Pros and Cons of Scaler Academy | Real experience of Scaler Alumni | Is it worth it? 🤔🤔

- Hi there!
If you want to know an honest Scaler Academy review and wonder whether it is worth your time and money, what its pros and cons are, and what it’s like to be part of this program - then this video is for you.
We have with us 3 Scaler Alumni - who promised me complete honesty and transparency in the video, and trust me - I pushed them to bring out all the cons as well! I am hoping you will get enough insight into the inner workings of Scaler Academy as we touch upon topics like its curriculum, classes, teachers, placements and more - it was a good sneak peek for me at least!
While these are only three, Scaler claims to have thousands of happy alumni in top companies such as Google, Amazon and Microsoft etc. In fact, in a blog, the company said that Amazon hired more from them than all IITs combined last year and that really impressed and fascinated me! The claims have been substantiated by students as well and here are some highly relevant links that I found while browsing across the web in case you want to check. In fact, there are many such reviews spread across sites like Quora and LinkedIn as well!
This video turned out to be very different from what I had imagined. Did you like it? Tell me in the comments!

The video was very Great and the question the host asked was too good and the way the alumni answered them was awesome as it gave us a glimpse of what happens at Scalar. Overall it is a wonderful video. Thank you for making this video
This looks like a sponsored video from Scaler. YT shows on top left it "Includes Promoted Content". Hugely disappointed
Why I think Scaler will be helpful
1. Guided learning.
2. Mentorship.
3. Projects.
4. Referrals.
However, Scaler marketing/sales team should improve. My experience was bad.
For example, the executive asked me to rate myself in DSA, I rated high like 8 on 10. The response was "Really? Are you sure?"
Also the executive asked me "Can you create a low level design of Paytm?" and the executive was clearly not qualified to ask that question based on his answers. That was very humiliating for me. The executive was very rude because I was busy and had not picked up the call as I was busy.
Scaler would have helped me. I almost had made the payment. Just because of this bad experience/humiliation, I told myself that I will clear the interviews without Scaler.
This motivated me to complete my preparations in few weeks and get a very good offer. For me, referrals were not an issue as the recruiters had already messaged me.
Scaler is definitely helpful, especially for the fresh grads. However, the sales team needs to improve a lot.
Hey if you don't mind, when did you graduate?
And is scaler comparable to MS? And how is your career? Is it like it puts you somewhere equal to BTech CS/IT undergraduate?
@@Tiger212-h7c I graduated in 2016.
I love coding. Even if it was not a high paying job, I would be coding.
MS is a totally different path.
Scaler's guided learning helps you get a job in tier 1 companies.
I did B.E in ECE. Branch does not matter once you have experience in IT. I don't think Scaler learning puts you somewhere equal to BTech CS. Scaler helps you bridge the gap and get into top companies by teaching you DSA and SD which are not given importance in BTech.
@@harshithpatte7169 hey harshith I seen one negative video about scaler by one youtuber who have joined scaler but didn't got refferals. Could you tell me more about the refferals
@@vinayakushakola9836 I have seen couple of negative reviews too. I have not joined Scaler, so I won't be able to comment on that.
My negative experiences were because of the sales executive.
Yup, this comment is true. I can verify. Something similar happened with me with the salesperson.
I had subcribed to Keerti Purswani channel asumming its real channel with genuine content. I would say this video is complete cunning in nature, here it was claimed as a genuine review, but it is actually sponsored one. This means cheating andmisssing your chennal subscriber for your own benefit . I dont say its wrong about sponsor video, but very intelligently protrayed as a honest review . Not a single word mentioned about sponsor, neither in description or in Thumbnail. Its not added even after many people asked to add it. I have unsubcribed now.
You should also get a feedback from the student who left Scaler or who joined and Do not get job
This video cleared all my doubt regarding Scaler Academy courses. I can totally relate to them on guidance part, like when you are learning from free courses it became time consuming as well as you lack right approach so it is very important to have TA and community. Also if you are from tier-3 college you need community support like Scaler Academy.

@@sagarpandey6578 October 2022
I was part of the exact batch, of that guy who did a bold proclamation that it's a scam. He is a famous UA-camr now. To be honest it was absolutely worth it. I brute-forced my way in, after getting inside the training was absolutely spectacular. Yes, there was an issue with placement, during our batch. But here's the thing, their 3L was absolutely worth it for a tier-4 student like me; because the methodical gamified training was spot on! I didn't get a high-paying product job at first (though it is a recent unicorn, they low-balled us for being from a tier-IV college), then I switched to a high-paying one (it has the highest base pay, considering that it's just a startup). I couldn't have done it without that intensive training. Many people didn't get placed that time, but the learning was worth it, and almost everyone has cracked top product-based companies. Now, with a 15+ LPA base salary, you definitely can pay 1.5L/yr for 2 years. So yes, it is definitely worth it.
Thank you for saying the truth
Hi
I want to become an SDE at a good company(currently working in electrical sector). In the last 3 months I have learnt Python and got selected in the Scaler academy for their next batch.
My doubt is:
Is the scaler teaching methods/practices are easily understandable to the students like me(who don't have experience in competitive coding)?
Please reply
@@abhilashmallikarjuna4277 yes. You can. However, I would also suggest you to study DSA theory separately. The scaler training is very much application oriented, and knowing the theory helps a lot. That being said, they too cover the theory. It's just that it isn't rigorous enough for me, though it isn't asked much in interviews. Being familiar with the theory helps in ramping up fast though.
@@swagatochatterjee7104 Thank you so much!!
Can we connect on LinkedIn?
I have few doubts regarding the course.
@@abhilashmallikarjuna4277 sure
I enjoyed the video, as far as enrollment is concerned so it depends upon individual if by getting into a tier-3 College they couldn't land into their dream job but on the contrary part scaler academy is making it possible by some sort of paid courses that's the best thing.
And at the end of day the results depends upon the individual hardwork that how passionate he/she is in achieving their goal.
did you get the jpb
Bro, did you got the job?
Okay so here is my take on it.
To me 2.5 lac is not about learning the content I can learn that on YT. Everything is online.
As a working professional I will pay 2.5 lac just to get into a routine. Because for me its all about a fix routine and a proper schedule that holds me accountable.
People who can do self learning = GREAT GOOD FOR YOU.
I cannot so I will put my money on scalar.
Really an important point
So ,have you enrolled? Please update.
Hi. I cleared scaler academy entrance test for data science course . i answered 7 out of 16 questions correctly and I have got some 35000 fee waiver.
They say that I can register with 20000 now and experience the trial period till Feb 21st. If I am not happy at the end of trial period, they will refund this 20k it seems.
Currently I m going to do pursue 1 year masters in Ireland related to data analytics. Could you/anyone suggest whether I can choose scaler data science course for back up or not?
Just to let you know that I am from a non tech background with 5 years of work experience
@@gokulkrishnan9399 I did the same dude. is it really worth it?
@@gokulkrishnan9399 did you enrolled for the courses and paid 20 k
Securing a job is a great topic. I am always so worried about if I will ever find a job in this field and if I should attend a bootcamp after my CS degree. Good work as always Keerti! This is my favorite coding channel
Intellipaat institute please .. they trapped me with 1L.20k data analytics course. I never gave a confirmation to proceed with the application. I asked to hold on to my application. Very bad experience. I just told them to cancel it as I'm not interested
The way she asked all the questions...it says she was well planned and prepared ... amazing interview...it covered almost all the doubts one can have before joining an online paid course.
Scaler Academy provides end to end support with the student. I had one meeting with one of the associates and they clear doubts by taking the industry examples and scenarios that many developers used to face while learning. Not only that, they share resources too for improvement. It is a useful one.
IIIT Kottayam 🔥
A super informative video.. to make all things crystal clear .
As a student we have always concern about money before we opt any courses.
Having such a dynamic curriculum as well as mentors is quite interesting. Having such a well structured Course of DSA and finally
Seeing such happy faces of these students even from tier 3 college who is competing in intl. companies as well as cracking thier interviews.
A great message displayed with this video !!
☺️💯
Being a CS student I know how much it is important to practice DSA and experience hands on projects, so its the most important initiative what Scaler does which helps to acquire practical knowledge.I will always look for this kind of paid course which gives that much a industrial experience.A big thumbs up to Scaler Academy.
Lol.. You must either be related to Scalar in some way. Biased comment.
You can learn coding yourself and there 1000 ways to do it but having a mentor and learning in a structured manner is completely different and makes a huge difference
Something fishy in this video, they are saying is there is no drawback at all.
The thing is simple they are charging high,one of my friend is there and he got lesser CTC than me 😂 and i have done my course from cheap platform ,still got 2lpa higher than these high institute
@@dayarao7946 can you please tell from which institute you did the course???
@@dayarao7946 hi, thinking of joining Scaler, what was his experience there, what was his ctc?
Great video with excellently curated questions. Its always nice to see a detailed explanation about a course by people other than their sales team. Keep up the good work!
what are the prerequisite or basics i should know to start the scaler course , can someone like me from non cs , non coding background cope up with the course , i am from mechanical background 2017 passout , i want to change the domain . pleaee guide me .
also what are the questions asked in scaler entrance test . ?is it mandatory to pass the test to enroll into the course ?
You mentioned at the start of the video that you learnt by yourself using the free content. Can you please share that with us?
scaler is not good at all. they are playing with student insecurities...they start a new batch of 400-500 student, means 500*12=60000 student every year,,,seriously how can you aspect quality from this mass production..... it is totally paid video,, it is clear from the reviews
Bro let me know about scalar..i would like to enroll with their development course and i am thrilled to hear about their placements. So please throw some actual present scenario lights on scalar and what all about placements?
What is the best Udemy courses for this scaler schedule?
not much negative about scaler it looks like more of paid review by scaler to me, .... too much butter to digest
Such happy students, seems like the program is worth all the hype. 🔥🔥
See they are not cancelling the EMI option im saying them like its difficult for me i feel difficult so im willing to cancel it but they are not doing it thisnis very bad extremely bad
video is super informative and helpful as a student. These things always bother us that should we opt for paid courses or prepare by ourselves, but by watching this video, it is clear that paid courses sure come with their own advantages and are great.
fooler academy unreasonably charges 3 lakhs for DSA & fullstack
The discussion was really informative and will help a lot of folks to take good career decisions!
Kela tari
Is content of Apna College dsa course enough to crack tech giants if anyone wants To crack through off campus? (for beginners)
Noted. Let me contact people who have taken the course.
I hope you enjoy this video as well 😊
No you also need good amount of practice
No..
I can say that by watching the placement course on youtube.They don't have much examples.
But for a complete beginner..It was good.
So they have offers before finishing the course?
But is it worth the money? It takes away considerable chunk of your salary!
According to the alumni's opinion - it is but this is a subjective question and answer can vary from person to person 🤷
I'm one of the participants in the video :) I can't speak for everyone, but I can say for sure that for me it was completely worth it. Not sure if you have seen the video yet. Like I say in the video, I got a 180% hike!! I personally see this more like an investment with super high ROI!
+1 Completely agree. I worked hard and thanks to Scaler, I got similar returns as well! Best you see the video first and make your mind up :)
A major problem in the Scaler curriculum is burnout and cost. Not all complete the curriculum and most people drop out in the middle. Even after you want to stop. You can't because you have already taken out a loan from a third-party partner.
If you get a good instructor and you are self-motivated. Then you can take the course. The placement team is very good that they keep getting your companies if you have a good profile i.e. prior experience, good problem-solving score (you have to solve problems in scaler daily) and you need confidence that you can crack interviews. Mentorship is not effective if you are NOT solving problems. Most mentors will talk to you because they are getting paid. Ask them questions that you have and do a lot of mock interviews with them. That's what you are paying for.
if you can't stay consistent and self-motivated then DO NOT take scaler. You should be financially stable to pay the fees without EMI and then take EMI for flexibility. if you are self-motivated then you can learn anything for free. Content is free but the desire to learn is not there in most people. The sales guy will tell you a hundred stories. Don't believe it!
@@md-ayaznoted.
Can share me the link of free contents which you used during your preparation as you mentioned in the video.
asking 2.5lac fees is just too much !!! How student who has already education loan now they are asking so much for just few courses not worth it

Hi guys, since so many of you are asking to mention it - yes, the video is sponsored BUT my concentration was always on them being honest.
This is these 3 alumni's opinions. Everyone is entitled to have their own. I hope everyone can understand this 😊
Doing a paid promotion without telling that it was, shows lack of transparency from your side
You told it is paid only when someone asked whether it's paid or not in comments.
Is this your honesty?
Honest review
Noted. This was my first one. So I missed adding it. Mistakes can happen right?
I didn't know it mattered so much to people. I thought what matters is that I put the effort to make sure the people who are talking are comfortable, honest and open.
I have accepted and rectified my mistake by pinning the comment and will always mention it from the next time. Is that enough?
@@KeertiPurswani I don't have any issue with paid promotion
But there's an option on UA-cam
When you upload any video you can tag it as "includes paid promotion"
Hi, added the tag. This setting comes only on laptop and not on phone, so didn't notice it. Thanks for letting me know.
Welcome 😊
What is the fee right now ? They are telling 3.3 Lakhs which is extremely High.
before getting into scaler, please try self study first. If you fail to be consistent and disciplined then even scaler cannot help you.
@@s_daivadnyaThanks for that suggestion. But uitimately in today's job market it hsa become very hard getting a interview call to prove yourself. That is where we need some platform which could help with that right.
@@CheckMyUA-camDescription. yes that will help me
is classes are offline or online?
coding ninjas TA support is awesome too , they charge very less but value they provide is really good
Shame on your side. If scaler sponsored this video why you post negative feedback videos. You took all the positive videos and kept in a single video. little common sense. waste🤣🤣😂😂
Scaler academy is completely Fake. Please Don't join at all. I wasted 3.5 Lacs.
@@CarmiBlaxland can you share your experience as of what went wrong their sales team is extremely annoying and very pushy. I was about to join but I know they are just a bunch of scammers
If they are coming in public then obviously they will be talking positive only.
Why would you think that? Social media is full of criticism and they did share some negative things they faced. Watch the video and judge yourself?
@@KeertiPurswani sure. I kept in offline download. I will watch in tomorrow morning walk. Don't take it as negative comment.
For sure. Hope you like the conversation. No offense taken at all!! 😊😊
@@KeertiPurswaniHi Keerti, I watched the entire video and it's awesome. The questions u asked are good. I have some questions like
Will scaler focus on technical knowledge not on softskills ?
I see most of ppl are freshers and less than 3 years experience. Is it worth to take scaler course for ppl like 8-9 years experience?
I want to say this that is " Teacher will teach to all students the same thing but only one will become topper because of his hardwork and improving himself".
don't believe scaler this vedio are created by scaler team for promotion.

Harsh Reality is that Scaler is another marketing company only worth 20K product is being delivered to you at price of hefty 3L, on top of it you won’t get any recognition from any university, I’m sure this video would have paid great price to this UA-camr, if you don’t believe just register and see how a sales guy would chase you from there, sponsoring Add during World Cup comes at heavy price,
- no recognition of certificate
- skills vs degree same fake pitch by counsellors and try to manipulate you
- only 25k kind of product for 3L Rs
- majority of content is available for free on internet
- marketing campaign in name of masterclass
- investing on UA-camrs and other social including this video and comment section is full backed by the money power
Guyz No Need to invest such hefty money for this unrecognised course which is mostly available freely online
