All about Scaler School of Technology

The best part of Scaler School of Technology is its course and curriculum. The subjects we learn are very useful and match what tech companies are looking for today. Unlike other colleges, we don’t study topics like physics or chemistry that aren’t needed for computer science. Instead, we learn about things like blockchain, cybersecurity, machine learning, mechatronics, and more. This helps us keep up with the latest technology. Even though the schedule can be a bit busy, it’s worth it because we learn a lot. We always bring our laptops to class, which makes learning more practical . The curriculum and teaching style are already well-planned, and if anything needs to change, they fix it quickly . We have mid-term exams every 1.5 month and final exams every 3 months, which helps us stay on track.

Students also got internships at big companies like Swiggy, Zomato, and even Apple Academy. Most students earned between 35,000 and 50,000 per month. The highest stipend was more than 2,00,000 per month for an SDE role.

The total course fee is 22,00,000 for the batch of 2024 (has increased fro the upcoming batch). The tution fee is as: First Year - 3,25,000 Second Year - 4,00,000 Third Year - 4,00,000 Fourth Year - 3,25,000 Scholarships are available for those who have: Achieved high feat in codeforces, codechef or holding a tech award. Scored a good percentile in JEE Mains (around 98-99%ile). Having offer letters from top colleges. Special scholarships for female students (conditional). Merit based scholarship.

We have fun events like InSSTpire week and Yugaantar where all students can take part in different activities. The classrooms are large and have high speed internet access. Both the main college (macro) and hostel (micro) campuses have good Wi-Fi. For sports, we have a cricket/football ground, 2 badminton courts, and a table tennis table. But this is not enough for all students, so it is one of the problems at SST. There are also many student driven clubs like the Creators Club, Media Club, Sports Club, Cultural Club, CP Club, Open Source Club, Machine Learning Club, and more. These clubs help students follow their hobbies and learn new skills outside of class.

We can choose double sharing rooms (1.8 lakhs per year) or triple sharing rooms (1.5 lakhs per year). The mess food is okay—not very good, but it’s getting better. There is a variety of food. There are many restaurants nearby, and services like Zepto, Blinkit, and others work well here.

I've always been interested in tech, and I didn’t want to spend time on subjects like physics and chemistry that aren’t really helpful for a computer science career . What I liked about SST curriculum is that it focuses only on tech skills, like coding, web development, and machine learning. I already knew about Scaler Academy and how good their training is, so I trusted their teaching. The other colleges I applied to still followed old teaching methods and didn’t offer early internships or real industry experience like SST does. The admission process included 1 test and 1-2 interviews (has changed a bit now).

The teachers here are very friendly and easy to talk to. If you need help or have any doubts, you can just visit the board room during your free time, and they’ll happily guide you. We study 3–4 main subjects: Computer Programming (DSA), Web Development, Mathematics (like Linear Algebra for Machine Learning), and English for communication skills. The year is divided into 4 semesters, so exams happen quite often. Along with hands-on learning, we also have coding contest-style exams. These are held in a competitive environment, and after you submit your solutions, a leaderboard shows your ranking. The difficulty of the exams depends on how well you have prepared.

As part of the selection and admission process at Scaler School of Technology, students have to go through one or two interviews along with an online assessment. The online test usually has input-based questions that check your basic logic and problem-solving skills.

The nightlife is good for a college. We can go out until 10:30 PM, but we must return to the hostel after that. If someone wants to stay out after 10:30, they need permission from the warden and their parents. We also get access to an outside gym (Cult Fitness), and there is a cafeteria inside the hostel.
