I interned for a company called as XXX or XXX (End to End Marketing Platform. It takes a large number of work-from-home interns from IITs and other top colleges and gives them tasks in various domains. In the middle of the internship when you’ve done some work, they’ll say your performance is poor and release you without any pay. I did the work what was assigned to me and the CEO YYY gave more work which I couldn't complete in time, but he released me off saying that I didn't do the extra one which wasn’t mentioned in the job description. Till today he hasn’t given me any money nor any certificate. I don’t know what to do! I haven't met any of them but I signed NDA and offer letters. Can you'll help me on this?

The simplest way is to lodge a complaint with your local police station under Cheating, Indian Penal Code. Also, there was a clear violation of the Information Technology Act. There may be a few more cases out there. Search the net for such cases and show the officer that too.
Additionally, show the same to your area labor inspector. Visit the PF and ESI departments as well. All such compliances are also not met by these companies normally, so you can catch them there. For coverage and other information on such acts, see the website below as I cannot list all here.

Dear Candidate,
It takes a large number of work-from-home interns from IITs = Correct
In the middle of the internship when you’ve done some work, they’ll say your performance is poor = Incorrect
1. Will someone accept that if he/she has actually not performed !! You are live example, How you proof you have actually worked as per desired results.
2. Most of our internships are posted in groups of minimum 3 candidates, we compare your work with other candidates and only if you have done very pathetic with respect to your peers, we hold candidate's stipend.
gave more work which I couldn't complete in time = Most probably he has given you second chance to perform and you have accepted on own that you have failed even in that second chance.
drop your details to
, we will issue certificate to you immediately not matter even if you have not performed, but to motivate you
you are mistaking project detail document as offer letter, Offer letter is generally for part/full time employees.
Can you'll help me on this? = Yes, we will drop details to

Depending on the terms and conditions of the NDA, offer letter, and any other written communication between you and the company, your next course of action can be decided.

You need to take it up with the placement in charge of your college. As per your post, many students have some or other problems with the company. All of you need to report the issue to the placement in charge and request to have this company banned from your college to prevent future mishaps. Additionally, you should send this resolution to all the IITs so that they can also consider taking similar action. An intern not being paid reflects poorly on the organization's value system. An intern is an on-the-job trainee and requires mentoring to complete tasks. They are not employees. If an intern's performance is subpar, the issue lies with the mentor, not the intern. Your college should also communicate with the company regarding the inadequate quality of mentorship and strongly urge them to provide certificates and stipends as agreed upon.

How are these schemes any different from other so-called "work from home" scams. I have posted many, many times warning people not to engage in any "work from home" schemes, as they are almost certainly scams. A lot of them have been advertised on CiteHR over the years.
I would be interested to hear from any member who has been successful with this sort of work. However, I strongly suspect many of you have been cheated.
