Joined Scaler to learn DSA as I am not from Computer Engg background. They have the best instructors from Google, Amazon and other top product companies. I got a lot of help from my mentor regarding interview preparation and side projects.
The homework... Read More questions really improved my skills and confidence. You can schedule a call with a TA who will explain any problem if you are stuck.

Hi, I am Abhishek Gupta and I believe I can answer this question. It's been 3 months at Scaler and it has been a pretty great experience.

I was working with service-based companies after my graduation from HBTI, Kanpur, and wanted to switch to the product... Read More side of things and do some world-class work that actually made a difference. Having been active on the InterviewBit platform and following Abhimanyu Saxena (one of the co-founders) for a while, I got to know about the Scaler Academy programme when it was first introduced.

My inclination towards joining happened after I came across a story of one of my college juniors who had started working at Google post Scaler. I asked him about the course curriculum and details, and after hearing good things, I decided to give it a go as well.

I joined the Jan 2021 batch, and within 3 months of some of the finest learning and guidance, I have managed to bag some great job opportunities. When I had confusion about the fees structure, someone from the team quickly guided me and I also managed to get the scholarship that they have on offer.

About the last three months, I can say that I have improved a lot. I now approach problems very differently. They taught me that even the most difficult-seeming problems can be solved using simple approaches and we don’t always need complex Data Structures. Previously, I was learning a little about various things but after the right guidance, I am more focused on what is more important. The structured path has been super helpful.

My mentor and I connect every two weeks for mock interviews and he guides me through the resume building and things that I should focus on. Overall, the experience with the teachers and everyone else at Scaler Academy has been amazing.

It was a wonderful experience. Especially with the well structured curriculum of relevant tech stacks. The mentors are all industry experienced professionals. The placement support provided by scaler is also excellent.

The only con I have is about a few... Read More external interviewers who didn't seem so enthusiastic from the beginning of the interview itself. Irrespective of that most were helpful and positive.

My journey with Scaler began in June 2023 when I joined the DSML course. The teaching and case studies provided me with both theoretical and practical understanding of the concepts. Moreover, the doubt sessions, along with the classes and the exceptional... Read More pedagogy, explained the toughest concepts in the simplest terms.

Very well designed and structured course. I attended the Scaler Academy batch. The course is a must do for anyone who needs a support and help to get upto the speed with software engineering basics. The curriculum and community is designed very well to... Read More help students succeed.
If fees can be reduced, it can cater to many more people who needs it the most. I hope scaler team works on this.

Curriculum is comprehensive, so comprehensive that i left it in middle but if one is self motivated enough its good for them.
Problems given on platform are good one and support system is there to help you if you stuck anywhere.
I don't know about about... Read More job support as I was not eligible but still i get email about openings so rating is 4/5
Instructors are good in live classes. but this is expensive course and its not magical it just show you way to crack interviews but in the end you have to walk on those path.

Scaler helped me to become more confident in problem solving. With the number of problems they have in their curriculum, helps students to diagnose the patterns of different problems. Apart from that, my mentor was extremely helpful. His constant guidance... Read More helped me in my journey.

According to me, one of the greatest strengths of Scaler has to be its curriculum.

The next best thing has to be the Instructors of the Scaler team. They are not only exceptional teachers but also are highly skilled professionals working for the best companies... Read More in the industry.

Mentorship is another great thing through which I could get a lot of insight on my technical skills and also on my career as a whole.
Once in a mock interview, I had a very good experience with one of the mentor who was working for Google who gave me a great feedback on my problem solving as I could not solve.

I really like and appreciate few of the initiatives taken by Scaler apart from their regular curriculum given the current job market in order to help students succeed in their careers.
TCT(Technical competency test), Revision notes, Inteview packets(compiled interview experiences of students), WhatsApp groups for students based on their persona, Holiday study plans are few of them.
These initiatives have really helped me in being consistent in my effort to secure a job despite the job market.

As for me, the negative experience I had was a Resume review session with a mentor where he was not aligned with the guidelines that I was taught to format my resume.

The other downside would be the Sales representative who makes fake promises to students to join the program. Of course the program offered by Scaler is outstanding but it should be pitched in a proper manner by Sales team.

I also secured a job through Scaler.

Finally, I would say that the program is excellent and I have benefited greatly from it.
