I am an Ex- Made Easy student and deeply believe that it is only a money making machine. From the first day of course till the end, it was only the money that mattered to these people. I joined Made Easy Lucknow centre, as it was near my college. I don't feel it was worth the effort I put in joining that. Effort mainly because we fought with college authorities to open college gate after the closing time and also left the hostel for the same. Made Easy is not concerned with children's future at any stage, atleast I didn't feel so. Without completing the course even for once, they started revising the same subjects again, why? According to them, it was because they don't have faculty. We pay such a large amount of fees, to repeat the same subjects (even when other important subjects have not been covered) because they don't have faculty?

Many would feel that they provide good teachers and it can be clearly seen from their result. They usually provide top rankers. I would also agree that they provide good teachers (about 50%), but the teacher that teaches in Made Easy does not teach only there. My friend from other coaching institute told that they were also taught by the same teacher. Its not that faculty is exclusively for Made Easy, good teachers are also present in other coaching centres. And as far as the result is concerned, no doubt they produce top rankers, but what if everyone joins Made Easy? If every one does that, top ranker would also be from Made Easy, even if he would have also been the topper without this institute. My basic point is that Made Easy gives top rankers only because they have more students than other coaching institutes. In terms of percentage top rankers compared to the total number of students in the coaching, I can guarantee that Made Easy would rank the lowest.

As far as caring about its students is concerned, which coaching would give discount to non Made Easy student, but will have problem in providing discount to their own students? That is purely a promotional tactic, assuming that Made Easy student would join their test series even without discount (after 3 years), so they distribute discount codes to Non made- Easy students for promoting themselves. I have completed my B. Tech from govt college and M. Tech. From IIT, but they have problem in providing me discount, rather they can provide discount to some random student from my previous college (Yes, they distributed discount codes in my college for free). Why? Because that will get them extra money, and providing discount to me neither provides them extra name to boast in case selected, nor extra money.

I joined Aakash for cracking IIT-JEE (also money making machine, but cared for students), and Made Easy to crack GATE (only money making machine, no care for students). I would recomment Aakash coaching to anyone, but would never recommend Made Easy to anyone.

I wanted to sell some of my old but unused stuff, and thought of trying estashee for the same. It is the worst site I could ever imagine. No, not because my products didn't get sold, but because of genuine reasons. My listing got uploaded after a week and that too with incomplete details. After that I edited it but as it is needed to be reviewed again, it is still under review since about 20 days. Can you imagine that!

Also, I mailed them, not once but thrice, regarding some doubts I had concerning their overall process. It has been about a month now, yet I haven't received any reply till date. I know that one of my mail was read as I usually track my mails, but there was no reply even to that. The remaining 2 were not even opened.

Don't know what this site is for, if it actually works or is dead! I personally would never sell or purchase anything from this site as there is no customer support. As far as there is no issue, it might feel good, but in case of any problem, I am sure that I would not get back my money or product.

Few people would not trust me on that. So, as a suggestion, I would advise everyone to send a mail to them(regarding any random doubt) before purchase or sell, to check if you would ever get any reply in case of need. I guess you won't but in case you do, please let me know as well. That might change my opinion as well.

Another big mistake of mine to purchase something from Paytm. I recently purchased a product from Paytm worth Rs 7530 with cashback of Rs 3500. And got a lucky lifafa along with it containing paytm gold worth Rs 101. It could have been anything from a 20% off coupon to gold. Also, that was not a part of cashback, but as a separate offer, which was not even required. But due to some issue with the product, I returned it and got the refund for the same. However, the refund I got was not what I actually paid. The total amount received in my wallet was Rs 101 less than that. Paytm itself decided to convert my cash to paytm gold without my permission. What would they have done if I would not have received gold, but any coupon in its place. They would have cancelled the coupon and not deducted the coupon amount from the wallet. But in case of gold, they decide to let me keep gold instead of refunding my money as it would benefit them. How can they decide to convert my money to some useless paytm gold which requires a minimum amount of gold(more than 1000 times of what I received) to be present in the account for withdrawal. Also, I would have to pay the convenience charge for its withdrawal. I contacted them regarding the same, and they tell me that gold can't be converted to cashback. What the hell? Cashback? I am just asking my money back, money that I paid myself, not cashback. But I am not hoping to get it back anymore.

Till few months ago, i. E. before paytmmall came into existence, I would have recommended this site to everyone myself, but as per the present scenario, I would not want anyone to get cheated by paytm. Please do not get bluffed by Paytm gold offers and read all the terms and conditions carefully before every purchase. It might change anytime.

Also, if you are thinking that your problems would be solved by contacting them, it would never be possible. I have tried calling them for several issues, waited for hours, but line never got connected. They do respond to email, but only once. If you are not satisfied with their reply and reply them back, there would not be any other reply from there side. I recently messaged them on facebook, and haven't received any reply there as well.

I am attaching the image of the refund details as proof of the problem I faced.
