An Honest, Relevant review and wakeup Call: My Scaler Academy Experience

Image
Here's what our Scaler Prateek Shukla, student of the first batch at Scaler Academy, has to share about his learning and experience, "One incident that really changed my preparation game was when I travelled all the way to Bangalore for Unacademy tech round, but completely ruined it and got rejected in the 6th round. I realised my mentor  yashasvi girdhar  sir repeatedly guiding me that “It will hurt very bad if you miss an opportunity because of ignoring theory concepts”, but I never paid enough attention. I was very disappointed. But I learned an important lesson that day-Always trust the guidance of your mentor. He will sail you through. Read his complete story: Link If there are 2 people whom I cannot thank enough for endless support and guidance, then it would be my Student Success manager  Vinod Kumar Chandrabhan  sir and my mentor Yashasvi sir.

From being in an uncertain territory to reaching certainty in coding , Scaler Suryakant Sharma shares his journey with us, "When I joined Scaler Academy, my coding profile was decent, and I felt confident about the questions I knew. But my first mock interview was an eye-opener - I realized I was underprepared, and still had a lot to learn. I owe it to my mentor and my Teaching Assistant,  Ravi Raushan  Sir, who inspired me to not get discouraged, and work harder. I spoke to my instructors at Scaler Academy. They trusted my potential and asked me to work on my skills so that I could land at a much better place. Read his complete review: Link I kept interacting with my coordinator,  Krupali Dudhat  Ma’am, and sent emails to Ajay Sir, constantly seeking guidance and support.

Despite no engineering degree from a tier-I college, Scaler Harsh Yadav today has a job on the product side at Delhivery. When asked to review our program & his experience with Scaler Academy, here's what he has to share, “The single most attractive thing about the course was that it promised to make us ‘industry-ready’ which is perhaps the biggest limitation in most colleges today. We had never approached problems that way before, we just had no clue about certain things. We learned how to solve many different kinds of questions, without wondering how tough this or that would be, for example, trees had always seemed tough but now, it seems like just another topic and I have Scaler Academy to thank for that. Read his complete story:  Link My mentor,  Pulkit Aggarwal , however, stuck with me and approached me from his own end after that. We sat down, and he constantly motivated me to help with how I approached interviews. If I have to thank anybody, he would be right on to

It fills us with pride to watch our Scaler's achieving milestones in their life and choose to give back to the community by providing a helping hand to fellow coders with their mentorship. Here's one such inspiring journey of our Scaler, Sandeep Sinha Mahapatra, "There was no match for the content that Scaler Academy  provided be it the structure, the topics, the questions. Another thing that really impressed me was the support and the guidance every person at Scaler gave to us. I could reach out to anyone at any point in time, and they would always help me with my queries. I am incredibly grateful to my mentor,  Aniruddha Mukherjee  (ex -  Microsoft   ) from  ServiceNow , for being everything that I wanted in my mentor. He helped me grow not just academically and professionally, but personally as well. Read his Complete Story: Link In my 3 months at Scaler Academy, I learned more than I could have imagined.

My Honest Review: Is Scaler Academy actually worth it ?

We are happy to be sharing the journey of our Scaler Mithlesh Kumar who has recently bagged a job role as an upcoming SDE at PhonePe. Here's what he had to say about his experience with Scaler Academy... "The first thing I noticed was the course - it was very well structured and expansive. Throughout my academic life, I had memorized everything by rote, but I knew this strategy wouldn’t help me succeed or grow in life. So the first few months at Scaler were very important for me as I understood the basics thoroughly. The highly qualified mentors, the teaching assistants, the success managers - everyone was there to help us reach our full potential. To me, Scaler always felt like a family. I could reach anyone at any time and would always receive help. They never turned me away, no matter what time of the day it was. The Mentorship pillar was one of the highlights of the course. Every fortnight, I would have one-on-one sessions with my mentor,  Ashutosh Agrawal  from  Visa . H
