"My experience at Academy One has been one of utmost satisfaction. These days most of the counselors charge exorbitantly but do not help much when it comes to delivering what we expect them to, asking us to do everything and hardly meet/talk when we need their advice. But all these apprehensions were put to rest when I took Academy One's services. Jay was very helpful anytime I wanted his assistance. Since I was working with an IT firm, I hardly got any time to prepare my recos and SOP. But he tried his best to ensure that I send my applications on time.

I hardly met them personally; almost everything was done through phone and IMs. Overall, I am greatly satisfied and wish them all the best in future to keep up the good work that they do!"

"I heard about Academy One from one of my friend. I immediately went to meet them and realized that they had professional approach towards application procedure and visa process. I knew i had come to right place. I did not want to go to someone who will handover my case to their assistant and meet me once in month and show some fake attitude. The best thing about Academy One is that they are easily accessible almost online every time and if not they are just a phone call away. Their biggest plus point is that each of the students joining them gets personal attention and they are in direct contact with students through each and every step of the application process.

I would like to sincerely thank them once again for great guidance throughout my application procedure, sop, reco letters, financial formalities, visa processes--in short almost everything from a to z."

"I was referred to Academy One by a friend from College. The guys at Academy One keenly understood my profile and helped me select from reputed Universities in 3 countries. Their inputs at every stage of the Admissions process only made things more clearer and easier. Academy One is the most resourceful destination for Students seeking Professional educational guidance combined with unmatched service."

"The team at Academy One has updated knowledge of all the MBA and business related courses happening around the world. I was given practical advice based on my background, which proved quite helpful for me as it meant not wasting time on courses or universities where I didn't stand a fair chance or which were not worth going to. Also, they helped me a lot in preparing my application packages and my visa documents. You can call them to clear your silliest doubts, which I often did! Thanks to them, I feel I have now taken proper decisions and am now on the right career path..!!"

"Academy One is known to me as institution for GRE classes and also a Service with personalized approach providing guidance in selecting University, applications, SOP, Recos, career guidance, visa processes.

"Thanks Jay for all the help!. Your guidance helped me secure an admit with full scholarship for MBA in North Carolina State University. It has been wonderful working with you!."

Arindam Majumdar

(MBA - University of Iowa (Tippie), USA)

"The first time I met Jay at his office in Chembur, he seemed like a college senior, ready to advise me and never ever trying to convince me to join Academy One. In fact this sets him apart from all other consultants I have known. Jay has always been there for me, no matter what time of day and for whatever silly little query that I have had. Over a period of 4-5 months, during the MBA application process, which has been an emotional roller coaster for me, Jay has been my pillar of strength.

If it had not been for Jay’s exemplary guidance and tips, I would not have had admits from 6 B-Schools. My final decision of going to Tippie has also been primarily because of the inputs that I have had from Jay. Thank you Jay for all the invaluable tips"

Sumit Savla

(MS - CS-Information Security -  Georgia Tech University, USA)

"Hey Jothsna/Jay, first of all thank you so much for everything. Because of your continuous help and assistance finally I am heading to Georgia Tech to pursue MS in Computer Science with specialization in Information Security. After my GRE (just 1140) I was so confused and worried about my MS admissions; I was very late with my applications and in addition I had very less knowledge about complete application process which seemed like a Herculean task.

I came to know about you from one of my Friend and your website. After talking to you people I decided to enroll @ Academy One. You did a great job and guided me from university selection to Visa. You were always just a phone call away and solved my many many doubts ... some of which might be too silly :)...

 
To sum up, I am very thankful to you for guiding me so well that I am finally going to Georgia Tech"

Kumar Viswanathan

(MS - Engineering Management - Case Western Reserve University, USA)

"I would sincerely like to thank Jay and Jothsna for their guidance throughout the entire admission process right from selecting the course to the visa interview. They are thorough professionals with very warm and friendly personalities. They were very accessible during any time of the day and did not hesitate to answer even the silliest of questions that I used to come up with. This made the entire admission process very smooth and relaxed.

They have an unbiased opinion about the universities and were very realistic about the options that I had. Another aspect which made their guidance so invaluable is their emphasis on attention to detail  to each and every document that needs to be sent.

I wish Academy One all the very best for their future endeavors."

Akshay Bhagwatwar

(MS - MSIM -  University of Washington, USA)

"I joined academy one after lot of search for good career counselors in Mumbai. When I first met Jay sir and Jothsna madam, I felt that they are very different than other counselors who charge heavily and whose aim is to just get you into any xyz university in US.

Both Jay sir and Jothsna madam were very helpful whenever I was in any difficulty while filling up my application forms. They also guided me well for telephonic interviews and my search for assistantships. The best thing about them is that they are always available online. So, I never had to take an appointment to meet them for small doubts. I still remember asking them  trivial doubts and they answering each of them with patience.

They were very supportive in my university selections too. Today, when I am about to leave for my Masters degree at University of Washington, I feel that this would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of Jay sir and Jothsna Madam.

I will surely be in touch with them even after reaching Seattle.
Thanks a lot for being my true career guide."

Shreyas Verma

(MS - MSIM -  University of Washington, USA)

"I would say I made the right decision when I decided to choose Academy One for their guidance during the entire application process. I got their reference from my friend and I would even thank him for telling me about them. Well to tell you the truth they, unlike any other counselors one would come across, are very pleasant and very cool and composed. Throughout my application I asked them petty queries, regarding the admission forms, the procedure, the application for universities, finalizing Universities,  confirmation of admits, even booking of flights and considering the best airlines, yet they never failed to answer my queries, even at odd hours.

I would say they helped me at every step and because of their efforts and my ability I managed to secure admits from many Universities. Thanks for everything"

Amit Sheksaria

(MBA - University of Toronto (Rotman), USA)

"My sincere thanks to Academy One which was very helpful in making my way to my aspired MBA Program. Application for an MBA Program abroad involves a lot of intricacies - right from taking GMAT, selection of schools, application till you are ready with the admission offer and Visa to fly to live your dream. I must appreciate the personal attention and care that I received from Jay in every step. I never felt that I am into a professional liaison for the assistance. Honestly, I received more than what I had expected from a consultancy. Overall it was a correct decision to join Academy One. "

Kedar Nagarkar

(MS - IT Management - University of Texas at Dallas, USA)

"Thanks a lot for walking along with me and guiding me at each and every moment of the journey of acquiring admission for studying abroad. The guidance which you offered was beyond the obvious (at least for me) and helped me not only in the admission and visa process but also in my general career and life.

I liked your unusually normal, easy-going and forceless attitude. The way you handled all my doubts, queries and questions was really fascinating and informative. You dealt the silliest of my doubts with importance and patience. You not only answered my doubts but also provided me your insights and way-outs best for me.

Thanks once again for exceptional coaching of GRE and TOEFL and entire admission process guidance up to getting my visa. I hope to continue getting your guidance in future too."

Debasmit Banerjee

(MS - Computer Science - SUNY Buffalo, USA)

"Initially I was a bit apprehensive about enrolling at Academy One. The only reason behind this was that I was in Kolkata and did not understand how someone can counsel you without seeing you face to face. But Jay and Jothsna proved me completely wrong! They were the perfect counselors and guided me excellently! From SOP and LORs to helping in the University selection and other application related matters, they were very very helpful. There was no problems in communicating with them. I could call them or ping them on gTalk, you will find them online during normal office hours and even beyond that and you'll never find any problems in approaching them. I feel that you get better services from Jay/Jothsna than from people who provide face to face counseling. I always came up with silly and stupid queries but Jothsna was always very patient in answering all my questions and clearing them beyond any doubts. The best thing about Jay is his simplest of  solutions to the most complex of problems. I strongly recommend Academy One if you are looking for excellent counseling services and if you want value for your money."

Satish Gore

(M.Arch- University of Houston, USA)

"Thanks to Jothsna & Jay for being with me during entire journey right from choosing the course, deciding universities, and the entire application process till the visa interview. It was an enjoyable and learning experience throughout. Jothsna’s guidance helped me a lot at improving the SOP and Resume. Thanks to their help, I even got 50% scholarship at University of Houston. I will definitely  recommend other students to be a companion with Academy One for the special Journey to your higher studies in the U.S."
