Scaler Academy Review

Karan Kanwal graduated as a Mechanical Engineer from a Tier 3 college, ran a business for a year post his graduation and then began his preparations for Bank PO exams. His inclination to learn coding and bettering his skills made him join Scaler Academy . Today, he holds an offer as a software engineer from one of India's best startups, ShareChat!

The only thing that matters is the tech skills you have. If you keep learning and keep pushing yourself to get better, no one can stop you from reaching your goals, be it a dream job at a large tech company or founding a company of your own. Thanks to many startup leaders like ShareChat to make it a meritocratic system.  Once you've achieved your goal, we believe it is important to help others follow suit.

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 moti...

We are delighted to share the journey of our Scaler Swapnil Mahajan, who is soon going to join Google as a software engineer. He perfectly exemplifies the saying "When Hard work meets Not-giving up attitude and right guidance, Great things happen!" Presenting his Journey in his own words.. "Despite being a 6 star coder on codechef, a candidate master on codeforces, and an ICPC regionalist, my story is as imperfect as it can get! I had no internship in college. I faced rejections in Microsoft, Codenation, Directi. In Fact I even considered CAT as an option. So trust me, it’s not clarity but the Not-giving-up attitude and passion that paves the way to big things in life.Clarity isn’t Everything, Trust me, I am Googler! " Read our Scaler Swapnil Mahajan's complete journey in his own words, where he shares how he began his preparation from scratch, motivation amongst failures during the journey, secrets to his not-giving up attitude, the contrib...

While we believe the success of an online learning experience, is in which students and faculty are effectively engaged and challenged.  And to achieve a high quality learning environment, an institution's vision, experience in one's domain, collaborative efforts and understanding of the student's journey play an important role, which is what we've thrived through our Educational  Institution. Read What our Scaler's Had to Share About Their Ongoing Journey at Scaler Academy... 1) Naman Bhalla: From Tier 3 College to Google "I have been privileged to have been guided by people like Anshuman, Abhimanyu and looking forward to use these learnings while building a strong career ahead!

It gives us great pleasure to share the journey of our Scaler, Ajitesh Kumar, who joined Amazon as a Programmer Analyst. Here He Shares His Experience With Us In His Very Own Words ... "I was born and brought up in Jamshedpur and for a long period of time, we had no financial support since my father is not alive, so it was very difficult for me to complete my B tech. My uncle helped us with my education fees. When I was in 10th/11th standard, I needed to focus more on science and had to sideline computers. I didn’t like the idea since I loved computers but had to do it as the marks required for getting admission in a nice college depended on it.  I always loved coding, I got my first computer when I was aged 6. My father couldn’t afford the computer at that time but somehow he managed to arrange 20K to buy that computer. It’s still at my place, although nobody uses it. I prepared for IIT but couldn’t clear it in my first attempt so I took a drop, then tried again bu...
