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,  from Visa.

He was incredibly supportive throughout the course. In fact, I still reach out to him from time to time."

Scaler Academy Learner, Anshul Jain shares her learning experience with us: "During my BTech and MTech years at Delhi’s Bhagwan Parshuram Institute of Technology (BPIT) and Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) respectively, I particularly enjoyed working on problems and learning more about Data Structures and Algorithms. In fact, I have been extremely interested in DS and Algo since high school. However, as much as I enjoyed my classes in college, I always felt the syllabus was too theoretical and that the teaching could have been more industry-specific. Later, while working at CaaStle in my first job as a front-end developer, I saw an ad for Scaler on Facebook and I immediately registered for the program. I used to attend DS and Algo coaching classes in college as well, hence, I knew that additional training would really hone my skills. In addition to DS and Algo training, I wanted to learn more about System Design as well at Scaler Academy. Check out the complete Review...

Introduction to Pointers in C

What are Pointers in C?  A pointer is a variable that holds the address of another variable. A pointer is a derived data type in C. All the computers have addressable memory locations. The value of these variables is stored in these memories only. We can access these values of the variable in 2 ways: (i) By using the name of the variable. (ii) By using the address of a variable. The use of pointers are made in the second method Values stored in pointers are addresses, where data is stored in memory. Example:           int i = 8;           i → name of the variable           8 → value at address           65599 → address in the memory. How to Use Pointers in C? If we declare a variable i of type int, it will store a value.  int i = 0 The value of i is 0 now However, each variable, apart from value, also has its own address (or the address of the location where the value is saved i...
