Context
Having the right skills can lead to immense growth as a software engineer. Many tech professionals
attempt to build these skills via the vast, often free resources on the internet. However, they soon
realise that these unstructured articles and videos lead to incomplete and shallow learning. Many a
time professionals might not have the time to search for answers and sometimes even the right
questions. Additionally, the repeated cycle of learning, interviewing and rejection is very
demoralising. We can help!
We, at Scaler, have developed a structured curriculum for software engineers to learn programming
constructs, CS fundamentals and System Design (both HLD and LLD) via projects

The curriculum is reverse engineered by analysing what it takes to be a great software engineer and
has been refined with industry leaders. Through the course, students are delivered a hands-on
learning experience to make them job-ready and interview-ready

We believe that all our students (all of them are tech professionals with any number of years of work
experience) should have the opportunity of becoming a great engineer, and should graduate with
the same level of coding and software engineering knowledge irrespective of their backgrounds

However, we also realise that incoming students differ in the amount they know and their preferred
pace of learning

To ensure that all our students are learning at a comfortable pace and are learning with peers that
inspire them to work harder, we split each Scaler Academy batch into three sections (Beginner,
Intermediate and Advanced). Intermediate and Advanced sections have launched and are accepting
enrolments and Beginner will launch soon. Intermediate and Advanced sections will graduate with
the same level of coding and software engineering knowledge and applicants’ performance in the
initial 30 min test determines which section the student would enter. The curriculum around CS
Fundamentals (including Data Structures and Algorithms) and System Design (a project based
approach with HLD and LLD) is the same for both sections, with the only difference being an
additional 8 weeks of additional Programming Constructs for Intermediate section. The learning
duration of the Advanced section is 31 weeks (~7 months) and the Intermediate section is 39 weeks
(~9 months). However, the tuition fee for all sections is the same

What does this curriculum give you?
1. Thorough knowledge of CS fundamentals (including DSA)
2. Specialisation in backend or fullstack and proficiency in System Design (HLD and LLD) via a
project to either move to complex development projects within your firm or switch
companies (and crack those interviews)
Confidence that you know the content very well
Hyper-personalisation - depending on student-specific learning pace, we try to segregate batches
to ensure all students are learning at a pace comfortable to them
Healthy competition amongst peers via weekly contests and assignments
Multiple 1:1 system design discussions with experts (e.g.senior engineers at big-tech firms)
Hands-on learning via projects like creating an Uber-like app, an Amazon-like app, a Notes-like
app, Facebook Messenger and Facebook News-Feed like-systems. These projects help the student
implement the concepts taught

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a structured interview?

Revised on March 10, 2022. A structured interview is a data collection method that relies on asking questions in a set order to collect data on a topic. It is one of four types of interviews. In research, structured interviews are often quantitative in nature.

How does interviewbit prepare you for job interviews?

It makes you a better programmer as well, you start looking for all the corner cases in your code, which is thing many company interviews keenly focus on. InterviewBit prepares you not only for the interviews, but for the actual job too.

How do you conduct content analysis in a structured interview?

Due to the closed-ended nature of many structured interviews, you will most likely be conducting content analysis, rather than thematic analysis. You quantify the categories you chose in the coding stage by counting the occurrence of the words, phrases, subjects or concepts you selected.

What is inductive and deductive approach in content analysis?

When conducting content analysis, you can take an inductive or a deductive approach. With an inductive approach, you allow the data to determine your themes. A deductive approach is the opposite, and involves investigating whether your data confirm preconceived themes or ideas.
