As someone who recently completed Scaler Academy's Data Science course, I'd like to share my honest experience. The course material provided a solid foundation in data science concepts, covering everything from basic principles to advanced techniques.... Read More However, I found some topics to be slightly rushed, making it challenging to grasp complex concepts thoroughly. Maybe because I was not well versed in the topics, it can be a personal hurdle, you guys may not face this if you understand the topics. On the positive side, the mentor support was exceptional. The mentors were knowledgeable and provided valuable insights, although I sometimes wished for more frequent interactions and personalized guidance. Additionally, while the placement support did assist me in securing a data analyst position, I found the job opportunities presented to be somewhat limited in scope. Furthermore, the instructors brought a wealth of industry experience to the table, enhancing the learning experience with real-world examples. However, there were instances where the pace of the lectures felt too fast, making it difficult to absorb the material fully. Overall, my experience with Scaler Academy was positive, albeit with some areas for improvement. The course provided a solid foundation in data science, and the mentorship and instructor expertise were valuable assets. However, there is room for enhancement in certain aspects, such as course pacing and the availability of better offline support as well.

I joined Scaler a year ago. I have spent lakhs of rupees on my degree and it was of no use at all. I spent a fraction of that here and I was able to recover that in my first salary.

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.
