Honestly i felt this course is best for the people who are already in to the backend development or willing to go for backend/ front end development. I joined this course to learn data engineering module. I felt the amount of assignments / efforts they kept for Backend development is more compared to Data Engineering module and opportunities are also bit less compared to backend/front end development

The structured curriculum and exceptional faculty helped me build a strong foundation in tech. I particularly appreciated the in-depth coverage of every concept, accompanied by a capstone project that allowed me to apply my new skills. The system design module was a highlight, and I'm confident it will serve me well in my new role. My problem-solving skills have improved significantly, and I credit this course for preparing me for the switch.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The course structure was very organised to cover end-to-end content and best in class instructors to deliver the content. Rest the platform is very intuitive and engaging to make you want to learn everyday. The process was hectic for sure along with job and needed an individual to show lots of discipline and character but it’s all worth in the end.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

I had already been doing small ML projects in college, but I was missing a deeper understanding of how things actually worked. Scaler helped me fix that in a very structured and practical way.
What I appreciated the most was how clearly everything was taught. The instructors are genuinely good at explaining ideas that usually feel confusing, especially topics like statistics, ML intuition, SQL, and computer vision. People like Srikanth, Mohit, Harshit, and my mentor Abhishek played a huge role in helping me build real clarity.
The program also pushed me to stay consistent. I ended up building long streaks, solving problems every day, and actually enjoying the grind. That discipline made a big difference later when I was interviewing and eventually when I joined Unscript AI.
A lot of the work I do today in ML and MLOps comes from foundations I built at Scaler. Things like understanding model behaviour, breaking down problems, designing clean pipelines, and thinking like an engineer instead of just running code.
Overall, Scaler gave me both confidence and clarity, and I still use what I learned there every single day.

Total Waste of Money – A Complete Debt Trap
Good start, weak finish. If you don’t clear mocks, you lose placement access. Company list is tiny and barely hires freshers. Feels more like a marketing trap than a career program.

The instructors aren’t generic trainers—they actually work in the field, so everything they teach is based on how things are done in actual companies. No outdated theory, no fluff.The best part is the hands-on assignments. Every module comes with practical tasks that force you to actually build, break, and fix things the way you'd do in a real job. From containerization to CI/CD to cloud deployments, you’re not just watching videos—you’re doing the work. And that builds confidence fast.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and always approachable. They cleared every single doubt I had with patience and made sure I truly understood each concept.
The mock interviews, especially the AI-based ones, were a great addition. they helped me gain confidence and improve my communication for real interviews. My mentors were always there whenever I needed guidance, whether it was about concepts, career direction, or placements.
The placement portal is also very well-organized. There are new opportunities listed almost every day, and applying through the portal is quick and smooth. Scaler’s team also keeps you updated about your application status and even shares useful details like company information and salary range.
Overall, Scaler played a big role in shaping my professional journey, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone serious about growing in software development.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
