The same numbers reflect 35 LPA and 18 LPA for graduates of the data science program, respectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increase in average salary hike reflects the continuing demand for skilled professionals in the ever-evolving tech landscape. This trend aligns with the data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scaler.com\/blog\/kpmg-scaler-commissioned-report-highlights-the-impact-of-upskilling-on-the-indian-it-ecosystem\/\">2022 report<\/a>, indicating a persistent need for upskilling to meet industry requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report highlights a substantial jump in the average salaries of learners. Pre-upskilling, the average CTC of Scaler Academy learners stood at Rs 17.77 LPA, which has now surged to Rs 33.73 LPA post-upskilling. Parallelly, the average salary of learners from the data science cohort prior to upskilling stood at 15.47 LPA. Post upskilling, the average CTC secured by them shot to 30.68 LPA, reflecting the efficacy of upskilling and continuous learning in elevating tech career prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n<meta
