Wakad is the dense residential neighbour of Hinjewadi, packed with apartments and gated societies that house much of the IT park's workforce. For Wakad's software professionals, Archer Infotech offers a way to upskill into cloud, DevOps, data and AI roles without adding a long commute to an already traffic-heavy daily routine.
Like Hinjewadi, the smart play from Wakad is live online batches on weekdays with optional weekend classroom sessions in Kothrud. You get the same trainers and curriculum as the in-person batch, and our timings are set with the Wakad–Hinjewadi schedule in mind.

Getting to our Kothrud centre from Wakad
~16 km · 40–60 min (traffic-dependent)
The Wakad–Kothrud route shares the same congested Hinjewadi-corridor traffic, so daily travel isn't practical for most. Our Wakad students therefore default to live online batches and treat the Kothrud classroom as a weekend option.
Wakad's strong residential connectivity makes the online format reliable — you're in the same live session as everyone else, just from home.
- Online live: Primary format for Wakad — same live batch and trainer.
- Weekend classroom: Optional in-person sessions in Kothrud on days off.
- Car: 40–60 minutes to Kothrud, traffic-dependent.

Why Wakad students choose Archer Infotech
Wakad's value mirrors Hinjewadi's: a delivery model that respects the IT-corridor commute. Live online batches let you upskill around work, while weekend classroom sessions handle the hands-on and interview-prep parts in person.
With most Wakad learners being working engineers, our cohorts here focus on promotions and role switches into cloud, DevOps and AI — backed by placement and interview support tuned to experienced candidates.
Which batch format suits a Wakad commute?
All four formats teach the same syllabus with the same trainers. The only thing that differs is what your journey from Wakad does to your attendance over a three-to-six month course — which is the part most people get wrong when they enrol. Here is the honest comparison.
| Batch format | How it works from Wakad |
|---|---|
| Weekday classroom — morning | Impractical. Wakad bridge and Datta Mandir Chowk are both at capacity during the morning Hinjewadi flow. |
| Weekday classroom — evening | Possible but unreliable — you are travelling against the returning Hinjewadi traffic, which helps, but the Mula river bridge does not. |
| Weekend classroom | A reasonable 40-minute Saturday run, and the option most Wakad students combine with online weekdays. |
| Live online | The sensible default. Wakad's proximity to Hinjewadi means most students here are working full time on IT-park schedules. |
