SST (Scaler School of Technology) – Honest review from a current first-year student
SST honest review from a current first-year student
My background:
• JEE Mains: 96.7
• Boards: 91%
I joined SST because I was more interested in coding, maths, and building things than a traditional PCM-heavy first year.
One thing people should know upfront: SST is still new and the first batch hasn’t graduated yet. That is a real risk, and anyone considering it should think about that carefully.
My experience so far:
• Lots of project work
• Hackathons and building culture
• More focus on software/product skills early on compared to many traditional colleges
Things I like:
• Build-focused environment
• Coding exposure from early semesters
• Students are encouraged to make things, not just study theory
Things I think you should consider before joining:
• New institution → less established brand value
• Not ideal if you want a very traditional college life
• You need to be proactive; this isn’t a place where you can just attend lectures and coast
Who might like SST:
• Students interested in software engineering / startups / building products
Who might not:
• People mainly optimizing for established college reputation or conventional college experience
I’m a current student, so this is just my personal experience so far. Happy to answer questions honestly in comments.
