⚠️ Internship/Job at Paarsh infotech Nashik = Scam
About 2-3 months ago, our college's TPO introduced a company called Parsh Infotech for placements and internships. The company conducted multiple interview rounds and selected only one student for the job role from among many capable candidates.
Subsequently, the students who were rejected in the final round were contacted again and offered a "3-month training + 3-month internship" opportunity for ₹5,000. When we inquired about the payment, HR explained that this amount was only for the training and would be returned as a stipend after successfully completing the internship.
HR repeatedly made these assurances:
• A guaranteed base stipend of ₹5,000 per month
• Additional incentives based on performance
• The internship will provide real industry experience
After multiple convincing calls from HR, several students—including me—paid the amount.
But our experience raised some serious concerns:
1️⃣ Hiring Pattern
The company officially hired only one student, while the remaining candidates were offered paid "training + internship." This pattern seems quite suspicious.
2️⃣ The quality of training was poor.
The training was like a beginner-level course—not a professional internship program. Sessions started with very basic concepts, and progress was slow because everyone had to wait for someone else.
3️⃣ Training covered the entire internship duration.
In domains like Web Development, MERN Stack, and Data Analysis, a large portion of the 6-month internship was spent solely on training rather than actual project work. Furthermore, company communication was very slow—even after completing the training, we had to repeatedly follow up to assign projects.
4️⃣ No real projects.
Projects were assigned after the training was complete. My training lasted just over a month, consisting of only around 14 lectures—and honestly, I didn't gain much practical knowledge. Later, I learned from a student already working at the company that some of the projects allegedly had no real clients.
5️⃣ No trace of stipend
When we completed the assigned project exactly as instructed and requested a stipend, the company owner said, "This wasn't what they wanted" and promised to share updated requirements and documents—and that the stipend would be provided after the revised work. But despite repeated follow-ups, there has been no proper response to date.
📌 Some More Important Incidents
Incident 1:
A student officially hired by our college reported that his team completed and delivered a project in 40 days—but reportedly never received payment. According to him, whenever payment was requested, the company simply stopped responding.
Incident 2:
We contacted a former employee of the company. As soon as we introduced ourselves, their immediate response was:
“Leave the company as soon as possible. There's no future for you there.”
Incident 3:
We invested time and effort on a project that allegedly had no real client. When we later asked for a stipend, we were told the work was unsatisfactory and new documents would be shared. But even after waiting and following up—no clear communication came.
I'm sharing this experience to encourage other students to be cautious before investing in internship or training programs—especially when promised a guaranteed stipend and placement.
