What immediately attracted me was the feeling of belongingness and learning together with hundreds of like minded people..it almost reminded me of my school days. Will forever value the things I learned at Scaler and a big thank you to my mentor for helping me get to where I am today. Switching fields would not have been possible without his referral.

But then COVID struck and forced us to shut down before we even started. I couldn’t sit idle at home and decided to transition into a developer role by enrolling at Scaler. Then reality hit hard… my skills were outdated. Starting again from scratch wasn’t easy but my instructors weren’t just teachers; they were my guiding compass, pointing me towards data structures and algorithms through a maze...Each day I sat down with my laptop, determined to master DSA. I coded, solved problems, and pushed my limits. End result being that I got a new beginning after thinking I has lost everything. Forever grateful to all my teachers who are my literal gurus, my mentor, my TAs, and the placement team for giving me another chance.

I was told that they are helping people build their skills to reach the product based companies so I went all in.

But if I am being honest, it was toooo hectic man! I was working and it was really hard for me to like take out time everyday. I don’t think I ever attended a live class because they had classes on weekdays and all my days during the week were packed with work.Overall3.0Curriculum4.0Job support3.0Instructors5.0 -

While the DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) module is exceptionally well-structured and in-depth, the program goes far beyond that.
The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to include not only core DSA concepts but also frontend, backend, full-stack development, High-Level Design (HLD), and even data engineering modules. This holistic approach ensures that learners are not just prepared for coding interviews but are also equipped with real-world development skills required in the industry.
Each topic is broken down into a step-by-step learning path, making even complex concepts easier to understand. The combination of theory, hands-on practice, and real-world applications helps reinforce learning and builds confidence over time.
One of the standout aspects of the course is the strong support system. The teaching assistants (TAs) are highly responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Their guidance plays a crucial role in clarifying doubts and keeping learners on track.
Additionally, the structured curriculum, regular assessments, and active peer community create a motivating and disciplined learning environment. Whether you're a beginner or someone looking to upskill, Scaler Academy offers a well-rounded experience that prepares you for both technical interviews and practical software development challenges.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

One of the best aspects of the program is the community and alumni network. Students can interact with peers, discuss problems, and learn from people who are already working in the industry. This makes the learning process less isolated.
The platform also provides tools to track job applications and helps students connect with companies during the job search process. For someone transitioning into software development, this structure and support system can be very helpful.
Overall, it is a good learning environment if you are willing to stay consistent and actively participate in the community.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

I joined Scaler's full-time course where I learned a lot about programming and system design. The mentors and teachers were really helpful, especially Abhimanyu and Anshuman. I'm thankful for the support of mentors Punit Agarwal, Kshitij, Utkarsh, and TA Prateik. Unexpectedly, even the job hunting process was pretty smooth and I got placed at Unraveldata. Kinda proud of how far I have come and thanks to Scaler for their support along the way.
