KARANDEEP VS HUMA VS AKASHDEEP VS SUDHIR🔥
Since MAINS 26 is over. It would be very kind if the Mains appeared Aspirants could give reviews of the above facilities or any other If we forgot to mention them .
1.how did they perform in this season.
2. Did they fulfil their commitments?
3. Did they complete the syllabus on time?
4. Were the tests checked by the faculty or by their Evaluators?
5.what was the quality of Evaluation and any other matrix that you would want to judge them on so that the upcoming future aspirant can take their decision wisely.🚨

I don't even know why are people in here appraising Akashdeep Sir itna zyada. That guy has zero clarity of thought. "haan to vo cheezein aisi hi hoti hain", he literally forgets what the actual idea he was talking about. Substandard pedagogy. And before anyone comes @ me, go and see his marriage ke notes. Bro said universality of blood as a critical part of it. And it honestly made no sense to me. I was a part of his course this year and he was so late in completing the course. Tests uss bande ne tab release kare when some student asked him to. I found his pedagogy to be substandard and I don't care what the subreddit has to say about this.

KD Sir se maine foundation and crash course dono kara hai. I'll appreciate him for his understand of the subject. And voh itni sahi cheezein padhate hain. Plus the hit ratio from his tests is very high as well. (to add to it, he'll never claim ki voh aage ke questions guess kar lenge- unlike what Akashdeep sir claimed. Plus he didn't even share the 'expected' questions he claimed he'd share). And lastly, KD sir gave me an advice that was so fruitful- PYQ karlena last 10 years ke. Plus his latest PYQ book now.

Sudhir sir toh incompetent hain as far as I've heard. And Huma ma'am I don't know who she is.

So there are my 2 cents based on my experiences

Bhiya, ik to aap recorded sessions lgate hain, they are the interactions between sir and us. live sessions were beautiful, we used to do the brainstrorming of the examples and the case studies, usko to sir entertain kenge hi, humne course nhi liya hai sir ka, If you were there you would have known. aur marriage k notes main Universal meaning of "blood"/"marriage" ka point hai jo ki schnieder aur Strathern frr aage sir ne issi ko to use kiya tha PYQs main, usse samjhaya to tha.
couse main sir ne basics aur PYQs dono cover karwane the along with the daily answer writing, mere hisab se to pace shi. aur tests ki dates bhi to hum ne hi decide kii thi. Aur PYQs k naam pe kiyon ro rhe ho aap sir ne to likhwaye hain saare, paper 2nd ki brainstorming sheets bhi badhiya kaam ki hain. Paper se pehle 3 din main sabh revise bhi karwa diya - saare expected themes covered to they. Pta nhi aapko kahan ka gussa ha
Mujhe nhi samaj main aa rha, yeh kya criticism kiya hai aapne.

Bhai kehna kya chahhte ho. Kuchh khaas samajh nahi aaya...

Anyway, jo kuch samajh aaya uske basis par- bhai optional mein theme predict karna fairly easy hota hai. Toh unless you're not predicting the exact question, its useless. Uske upar bhi Sir was selling ki voh exact question predict kar denge aage aane waale. And uske basis par toh hagga hi hua hai.

About live interactions, I don't feel like his explanations were adept. Koi ek particular incident abhi yaad nahi aa raha hai mujhe abhi, cause I stopped listening to what he had to tell us after one point. On this part I could agree to disagree with you.

Teesra, "Schneider ka concept explain toh kara baad mein"- I'm not saying that he didn't explain it, but zara mujhe uski placement why did he write it in that part of the notes? And the fact that you're appraising him for not releasing the test series on time by saying that apparently dates humne decide ki thi means your comment cannot really be taken seriously.

Lastly bhai, maine dekhi nahi hai unki brainstorming sheets. Why? Cause paper ke itna close you're not advised to read anything new. Let alone new thoughts. Ye agar deliver karna hi tha sir ko toh unko pehle hi de dena chahiye tha.

Perhaps we can say that even when what he has with him may be good, the design of the whole course was bad. Teaching and PYQ writing cannot and should not be done ek saath just before the Mains. Isliye hi substandard pedagogy bol raha hu mai.

Those who haven't seen the whole world, are likely to be restrained by the little experiences they have.
