No filters. No fake promises. Real learners telling you what changed, on camera and in their own writing.

From Internship Experience to Industry Expertise

I had done internships in Data Science and AI, but when it came to software development jobs, I still felt stuck. My resume had plenty of things on it, but I couldn’t confidently show what I could actually build. That changed with Meritshot. The hands-on projects, Python, backend development and AI/LLM work finally gave me something I was missing, the confidence to say, “Yes, I can actually do this.” Today, I’m working as a Software Developer at TCL.

Khushi Pal

Software Developer, TCL

A Good Job Can Still Feel Like a Career Ceiling.

On paper the role was fine. Cloud security, a solid team, work I was good at. That was the problem — I was good at it, and I had quietly stopped learning. The Cybersecurity with Gen AI program went after the depth rather than the resume: the advanced concepts I had always routed around, and security projects where the work was real instead of illustrative. Meritshot didn’t just add skills to my resume. It gave me the confidence to stop settling for the role I had and start working toward the role I actually wanted.

Aditya Choudhary

Cyber Security Engineer, Microsoft

Cybersecurity with Gen AI

Too Technical for Marketing. Not Technical Enough for Engineering.

My digital marketing internships overshadowed my technical background. I knew programming, networking and cybersecurity, but had little real engineering work to show. Meritshot’s SDE program helped me build with cloud, Python and system design giving me the practical proof my degree alone couldn’t.
