Scaler

I decided to make this change because I've always been interested in the core tech field. When the opportunity came up this year, I knew I had to take it. To navigate this change, I committed to learning every day alongside my job, even dedicating entire... Read More weekends to it. I chose Scaler Academy because they provided the guidance I needed from experienced professionals like Ayush Giri, whose insights were invaluable. My top recommendation for anyone considering a similar transition is to assess if they have the time to commit. You'll need at least 2-3 hours every day and consistency to succeed.

Here's my review of Scaler Academy...After completing my BTech in Computer Science, I joined TCS. But, as I settled in corporate, I realized I had to catch up with the tech. I ended up enrolling in Scaler Academy's DSML course to upgrade my skills. It's... Read More been great so far, but I must mention that Scaler is a bit expensive, and it does require a good chunk of your time. Apart from that, the course has improved my problem-solving and interview skills, thanks to mock sessions. The mentorship from industry experts was great, and the supportive peer community was a big help. Now, honestly i'm more confident in handling large datasets. Is it worth it? Yes, if you know what you want as an outcome.

Best way to answer this questions is to make a pros and cons list (coming from a former Scalerite): The PROS: I became hands-on with industry-ready skills through a very well-defined course format. Saved me hours of watching random YouTube videos. My... Read More communication skills improved tremendously by participating in mock-up interviews with my personal mentor. I got a major confidence boost from Scaler’s motivating environment that made me into the problem solver that I am today. Eventually, I was successful in landing a job as a product development engineer at Razor Pay. Happy ending! Now the CONS: Course is on the pricier side. It was a significant investment for me, considering the financial strains that I have experienced in my life. They have an EMI option though, so you can opt for that if you’re not in a place to invest financially at one go… To pursue this course, I had to juggle between the course and a full-time job which was quite hectic and challenging for me. Go all in only if you can make the time - then it’s worth it. Lastly, all I would say is to be sure when you are getting into this course. I consider the course worth the money, but it all depends on how well you manage and make the most of it for your benefit. Even if you're just beginning, remember that every small step toward your goal matters. Begin by solving just one problem each day, and you'll get there before you know it!

The Scaler journey has been nothing short of transformative for my career. Over 6-8 months, I dedicated myself in the curriculum, and the results were amazing. I ended up getting 400% hike post Scaler. Mentoring throughout the course was something that... Read More was invaluable. My mentor not only helped me on technical aspects but also gave a lot of confidence to crack interviews. One thing that works is the job referrals. I got referrals in companies like Microsoft, Slice, and Arcesium. Overall, this course has was a game-changer, not just in terms of skill development but also in unlocking new career. If I need to review Scaler Academy, then it's difficult, slightly expensive but if your goal is clear then it's one of the best platforms out there.

Being from a non-CSE background and having given a greater part of my initial career to preparing for GATE preparation and then later UPSC civil services , I knew it would require a great deal to make this transition to IT. I began learning on my own... Read More but the motivation would hardly sustain for more than a few days. That’s when Scaler happened. Along with technical skills and knowledge, I built a routine of learning which I thought to be hard initially. I developed a curiosity to learn and keep updating myself. The journey wasn’t always smooth. Learning core IT concepts felt like insurmountable brain blocks. That was perhaps where Scaler helped me the most. The availability of TA support round the clock and a community who assisted me in learning made the process a tad easier to navigate. If I had to do it all over again, I would still choose Scaler.

I believe the company is spending more on the excessive advertisements through social media rather than their Course. You would receive multiple calls daily while you are about to Purchase course. Once you are enrolled, you'll get just one orientation... Read More session. And after that, you'll get only a few feedback calls that too once a month, they don't really care whether you are really attending the classes or not. The course is very expensive given what is being taught and the classes are quite long with more number of students per batch. On top of that they don't provide you the course for lifetime it is valid for a limited duration of around 8 to 9 months in which you have to study otherwise the contents would be accessible to you.

Going from Wipro to Microsoft was a big change for me, and Scaler Academy helped a lot. It was tough to find the time and money, but joining Scaler Academy was totally worth it. When I was at Wipro, I wanted better chances to grow and a group of people... Read More who could help me. Scaler Academy gave me exactly that - mentors, friends, and chances to learn. I studied hard every day and got better at coding because of it. Even though it was hard and I had to give up some things, I kept going. Going from Wipro to Microsoft was like a dream, and Scaler Academy made it happen. In hindsight, the decision to enroll in Scaler Academy was one of the best I’ve made. The returns on investment, both professionally and personally, have been immeasurable. If you’re passionate about coding and driven to achieve more in your career, Scaler Academy is certainly worth considering.

As I currently work at Paypal,, I can’t help but think what a journey it has been to reach here. I recall the late nights that I used to spend working on myself. Back when I was working in my previous company, I was taking classes at Scaler as well and... Read More let me tell you, it almost felt like I was pursuing two jobs at the same time. But nonetheless, the things that I have learned in these months would never have come through otherwise. I learned to work my way around DSA, HLD, and LLD so well, especially the former. I used to be so confused with DSA but after practicing so intensively, I can see a noticeable difference. Apart from theory, I also learned how to communicate with companies and how to negotiate offers with different companies - which is something just as important as the main course itself, because that’s what ultimately determine your position in your career. For someone who was just starting out professionally in this field, it was a relief to have real-time guidance that helped me understand this industry inside out.

Scaler is worth of just 50k to 1L. Their teaching is fine but with few instructors only. They dont give any notes and that makes it difficult for preparation for tests and during interviews. Scaler allows to take a month pause, but will put you in different... Read More batch and the whole mess starts from there. Module tests related to new batch will be shown in dashboard as failed though we have cleared. Even for MS program they are not giving notes. When you raise tickets for any issues, they give simply generic answer and close the ticket. Overall, it's average only, definitely it worth of 3L for sure. If your experience is above 10 years, forget scaler. Mentors are useless and can't able to guide anything...This course is for freshers and less than 5 years experience guys only.

DSA is good, but they don't have good service, no transparency in the curriculum, waste of money, don't have option to choose the instructor, don't have option to choose the course. They started the course from python I learn python and practice DSA in... Read More python, then in advanced topic move to Java without clearing the basic of Java, most of topic is over your head becouse you don't know how to write code in Java. And then you feel you are just paying emi of course that is almost 3lakh, and that is useless, I recommend go to udemy or any other platform to upskill I will never recommend scaler to any one, it's waste of money and time 😔 use your money and time wisely. In IT world your skill help you grap a job, not help you any fake promises. They are very good into marketing and selling the course. I suggest go to other platform see their review
