I credit Scaler Academy for where I am at today: Review by Software Engineer at Google

Image
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

My Transformational Journey With Scaler Academy- Review By Scaler Ahrarul Haque

We are humbled by the review of our Scaler Ahrarul Haque , "I don't come from a well-off family, and being the eldest of five children, there's always an added pressure to work hard. My introduction to the world of joint entrance exams happened quite late. I was initially into electrical engineering, but later on, I became interested in CSE. I got CSE in a tier-II college, and the first year was spent studying very little. I also tutored school kids, which helped me become self-dependant. After the second year began, I decided I needed to get back on my path. I worked very hard and spent my time studying for the placements. The on-campus scene wasn't so great, and I managed to get into Samsung as a software engineer through an off-campus interview. Interviewbit was one of the most helpful resources to practice and in fact, I had a 200-day streak on the platform!

Scaler Academy Review: Revamping The Online Learning Platform

"When it comes to coding education in colleges beyond the best of tier-I institutions, things have been known to be dismal. This was the problem statement that Scaler by InterviewBit took up when it was launched a couple of years ago. Already a fairly popular interview preparation platform for coders by then, the founders Anshuman Singh and Abhimanyu Saxena touched upon the idea of taking it a step further when they realized the massive gap that existed between industry requirements and college education." Now becoming a household name in the Edtech industry with a solid base of success stories behind it, read the complete review of Scaler Academy by tech story and learn how it has thrived among top online coding platforms.

My Experience with Scaler Academy: SDE 1 at Amazon Scaler Bibhu Prasad Pala

Read the story of our Scaler Bibhu Prasad Pala , from being a Scaler mentee to Software Development Engineer at Amazon in his words. "I am IB Academy Student who recently got placed in Amazon. I will pen down my story! And will leave up to you to decide if it is worthy or not! I was working as an intern (in 8th sem) and work was not great and even my salary was not satisfactory. I tried asking referrals from close friends, seniors, and even strangers. And Finally I got one from very good startup @Fivertran and prepared for weeks and attended the interview but I failed. I was broken because referrals for freshers is a tough job if you are not from IIT or NIT. Now I had no referrals, Soon I found InterviewBit is going to conduct classes and they give referrals and We have to pay after we get placed in our dream companies. I thought It’s a win-win situation. They conduct Entrance test in First Batch I couldn’t get in I tried the second time and I cleared in Second Batch test. Origina

Scaler Ayush Gupta Shares His Amazon Interview Experience

Ayush Gupta hails from a small town in Uttar Pradesh where dreams are only confined to securing a government job or a private job with a decent package. Passionate about coding from early on, he decided to pursue CS from IIT Bombay but was unable to clear it. With his dream shattered, he decided to pursue BSC in Mathematics which gave him a chance to rethink his career choices on completing his graduation. Although he was academically good, securing the first position all over India in the MSc entrance exam for IIT Dhanbad, he decided to take a different turn and pursue MCA from NIT Bhopal. In his pre-final year, he got an opportunity to apply for an internship at Microsoft but couldn't clear the last round. This got him thinking, amidst all the preparation there's something he lacked, when he decided to take up a course and enrolled for our Scaler Academy program. His aspirations of becoming a successful coder took a turn for the better when he landed a job offer as a Sof

From Scaler Academy to Cyware Labs: Review by our Scaler Saurav Gupta

We as a community at Scaler Academy have always believed in providing every software engineer a level playing field and it makes us feel immensely proud of our Scaler mentees like Saurav who help us with our mission. Here is his journey in his very own words... "I come from humble backgrounds. My parents run a vegetable/general store shop, and I have two elder brothers. But I am the only fortunate one in the family whom my parents could afford to send to college. My family has supported me a lot over the years. Initially, I wasn’t even sure which branch would be best for me, so I ended up choosing mechanical, but I switched to Computer Science soon after.  I decided to pursue Scaler Academy, not only were they going to help me get referrals at companies that offered much better packages but also helped me better my programming skills.  The instructors and lecturers were very knowledgeable and kept us engaged - bettering our understanding of the concepts while also motivati
