"A Great Upskilling Program If You’re Ready to Put in the Work"

I believe their program is very well-structured, with excellent instructors. Every class includes assignments and homework, and they provide solid support whenever you get stuck. Each module also has tests and mock interviews, which really help in building... Read More

It’s a great course for upskilling. But you should join only if you’re truly committed to working hard and taking the assignments, tests, and mocks seriously. The effort from their side in designing the course is superb, but you also need to give your 100%.

Don’t join if your only intention is to get into a MAANG company. That depends heavily on your performance in tests and mocks, and most importantly, on your previous experience and how well you match the company’s requirements. If you’re a fresher, it’s quite hard to get MAANG interview opportunities through Scaler. However, if you perform really well, you can get many interview opportunities from companies like Swiggy, Furlenco, etc.—but again, it completely depends on your performance. It’s also a great platform for building a strong network.

Overall, it’s a worthwhile one-time investment in upskilling that will benefit you in the long run.

"Uncover your inner potential through Scaler"

I have been fortunate to come across the scaler academy & enrolled Into multiple courses which included AI engineering through IIT Roorkee partnership & the content taught across the programs are of high standard & the trainers expertise on their respective... Read More

One feedback I want to share is on the planning & execution of any new introduction of courses like AI engineering should have been planned better.
First batch had a lot of hiccups in running it smoothly from operations point of view & had not expected from scaler given a high reputation. Though the content delivery from the faculty is of top notch as expected from any scaler courses.
I would recommend scaler to any one who want to up skill whether it’s software engineering or AI or any other courses which scaler offers. Thanks for giving an opportunity to share my feedback.

Scaler’s DSML program is one of the most practical learning experiences I’ve come across. The curriculum focuses on real business problems, not just theory, and the mentors genuinely help you grow instead of just teaching content. The peer community keeps... Read More

"Dark Side of the Scaler"

If you’re evaluating the Scaler app or considering Scaler Academy after seeing ads or videos—be warned. Course access is tied to expensive contracts and loan arrangements, not real support or career advancement. In my case, even major health and life... Read More

The worst part is how they manipulate students’ hopes and career aspirations. They create a false sense of urgency and sell dreams that rarely materialize. Once you’ve paid, the support drastically drops. Refunds? Forget about it — they hide behind convoluted policies that make it nearly impossible to get your money back.

In my opinion, Scaler preys on the desperation and ambition of learners trying to build a better future. It’s more of a business scheme than a genuine educational platform. If you’re considering joining Scaler, I’d strongly urge you to research thoroughly and explore more reputable, value-driven alternatives before investing your hard-earned money

"Scaler - A good place to learn and scale up you carrier."

I was struggling with what to study first , and which concept to study last. I also tried multiple instructors on youtube to learn DSA, System Design but I was always getting distracted. They I found Scaler and I registered for a masterclass regarding... Read More

I joined Scaler Academy in 2023 when I already had 2.5+ years of experience as a Software Developer. I enrolled in their Data Structures & Algorithms program, and right from the beginning, the experience was structured and professional.

Before the course started, I took a short assessment, and based on my performance, I was placed in the Advanced batch. Scaler also provides the flexibility to choose a lower batch if you prefer, which is great for ensuring you learn at your own pace.

Throughout the program, Scaler covered a wide range of DSA concepts, including:

Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks & Queues
Trees & Binary Trees
Graphs
Greedy Algorithms
Backtracking
Dynamic Programming
Along with DSA, they also focus on industry-relevant skills, such as:
SQL
Low-Level Design (LLD)
High-Level Design (HLD)
A full-scale industry project involving Kafka, Microservices Architecture, Redis, and more.

The curriculum is divided into modules, and after each module, there are tests and mock interviews which really help in reinforcing concepts and improving problem-solving skills. After every class you have 6-8 question(Easy , Medium, Hard) to practice your learning.

One thing I truly appreciated was the quality of instructors—most of them come from top tech companies and have deep knowledge of real-world systems. Their teaching style is clear, structured, and practical.
They also provide you assistance if you unable to solve the question.

Scaler also offers strong career support. They have:
Their own job portal
Interview preparation
Resume reviews
An employee referral program that connects you with opportunities at multiple companies

Overall, my experience with Scaler Academy was very positive. It’s a well-rounded program that not only strengthens your fundamentals but also prepares you for real-world engineering challenges. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their skills or aim for better career opportunities in tech.
