I have enrolled in scaler data science course recently. And after completing a couple of months studies with them here are the Pros and Cons for me:
Pros:
- Very structured course and relevant topics. Along with really good assignments after each class.
- Instructors are really good. Until now I have only interacted with Mohit Uniyal, and I think he is really good. He is very thorough and amazingly patient while answering doubts.
- Teaching Assistance support is another great resource. You can reach out to them anytime via chat or video call. So that’s very handy.
- The dashboard is laid out really well too. The options to view class recordings any time, making bookmarks, discussion, scaler support access. Very neat!
- I have heard they have good placement and career support as well. I haven’t availed or experience this yet first hand since I am only 2 months in the course now.
Cons:
- Quite expensive course for sure, but given the quality and other equally and more expensive courses in the market such as upgrad, I am not surprised.
- Features like mentors are not very helpful, as even many mentors are still figuring out their career.
- A lot of spam from scaler. OMG! like you name it, Email, Whatsapp, Slack, so much spam from scaler and other learners.
- Lack of quality network building. Eventhough scaler has the above platforms where learners can connect, it still fails to help learners network. I know it is a hard thing, but I hope scaler can come with something where learners can benefit from each other.

I tell you the main issues with these institutes are their cousellors. I am not even sure if the management knows about what kind of promises they are making to us.

I tell you the main issues with these institutes are their cousellors. I am not even sure if the management knows about what kind of promises they are making to us. If they are not aware of that..then they should take strict action against those cousellors, if they are already aware of that….then all the people should stand with others and boycott these types of fraud they are committing. First shock that you will get is there is no course fee, I guess the fee shown on website or brochure is totally high end….. I came in contact with one of my batch mate and got to know that he got a discount on the course fee for 35%, my counsellor said he took permission from the higher management to get the discount for 20% of the fee, which I was thankful for. So they are giving out fee discounts on basis of your paying capacity. Unexpectedly trainers are experienced and knowledgeable.

After thousands of calls, I got interviewed and the salary offered to me was Rs12000. Bakwaas…counsellors, bakwas management and bakwaas Institiute. Please do not join else it can be your story too…
