Scaler

really like the curriculum and teaching faculty at Scaler. They explain concepts very well and also clarify doubts even after the sessions, which has been really helpful in my case.

My only suggestion is regarding the course duration — it feels quite long... Read More and can be difficult for working professionals to manage. It would be great if this aspect could be reconsidered.

Thanks.

The advantage is that you will learn a alot and come out with confidence. The disadvantage is that you need to spend the time to learn with focus because it takes lot of time to complete the course like almost an year. You need to stay focussed without... Read More any distraction throughout the journey. We can have morning or evening sessions based on our availability and the good part they provide all the notes and practice sessions.

I have been associated with Scaler for over a couple of years. I truly appreciate the effort that the instructors and staff put into building and delivering the courses. However, I feel there is significant scope for improvement in several areas. Instructors... Read More should be thoroughly well versed in the topics they teach, the curriculum should be continuously updated with recent developments, especially given the rapid pace of AI, TA availability should be improved, stronger mentors should be onboarded, and above all, Scaler’s support system needs major improvement.

Scaler has had a positive impact on my life, and I am thankful to all the instructors and staff for that. At the same time, one cannot rely solely on any online platform to upskill, personal effort is always essential. Lastly, I would like Scaler to make its courses more affordable for the Indian masses and to explore ways to ensure that students gain maximum learning and become employment ready upon completion.

Enrolling in Scaler for DSA and Advanced Frontend Development was the best decision for my career. The structured path in JS and React helped me fill in my knowledge gaps and made me a much better developer. I’m now much more confident in tackling complex... Read More system designs and coding interviews. Great mentors and a very relevant curriculum.

Pros- We can elevate our career by upskilling with this course and get proper mentorship from the experts and also community help is there.

Cons- Difficult to manage the courses time line with a full time job. It should be more flexible to pause the course.... Read More

When I came to scaler, I was unsure about my skills and was not confident generally when it comes to approaching technical problems. After attending classes and listening to instructors who are very competent and industry relevant, I felt myself change... Read More a lot in my approach to dealing with complex technical problems and in time being in a situation where I stopped being intimidated by the same. This was a huge change in perspective after spending time with really good TAs and Instructors who helped me reach a level where the foundations are very solid that I would be able to face interviews, talk about solutions in a more intuitive way.

I want to share this feedback with you directly. In December 2022, I joined Scaler after securing a placement from Masai School just six months prior. Initially, I declined your calls since I had just joined a company, but after six months, your sales... Read More person contacted me again. At that time, I was already paying EMIs for Masai’s pay-after-placement model and had other personal loans. I told you I couldn’t afford another EMI or down payment, but your sales person convinced me, promising that with your placements, I’d clear my debts quickly. Trusting scaler, I took a ₹20,000 loan for the down payment and began managing the EMIs. The course began in December 2023, and though it was 11 months, I paused for 3 months for some personal reason. When I resumed, my DSA module, including mock tests and interviews, was incomplete. I finished all requirements by July 2024, but only completed DSA in December 2024. Afterward, I applied for placements. Despite building my resume with your guidance, I was rejected at the resume stage in about 20 companies. You provided no meaningful help or feedback—no guidance on improving my resume—so I never reached any interviews. While your DSA and full-stack content was solid, your placement support was severely lacking. I paid around ₹2,44,000, and with interest, nearly ₹3,50,000, yet received no placement. This is the honest and direct feedback I want to give you.

I completed a course at Scaler Academy, and I must say the course structure, curriculum, and teaching quality are well-designed. The classes are structured, mentors are knowledgeable, and the learning resources are helpful for understanding concepts.... Read More

However, my experience with job placement support was disappointing. I come from a Commerce background, not a Computer Science degree. During enrollment, it was communicated that degree background would not be a major barrier after completing the course, but in reality, this became a significant issue.

After completing the course, I applied to around 50 jobs through the Scaler portal, but I did not receive any offers. I also noticed that many students and working professionals faced similar challenges in getting placed.

Another concern is that Scaler offers a ₹200 voucher for posting positive reviews, which makes it difficult to trust the authenticity of many highly positive reviews available online.

Overall, the learning experience is good, but if your main goal is job placement, especially without a Computer Science degree, you should think carefully and do thorough research before joining.
Now, based on this experience, you can decide whether this course is right for you or not.
