🚨 UpGrad & Golden Gate University (GGU) Hybrid MS in Business Analytics Program – A Student Scam 🚨
Byju's critic Pradeep Poonia's comments on upgrad
I’m sharing my experience with UpGrad and its partnership with Golden Gate University (GGU) to warn students about their misleading practices, false marketing, and loan scams. This is not just my case—many students have suffered similar issues, and we need to hold them accountable.
# 🔴 How This Started: The Promises UpGrad Made
Like many students, I was drawn to UpGrad’s Hybrid MSBA program with Golden Gate University (GGU) because of:
✅ Claims of AACSB Accreditation (which turned out to be false).
✅ Assurances that I was eligible for an education loan.
✅ Promises that my previous visa refusal wouldn’t affect my chances.
✅ A seamless transition to the U.S. after completing part of the course in India.
However, everything turned out to be misleading. After investing my money, time, and energy into this program, I found myself in an education trap with no way out.
# 🚨 The Shocking Reality: How UpGrad Scams Students
🔹 False Admission Promises:
UpGrad admits students without evaluating their academic history.
My educational gap was overlooked, leading to loan rejection later.
I had already been refused a U.S. visa (214b) before enrolling. Despite informing the admission counsellor, I was assured it wouldn’t be a problem—this was a blatant lie.
🔹 Accreditation Lies & Credit Transfer Issues:
GGU is not AACSB-accredited, making credit transfers to top U.S. universities impossible.
Other AACSB-accredited universities offer similar programs at lower costs, but UpGrad conceals this fact.
🔹 Overpriced & Inferior Education:
The ₹4,00,000 fee (approximately $5,000) is inflated, with ₹1,00,000 allocated to visa assistance and English tests—much higher than actual market costs.
The study material is not even as good as free courses on platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and YouTube.
🔹 Unethical Visa Assistance & Risk to Students’ Data:
UpGrad collects students’ login credentials for DS-160 visa forms—a major violation of visa application ethics.
Unqualified staff handle visa applications, risking students’ U.S. visa approvals.
🔹 Referral Scheme Proves Profit-Driven Motive:
Students are offered ₹80,000 per referral to get others to join, showing how cheap the actual program cost is for UpGrad while charging us a fortune.
🔹 Previous Scams by UpGrad:
UpGrad has been linked to other student scams involving AI/ML programs and ACCA MBAs.
In the past, over 700 students were left stranded after similar false promises of jobs and career growth.
# 💬 What Pradeep Poonia Had to Say About This Scam
EdTech critic Pradeep Poonia has come across many students suffering from UpGrad's scam. Here’s what he said in support of my **Change.org** petition: https://chng.it/CYDcKxrm7t
🗣️ "EdTech courses should only be sold via monthly subnoscriptions, not loans! None of these are worth taking on debt."
🗣️ "I’ve seen many students suffer due to UpGrad. EdTech companies are putting students in loan traps!"
# 🔥 The Emotional & Financial Toll
1️⃣ I lost ₹4,00,000 ($5,000) in fees.
2️⃣ I resigned from my job, losing more than a year’s salary.
3️⃣ I lost my SEVIS fee ($350) and academic opportunities.
4️⃣ My father had a cardiac arrest due to family stress over this.
5️⃣ I am facing legal threats (Cease & Desist notices) for exposing the truth.
UpGrad has offered full refunds to some students who threatened legal action or suicide, proving they are aware of their unethical practices.
# 📢 Call to Action: Let’s Fight Back!
We need to hold UpGrad and similar EdTech companies accountable for misleading
