Go for it, if you wanna transform your life. Go for it, if you have long term goals. Go for it, if you wanna experience how the gurukool days would have been.

    A shishya.

THEY ARE DEFINATELY WITNESSING THE "VISHALTA " OF THE "GYAN " AND ITS "UPAYOG " AT THE RIGHT TIME, IN APPROPRIATE AMOUNTS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IN THE BEST SUITED FORM.

I AM VERY LUCKY TO HAVE HIM AS MY GURU AT THE TIME WHEN I AM SOWING THE SEEDS OF MY ENGNEERING CAREER. . . i.e. . . WHEN STRONG FOUNDATIONS ARE LAID DOWN, THE OUTCOMES ARE UNDOUBTEDLY MEANINGFUL TO ONE AND ALL.

MAY MORE STUDENTS CAN HAVE THIS PLEASURE AND BENEFIT FROM IT.

I learnt Java & Advanced Java from him during 2000-01. From that time onwards I have grown from a Programmer to Sr. Programmer to Analyst to Project Leader to Project Manager to Sr. Project Manager to Program Manager today. He has been continuously morale of inspiration for me and gave me lot of career guidance and advices.

I was very close to Rajesh sir during my training days and when I was in Mumbai. I still remember when he took me to a Rational Rose Seminar at Taj West-End at Bandra, Mumbai and we had a Darjeeling fresh tea there at hotel lobby. He told me that “let’s try something new rather then drinking always a routine tea” (sir used to order tea for all students almost daily during our classes). I felt the freshness and the aroma of the tea we all experienced. The thought behind this was to try and explore new things which you have not come across earlier in your life. Who knows when you will strike out? It’s just a matter of perfect time and your sixth sense to grab it. That’s it after that I never looked back in my career.

I sincerely recommend him for any fresher / experienced person to learn the lesson of life from him. You will not be disappointed for sure.

No one else have I seen who can Transfer knowledge with Spirituality.

Whenever I have studied under Patkar Sir, it has always been for long hours per day -- typically 8-10 hours. And its impossible to shift your mind anywhere else during these hours except the topic that he is teaching. The position I have chosen in Accenture is solely because I learnt Design patterns and Java Architecture from Patkar Sir and have started loving it.

I personally believe that technology is not the only thing that one can learn from him. He is the most down to earth individual I have met, given the technological depth he has. Always open to learning new things and always ready to discuss and share his knowledge. And most important always a smiling friend.

I know that whenever I make visits to India, I need to meet him atleast for a while. And hope that I can be in India a longer time or he can come to London, so that I can learn new things from him.

I feel if you click the link below, you will know what I want to say about Sir

http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=guru

Too difficult to believe that a shopping centre in Malad hosts a training centre that forms the core of the best knowledge dissemination of computer sciences.

I consider myself very lucky to discover ACS & Rajesh Sir in particular, as i apply my learning from ACS in any work i take up.

I do miss the theoretical lectures & discussions on OOPs & I surely wish to learn more from there. I consider it very important for every person in software engineering & computer science field to have a mentor like Rajesh Sir. As after having done umpteen courses from many institutes (before joining ACS), I really wish I had joined ACS earlier.

I have experienced the paradigm shift in many aspects of life after my short stint at ACS. So many important core concepts revealed, design patterns, best practices discussed.

Sometimes I think it's unfair that only a select few (of us) gain so much knowledge from Rajesh Sir while there are too many people striving for the same but are being misguided by several institutes with mediocre courses. I hope many more benefit from Sir & I am sure this number will be directly proportional to the quality of IT pros around us.

I strongly advocate ACS as the place to get trained.

I wish Rajesh Sir & his family all the best for all his current & future endeavours & best

Regards.

...Humble Student (Vijay).

Can transform you from just an programer to product developer.

I am fortunate to get some teaching from him and consider him my Guru in I.T.

you will definitely reach your Destiny....

Today I work in a firm, whose chief scientist is Martin Fowler, whose books were a required reading in the Java classes conducted by Prof Patkar.

After interacting with Sir I was overwhelmed as I got to see true essence of a teacher in him. Apart from exhibiting excellent tutelary characteristics, he has also been a good friend.

I wish all the luck to ACS and Sir and hope to garner more knowledge from Sir and nourish my cerebrum with the same.

But I joined ACS with the intention of giving it a try. I was bowled over by Sir's teaching style, the depth to which he takes the students. These are qualities of a great teacher. He is full of knowledge and yet so humble. I wish he becomes more visible to IT professionals like us through advertising or any other medium so that proper guidance can be given to people and we all realize Sir's dream of IT products oriented India , a true IT superpower rather than service oriented IT superpower. I feel very proud to be a part of ACS community and a student of Patkar Sir.

Thanks a lot . :-)

I met sir 10 years back in one party and at that time was explaining to sir what funda of C means to a commerce student. After listening passionately for 20-30 minutes Sir gave me his contact no and address of classes.After listening to his first lecture on C (Jan 99), I am still listening to him on many technologies. I realized within 2-3 months that I found Draunacharya of IT field. As a commerce graduate it was never easy for me to settle down in IT. But with sir's guidance and help it was never hard for me to get into this field.

And the best part of this journey is the way he explains IT concepts using examples from the practical and spiritual world which makes difficult funda so easy to understand that it is hard to forget. Would like to thank God for gifting us (atleast me) sir.

It has given me lot of confidence in whatever I do now. Under Patkar Sir, my thinking about any subject has changed a lot. Prof. Patkar has been my "Guru " in true sense. He not only has great knowledge of lot of subjects, but he also has been extremely successful in sharing his knowledge with his students. He explains even very complex concepts in such a simple way so that the students, irrespective of whether the student is a fresher or experienced , does not have any problems at all in understanding it.

Apart from the courses, Sir has taken initiative in conducting lot of seminars also which have proved to be of great advantage to all his students. Also the KnowledgeNet activity which is started by Sir , has given opportunity to all the ACS students to share their knowledge on internet and do some productive work.

Patkar sir is not only a great teacher and guide , but he is also a great human being. He is always ready to help his students out whenever they need any guidence from him.

Patkar sir has been my inspiration since I met him first, till date. I can not express my gratitude towards him in words. I feel very proud to be a part of ACS community and a student of Patkar Sir.

He has and will always be my role model and I have lots of respect for him. He was my teacher from my BE till i came to US. I have also had a unique oppurtunity to work under him in BE where we built a Robot. His guidance in the project was exceptional and unreplaceable. It is my understanding after a long time under him that Prof. Patkar has a very deep understanding of any subject he decides to teach. This combined with his delivery style makes him a unique teacher. I dont think I have enough words to thank Prof. Patkar for what he has given to me. He remains to be my inspiration till date.

After meeting him, I realized that he is the guru that I am looking for and immediately joined batches for EJB and Design Patterns. While learning from him about the subjects, I also learnt how to learn and realized that there are so many things to learn.

My thinking became more refined and focused and concepts became clear. In my opinion, Prof Rajesh Patkar is really a wonderful professor as well as a wonderful person. I can not express my gratitude towards him in words....

The transformation in me was due in whole to Sir's style of communicating, support and encouragement I received from him. There are many things that I particularly value about your approach. Your teaching always offers upto-date information with your own unique style that keeps student engaged in learning process. As a reflection for my respect to Sir's Capabilities, I recommend students that to benefit the most of him begin learning C under him.

I whole-heartedly endorse Mr. Patkar's ability as a coach and a Technology leader. I would be happy to give more details of my coaching experience to any that cares to call.

I've referred several of my friends and colleagues to Mr.Patkar for Coaching, and will continue to do so in the future I look forward to be the part of learning process having you as the mentor.

I still miss being in your class which were dotted with 'hyperlinks' of multiple domain and adeptly associating them with technology. Am inspired by your self-awareness of multiple domains and your confidence. Your trainings are inspiring, touching and exciting as well.

A 'Guru' par excellence !! Your value added training programs are ' Closing the Gap' between education and industry and evolving an individual as a whole. His addition of new courses all the time is something required in changing IT scenarios I have never seen the man grown impatient with a student's questions, or fail to try to help the sincere learner.

Outside classroom Mr. Rajesh patkar had been a true a mentor, in all respects. He is able to engage with students as individuals while still maintaining his professionalism; that is, he is friendly but never inappropriate. You have my professional endorsement and my deepest personal respect.

Yes!! This is how I will describe the ACS T&D center. There is an evolutionsmith (Prof. Rajesh Patkar) working hard to convert all caterpillars into techie butterflies. One enters ACS as a caterpillar and evolutionsmith develops a cocoon of knowledge around him. There happens a metamorphosis, after which a beautiful techi butterfly evolves. When others see rose as a rose, these butterflies sees the rose first as a flower and then as a Rose.

Hooking on to the concepts is the habit of all techies evolved under evolutionsmith. There are butterflies that can run here and there; evolutionsmith takes care to make them capable to fly. There are few who knows how to fly, evolutionsmith teaches them how to find direction. There are many who can fly and go places, evolutionsmith adds beautiful colors to them. Being a butterfly at ACS, one can expect to evolve at any stage and add new colors to life.

Prof. Rajesh Patkar has given shapes to the evolution of many butterflies like me and evolutionsmith is the word I could figure out after thinking a lot on this. It's because of his training; I stand confidently where ever I am. No longer afraid of rose, jasmine or sunflower knowing that they are just types of flowers.

Following lines expresses the Metamorphosis I experienced at ACS. Sitting silently, Doing nothing, Spring comes, And the grass grows by itself. Words are still not sufficient to express my self, but it’s for sure that I will not miss any opportunity to learn under ACS and Prof. Rajesh Patkar.

I have been to many institutes and also have many friends who attended other institutes where their experiences had been .. average or bad. None could have said that the faculty in the institute was too good to have delivered a career building base to them.

My experience with Sir - "one teacher who has acted as a turning point in my life to build my career. I am lucky to have found a teacher rather than a faculty ".

Will like to share one of my experiences with Sir. This was when sir had decided to purchase the projector for the class. Me, Sir and the sales person were sitting in the hotel discussing the pricing and other stuff. Meanwhile, the sales person passed one comment - "Now it will be good for you to complete the deliverables in lesser duration and in more efficient and professional way. Also will help you conduct more batches with the time saved ". Sir said - "This will help students get the deliverables in more efficient way and earlier than the specified duration. This will help me deliver more to them - which I wanted but was not able to deliver due to the limitation of time ". Sir always tried to prepare his students with the future in vision. What I like very much about him is that he teaches to learn. He is one person I found who loves to teach rather than teach just to earn.

There is still a lot more to share but time and words are not permiting me. Last but no the least - "he is the best at what he does ".

Rajesh Patkar is not just trainer for technology but he trains people for their success in life.

Technology is the medium to learn how to learn in your life. Mr.Patkar proves this.

His simple thought embossed examples are there with us through out our life.

His sessions are great on any subjects.

If I keep writing I will keep  writing books with volumes and volumes about sir .

His architectural knowledge is unbeatable.

He is  great  .

He first entered as a senior student teacher @ Somaiya Engineering when I was in first year and he would teach third year students himself being a final year student in our College. Finally he helped me in the BEngg ( Projects as an advisor) and a Microprocessor System Design teacher. That was 13 years ago. I last met him teaching various fields in IT with his institution and now this is a College with an army of students mentioning about his style of teaching.

This man is remarkable and a simple GENIUS! You should learn atleast one lecture from him. I must say you must learn to be a student like him first and then a teacher like him later...Good Show !!!

Rajesh Patkar epitomizes 'Work is Worship' and  personifies 'Devotion in Action'.

My time with the institue was really overwhelming..fantastic

Writing testimonial is a real pleasure especially when you are writing it for someone like Patkar Sir. I got introduced to Patkar sir through Anand Parulkar. Though I have heard a lot from Anand about Sir but when I met him it came out to be even better.

Over the years of experience its my understanding that if you are able to convey the concept at each individuals level then you have an excellent knack of teaching. And this is what I found in Patkar Sir. No matter how new the Topic be the way he used to present it., it always sounded that I knew it. That’s the fantastic delivery of Patkar Sir. Finding time out from work was always a challenge but after meeting Patkar Sir that was never the case. I have done couple of courses and we had a good team too.

Lately I have not been in touch with Sir since I moved to US…I hope to get in touch with Sir very soon…

All my best wishes to Patkar Sir and his Institute for continuing the fantastic work of knowledge sharing and producing good quality Software gurus.

Best Regards,

Vivek Unhavane

Coming from a commerce background, I owe all my knowledge and experience in I.T. to Patkar sir. I have learnt C, Data Structures & .Net technologies from him, but more importantly, he taught me how to learn any future technology or language. Today, when I come across people with years of experience but weak fundamentals, I feel really privileged to have learnt my fundamentals from Patkar sir.

I met Mr. Rajesh Patkar (sir) around 12 years back... He is a knowledge bank - always willing to share. I owe my career in IT to this genius for his guidance and blessings. I strongly recommend his teachings to one and all who intend to learn computer science from a different perspective.

 All the testimonials seen so far are, by participants with their respective goals (“a fresher” to become a programmer or “a struggling programmer” to become a Project Manager or Program Manager), which they have achieved.

 My case is different; I am a Corporate Trainer working in a SW Development Company.  My experience is:

  Other than learning the concepts,I saw many things in Sir,

 The art of explaining a difficult concept, selflessness, willing to share the knowledge, passionate to teach, advising to set TIMEBOXES for mastering a selected topic and giving ample number of reference books and always willing to give more etc. 

His style of teaching and delivery is unique and I enjoyed each and every lecture of his. If good things also (like timely raining etc) are happening in the world EVEN TODAY, it is because of such people.

 I pray to Him,

“LONG LIVE RAJESH SIR”

 By the way what is my goal?  --- In my next testimonial (after achieving it)

Another Shishya

     Patkar Sir has a very different vision towards the technology. Every time you meet him, You get to learn something new.

     He always tries to make the students aware of the new technologies and develops the ability to learn them.

     More importantly he patiently listens the problems of  student and whenever I am discussing anything with sir, I feel like I am with my father who wants to give me the best knowledge and I am free to present my own ideas.

     I feel very fortunate after getting him as a teacher.

I joined a course at Patkar Institute. It was a Java Course. The level of knowledge that I feel after attending course has raised to a next level.

• Sir has got a unique style of teaching which in inexplicable.
• The best thing about Patkar sir is that they teach the concept in a simple way.
• After a concept is taught one has to implement it right away in the class , so learning and implementing a concept goes hand in hand.
• A single term is explained from different dimensions.
• Sir explains complex terms in a simple way by giving real life example
  

Innovative & revolutionary teaching methodologies of Prof. Patkar is an invaluable asset in tackling not only problems in software, but life as a whole. The new dimension and the perception added changes how one views the world in general.

Thanks Patkar Sir for choosing the noblest of professions as a service to humanity. The knowledge you own and redistribute is worth a paradise.

Though my stint with Patkar Sir was short, it had been a dream come true. As I hated rotting & mugging up things, he perfected with a style of relativity to our daily chores.

I have recently completed my java web development course. I would like to thank Patkar sir for sharing his valuable knowldege.He is a reservoir of knowledge and a great master in his own way.

 A Great......  teacher and a mentor i have ever come across.

Being in the education system and the way the non-aided courses like computer science are functioning , i personally feel that if there were good teachers like him in this stream, it would benefit large number of students.

i therefore recommend that anyone interested in computer science field should undergo training under his guidance. That would help them to view the subject in a wider and better perspective.

Sir, I am privileged to be trained under you.Thanking you once again.

Prof. Patakar - Nothing but genius. A gem.

He teaches not just languages, he teaches fundamentals. I would recommend him to anyone who loves to command a language that he teaches. His teachings, if compared to spirituality, then should be called preachings. Easy to follow, easy to understand.

He is master mind; gifted with the spiritual intellect..!

Lucky me, he taught me to type when I didnt knew to find my name letters on the keyboard. He taught me Computer fundamentals; he taught me datastructures; he taught me Java; beyond all he taught me my profession and he taught me how to remain in profession.

Unfortunate are the ones; who dont get chance to attend this institute.

Currently I am settled in the UK. I would find myself fortunate, if I could help anyone having Prof. Patkar's reference.

What a great man !! Through out my learning carrier I have never met such impressing personality. He just spread magic when he is delivering the lecture.

One thing I learn from Sir, is commitment, during our batch time Sir was having minor accident, but still he was delivering the lectures, truly top class professionalism.

Thank you Sir. for sharing those important knowledge base with us.

THEY ARE DEFINATELY WITNESSING THE "VISHALTA " OF THE "GYAN " AND ITS "UPAYOG " AT THE RIGHT TIME, IN APPROPRIATE AMOUNTS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IN THE BEST SUITED FORM.

I AM VERY LUCKY TO HAVE HIM AS MY GURU AT THE TIME WHEN I AM SOWING THE SEEDS OF MY ENGNEERING CAREER. . . i.e. . . WHEN STRONG FOUNDATIONS ARE LAID DOWN, THE OUTCOMES ARE UNDOUBTEDLY MEANINGFUL TO ONE AND ALL.

MAY MORE STUDENTS CAN HAVE THIS PLEASURE AND BENEFIT FROM IT.

Hi,

I learnt a lot from Patkar Sir not only while being a student in the ACS institute but also as a friend after that. The knowledge the way of teaching is excellent and really a God Gift to Sir. I am so missig those days that I feel replaying those moments.

Any session you attend he will teach you in very simple manner not only as a teacher but as a true friend too. Also I noticed he never hasitates to give Gyan although external to but related to the topic in session

Shishya Saeed

Patkar sir is tendulkar of IT. A hope for the needy.

Best in the business.
