Scaler Academy Review

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.

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.

Every fortnight, I would have one-on-one sessions with my mentor,  Ashutosh Agrawal  from  Vis...

For Founders Anshuman and Abhimanyu, it was their love for computer science that brought them to IIITH. The entrepreneurial bug caught the duo early in 2008 while still on campus which resulted in them starting their own ventures "Daksh" - a home automation system prototype, "Campus Bhopu" - a precursor of sorts to Facebook, along with their bactchmate Jayraj Bhattacharya. Although their ventures were a success, after graduation they went on to pursue corporate jobs where Anshuman was hired by Facebook and Abhimanyu joined Fab.com. Four years into their respective jobs, the duo decided to quit in 2014, and founded InterviewBit .  With their vision of bridging the gap between university education and industry requirements which became apparent after interviewing multiple candidates in their respective companies, they launched Interviewbit in 2015. IB which Abhimanyu refers to as a "massive public library of programming problems" which is a suc...
