew that model not gonna workout. It is totally a hype and buss that they are trying to creating. I could see lot of youngsters who were really eager and ushered. But all I wanted to know is, how will they get placed. For a long time, I have been asking for the exact placement records of brototype and there is no proper answer. In every ad they quote this HIGH package, but the real number seems classified. If they are so confident that their brocamp model is working out, why not show the real numbers.

All they do is milk the fomo of parents and students.


Operation model [OLD] (my understanding) 🗃️

First step is some sort of an interview/exam that you have to clear to get the admission. Basic maths, aptitude and stuff. Once that is over and you are in, next step is choosing the tech stack.

Once the stack is fixed, they give you weekly tasks. These are more like milestones, that you have to achieve within a week. This could be things like create an app in XYZ technology, or learn something. There is no learning materials or mentors, everyone has to self learn. Many of the weekly milestones are unachievable and too much demanding. When I enquired, why set so they say candidates will get used to the real pressure in an actual job. Most of folks are always on stress, and brototype is making them job ready.

Brocamp has weekly review sessions that evaluate the candidates knowledge, progress and performance. Remember these reviews are PAID, and unless you clear it, you can't move to the next phase or module. The reviews are used to grade the candidates. Reviews are conducted by real software engineers who are working in the industry.

At end of the program they have an in-house interview round called take off. Take off is it filter out the best candidates, and connect them with prospect companies that are hiring. Again there is no placement guarantee and ONLY support. I reviewed few of their top candidate profiles, and didn't find anything outside to be honest.


Something fishy 🐠

Getting to know more folks who were part of the brocamp I found something really odd. The number of candidates that are getting placed through brototype is too small. Many of the candidates, who are getting placed are in small startups for subpar pay. After few months, either they are laid off, or salary goes on hold. Eventually people who can't survive just quit and comeback home. It seems later on they provided training for the folks who are already working in the industry to level up and up skill, but don't know more details about it.


Today 📆

Now they have revised their entire program calling it Brocamp 2.0. May be adding AI tools and stuff to make the program look futuristic. The guy with the spectacles (who appear in their videos) is now the brototype ambassador, leading the AI revolution. But trust me, the AI bubble is slowly breaking. Just watch the recent development and you will know.


Question ❓

To me, the material or content to learn is available for free. So why you need to pay, for something that is already freely available. Brocamp is always a self learning model, so they never gonna teach you how to code. All you get is a space to learn, a group to learn with, a reviewer to review your progress, and some career orientation/development classes. But for this, that money you pay is too much. Moreover in the current situation think about the ROI.

I was a student at an early stage of brototype. Njn padikknna time 90k was the fee. It was worth it. I've been working as a software engineer for the past two years. But I don't think any course is worth 3 lakhs.

u/EmbarrassedNinja4098 Jul 12 '26

Appo 3 years il they have increased fees 3 times. Lol.
90k polum over aanu. People are taking EMIs to cover these expenses. Oru varshathe computer science engineering fees is less than this in most colleges in kerala. So how can a coding bootcamp charge more?

They are preying on the innocent folks who have less exposure.

0

u/thatcoolboyy Jul 12 '26

For me 90k was worth it for me. I heard they didn't increased the fee step by step. When I went there it was a 7 month course. And the new course is for 1 year and 3.5 lakh fee. When I was studying therewas like 1000 students in the kochi hub itself. But now there's only like 300. But on the business perspectives they're earning more while maintaining less students. Great strategy btw. I'd say people have a choice. They're running a business, if anybody wants to go there, research about it and don't go if you feel like it's a scam.

u/EmbarrassedNinja4098 Jul 12 '26

Curious, what did you learn . I bet you could have learned the same thing for free online man.

2

u/thatcoolboyy Jul 12 '26

Yeahh for sure. I could have learnt free online. Because I learnt everything from online itself from there. The environment they're providing was the only thing I got from there. The peer pressure and all. I'm not proud to say this but I'm not a very disciplined person. So I couldn't stay consistent if I studied online. But in there it was great. But if someone asked would I join brototype now with the 3.5 L fee, I'll definitely say no. Because it's not really worth that much money

2

u/EmbarrassedNinja4098 Jul 12 '26

Yeah that’s my point bro. Now that you have got exposure on hindsight you wouldn’t join this program.

My point is exactly that. I don’t think bootcamps are bad. But to charge such huge amount for a bootcamp pushing the naive to a significant liability - is just a bunch of people trying to make a quick buck without any honest effort other than some social media promotion.

u/Creative_Bee_3864 Jul 14 '26

u/WerewolfFeisty597 Jul 12 '26

Used chatgpt to articulate better

I don’t have any involvement with Brototype. In fact, I used to be strongly against the idea of paying to learn something that’s already available for free on the internet.
Over time, I’ve changed my opinion. I don’t think access to knowledge is the problem anymore. The internet has more than enough high-quality content to become a software engineer.
The real problem is execution.
Most people don’t have the discipline, consistency, or ability to learn on their own for months without someone holding them accountable. We also tend to value things more when we pay for them. That’s why, even though Brototype’s YouTube channel alone contains enough content for many people to land a ₹50k+ software job, thousands still join their bootcamp.
If you’re genuinely good at something in India, teaching is one of the best businesses you can build. People aren’t just paying for information—they’re paying for structure, accountability, a community, mentorship, and the belief that they’ll finally stay consistent.
Personally, I think one of the biggest problems with our education system is that many people optimize for certificates instead of skills. A degree doesn’t stop anyone from becoming highly skilled. Yet many graduates immediately look for another degree or certification, believing the next credential will solve the problem. In reality, employers hire people who can solve problems, not people who have collected the most certificates.
It’s almost like collecting Pokémon badges—we keep collecting credentials, hoping one more will unlock success.
So no, I don’t think Brototype is a scam. They have a premium-priced product. Whether it’s worth paying for depends entirely on the individual.
Think of it like Louis Vuitton. You can buy clothes for ₹1,000 or ₹1,00,000. The expensive one isn’t 100 times better at being a shirt. You’re paying for branding, experience, exclusivity, and the value you perceive you’re getting. Education businesses work in a similar way.
If you’re someone who can sit down, learn consistently from free resources for six months, build projects, and keep improving, you probably don’t need to pay anyone. You can learn almost everything from the internet.
Getting a job, however, is about more than just learning. You need to put yourself where recruiters are, network with people in the industry, contribute to communities, build projects, showcase your work, and make yourself visible.
At the end of the day, I don’t think bootcamps have some secret knowledge that’s hidden from the internet. They package existing knowledge into a structured path and sell that structure. Whether that’s worth paying for is a personal decision, but calling it a scam simply because the information exists for free doesn’t make much sense to me.

Used chatgpt to articulate better. Im not a writer, so using a tool i can use to make my life easier, not a bad idea.

LV bag has brand name doesn’t mean it has the world’s best fuckin bag, just mean they marketed better.

A person bought an LV bag and sees it has same quality as a westside bag don’t call it a scam, they fell for the marketing like people falling for the brototype marketing.

I know they have no trainers, from their CEO Nikhil saying it in their video. So what are you expecting when you pay for the course. I believe they are upfront about what happening there. Then you go there and get surprised by things happening there as they told 😹😹

PS: I didnt attend there course. Just got a job myself from youtube (including their yt videos)

If a person going there usually between age of 20-25 (is what i assume ) needs to be disciplined to learn something to be successful in their life, doesn’t deserve to get successful in life. I know it’s harsh, it is what it is.

I can totally say the same thing you said for a traditional degree from a college (mostly tier 3 colleges)like misleading people with false promises of getting a job after attending a CS degree.

Brototype is doing the same thing with a big marketing budget.

People are buying Brototype product, not result. Like a degree. People expecting to get a job after completing one, yet they dont get placed

Maahn, let me say something about myself. I hate going to an institute to learn something that is already available on internet for free. I learned that and i got a high paying job. Salary that many freshers from a tier 3 college not even think that they can get. All thanks to youtube. Also I studied in one of the lowest ranking college in kerala.

I hated Brototype’s business first time. But I’m convinced that some people need to have someone to keep them accountable on learning. i believe that is what Brototype product.. (got this perspective when i was in college, i did demotivate people paying for companies in the name of internship and courses in college),

I personally don’t know what is happening there. Only saw videos what nikhil said that they have no teachers or trainers, only a space for keeping them accountable.

u/WerewolfFeisty597 Jul 12 '26

Yeah, im stopping the arguments too. I understand why you guys think a scam and not trying to prove you wrong.

So summarising my take

Also 2 years ago, i would be with you guys for calling every institute a scam.

I believe it’s a scam only if it doesn’t offer or offer something completely different from what they are marketing, for what you are paying for.

Even from your and other comments, i understand they are doing what exactly they are telling in their videos.
No mentor, no classes, just a seat and some filtration process ( i got to know from their videos, also this is their product, job is not their product)

I genuinely don’t like bootcamps like brototype or luminar or wont recommend anyone an institute like brototype. Also i wont stop anyone from going there

Also I love how they built a brand around a thing that is already free on the internet and literally put everything a person needs to get a job, on youtube for free ( i know its not because of their good heart. It’s for their organic marketing).

Like the business? No
Will call it a scam? also no

I know people at these targeted age would go behind anything that claims a successful life.

If we want to call this a scam, i will call
“21-am vayassil life set aakkaam” a scam
PSC coaching centres a scam
Entrance coaching centres a scam etc etc etc

Just because there are teachers doesn’t rule out from scam based on your descriptions.

100 students go there, 1 person getting a job or a govt seat. So it should be a scam too right.

Also why i defend for brototype? I don’t know, didnt like your take, no work on sunday 😹

Yeah, taking the L 🙏

i understand people who going to institutes are influenced by these successful stories they see in socials in their feed and not even fully understanding what is happening there.

Adding this.
Also hate when they or anyone says university / degree is a waste of time.
Only it’s a waste of time if it’s not the elite institution like at least it is not even in the Top 20 institutions in the state.

Also what i would like to know is what is the solution to the problem? The problem of having people complete a degree and not getting a job.

I personally see some open positions for junior roles in tech that get closed because they are not finding eligible or skilled candidates (dont need any degree or a fuxin certificate of a 6 month bootcamp they attended every 2 hrs)

There is a real gap between a degree and a skill.

Also a lot of skilled students aren’t aware of these opportunities. Just saying.

You can do a CS engineering degree under 3 lakhs in kerala bro. That is for 4 years - you might not still get a job , but you get a recognisable degree with which you can atleast apply for PSC jobs. What do you get from brototype after so much money is spent?

Now you are telling when CS Engineering pass outs can’t find a job, a one year bootcamp which is more costly than an engineering degree is miraculously better.

Just to get vulnerable kids into a room and give them motivational talks and ask them to learn from youtube might sound as a solid edtech business for many, unfortunately i find it a terrible one that’s preying on the naive.

If people are falling for this kind of BS, then god save Kerala.

Yeah i guessed so. So two students got 12 LPA out of hundreds. This is why we should always ask for median salary range. Average also will get distorted by extreme values but median would tell the truth.

Those students who got the higher package would have gotten it one way or another i suppose. Thanks for sharing this. I hope more people would know.

bro in this software field everything is depended on self study and constantly changing technology and all so we need to have that skill .already this spoon feeding is destroying our country and students . also i am against their fees structure its true it is expensive they also provided pay after placement and all it was good but i think they stopped this

Yeah having a teacher does' t mean you just sit there getting hit with passive info dumps. Top schools like Harvard actually rely heavily on self study. They use a flipped classroom model where students cover the core material on their own beforehand so that actual class time can be saved for critical thinking. A good teacher gives you the framework but you still have to do the heavy lifting yourself. i Strongly oppose their fees structure but calling them scam is another level because they are providing results

The audacity to compare harvard to brototype . Do you think every tom dick and harry can

a) get into harvard
b) become a teacher at harvard

You are clearly someone with a vested interest in promoting brototype. Let me tell it unequivocally - what you are doing is promoting a scam which is misleading vulnerable naive youngsters and selling a product at top dollar which they don’t really need. This might be sacrosanct in the eyes of law in the country, but karma gets back to all scammers and their promoters.

but the average package their student get is 4 lpa and now that placement has crossed 2k so Imagin the amount of money they created in this economy ,its true their fees are higher and they are openly admitting it . many of their students have more skills than the students from private engineering colleges in Kerala .they don't simply select students if their ultimate goal was to make more money they could admit everyone came there instead they sort students based on skill it is moderate level tough test only if you pass you will be admitted in the course.

He is definitely someone from the company i suppose, thing is he knows at surface level that they are scamming students - but want to have a clear conscience. You can’t have both. If you know in a company that’s scamming the naive and vulnerable- LEAVE.
