Along with Scaler School of Technology's UG program, valued by top tech companies, our students would be advised to pursue a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in parallel to ensure they have more flexibility with their career outcomes.

By doing this, we want to bring the best of both worlds together. On the one hand, our learners will have access to the latest curriculum, be taught by teachers with practical experience, and pursue a 1-year tech internship that ensures they are set up for success in Computer Science in India & abroad.

On the other hand, formal degrees from a reputed university enable them to be eligible for the following,

Masters outside India via exams like GRE
Getting a work visa for migrating abroad
MBA in India and abroad via exams like CAT & GMAT
Government Jobs like IAS, IPS via exams like UPSC

To implement this thought process, the following programs are what we recommend & help our students to apply to.
