Scaler School of Technology (SST), India’s premier destination for computer science education has reported a 96.3% internship placement rate for its first batch (2023-27), according to its first Internship Placement Report, audited by B2K Analytics – the same firm that audits the placement report of prestigious institutes like IIM Ahmedabad, XLRI, MDI Gurgaon, and other premier management institutes. With the process still underway, students have already secured roles across 96 organisations, ranging from high-growth startups to global technology firms, with a few more offers in the pipeline.
Companies offering internships include Zomato, Swiggy, 1MG, and international names such as Stash Away and Neurowyzer (Singapore), Apple Developer Academy (Indonesia), and Digital Product School (Germany). A total of 232 internship offers have been extended so far, with 36% of students even receiving multiple offers, signalling strong employer interest across in SST’s 2nd year students. The highest monthly stipend offered was INR 2,00,070 (converted to INR from SGD), while the average stipend stood at INR 31,264. Moreover, students in the top 10% secured an average monthly stipend of INR 92,000, reflecting robust demand for high-performing, job-ready talent.
A distinctive outcome of this placement cycle is that nearly 50% of students came in without a prior computer science background. These results are particularly noteworthy as they represent second-year students in a 4-year program – a rarity in Indian undergraduate education where most placements typically occur in the final year. Their successful internship conversions across diverse industries and geographies reflect the effectiveness of Scaler School of Technology’s applied learning approach and deep alignment with current industry requirements.
Anshuman Singh, Co-founder and Dean at Scaler School of Technology said, “Internships or industry exposure are no longer an optional good-to-have. They are a necessity to bridge the gap between education and employment. This year’s results reflect a growing industry need for talent that’s not just academically trained but truly execution-ready. The strong industry response, including participation from global companies, reinforces our belief that when education is closely aligned with real-world expectations, it opens meaningful opportunities early in a student’s journey.
Our goal: in the next five years, we intend to establish SST among the world’s top undergraduate institutions for career outcomes – be it placements, entrepreneurship, or global postgraduate admits. We’re deeply grateful to our ecosystem of mentors, recruiters, parents, and above all, our pioneering students for making this possible.”
The internship program is a key feature of SST’s 4-year undergraduate programme in Computer Science and AI, which includes a one-year industry immersion. This extended structure is designed to provide students with hands-on experience well before they graduate, aiming to make them workforce-ready from day one.
As industry exposure or internships become a critical barometer of future employability in the tech sector, the report offers a snapshot of how new-age institutions are closing long-standing skill gaps through redesigned models of education and mentorship with first principles and razor-sharp execution.
