Pros
This is perfect for someone who is exam oriented and can trade-off some concept clarity for speed and exam oriented content coverage.
Cons
Doubt support could be better, and the fact that all sums are solved in class and no homework is given might be a con to some.
Great for first attempters and even repeat attempters just due to the fact that how on point and exam oriented the classes are, the only USP imo.

Exam oriented and concept clarity is also great

Talks very badly about other faculty and also rude to students if they contradicts him.
Just ignore the cons and go through his notes and QB, no matter how his nature is, no one can deny he teaches good.

MAY be Good only for those who just want to pass the exam.
Cons
In no way he develops any kind of curiosity for the subject. The below the level examples, comments on other teachers at times is something which you just don't expect from a CA final teacher.

Pros
NOTES N LECTURES ARE JUST EXAM ORIENTED, Good for Rote Learners only.
Cons
Just Rote learning. NO PRACTICAL ORIENTATION / NO practical EX'S. Some times feel burden to watch. Not engaging, couldnt connect to topics well.
wont recommend it, no practical understanding just rote learning, i really couldn't connect with his lectures. Too much Criticism for other faculties, instead of focusing on concepts. After May26 exams I analysed that they are not suitable.

Best for: First Attempt, Concept Building, Working Professionals, Rankers
Pros
No time pass teaching - if this is something that you love then he is the guy for you alongwith excellent concept clarity plus the notes are just too good to ignore
Cons
The hours were high and sometimes it felt like it was being dragged
It is absolutely good for everyone who prefers just teaching and absolutely no other stuff in between. Concept clarity is provided by almost every faculty out there, no time pass and getting in depth is what stood out for me. If you can bear a person speaking AFM for 220 hours, he is the guy to go with!

Pros
Conceptual teaching across all the topics, especially the tricky ones. I've understood the logic of the formulae and the workings only after watching his lectures.
Cons
The hours might feel long in some topics, but the teaching stays relevant and interesting nevertheless.
Great faculty to learn from to have great conceptual clarity and continued interest in the subject. I've scored exemptions in all three papers he teaches (FR, SFM & GFRS(6E)).

I had to memorize only a few formulas, most of them were conceptually explained which removed the need for any memorisation. no nonsense teacher, just a few motivational talks and that too from his own experiences. a separate group for all your doubts and dedicated personnel for the same. I could score 50+ in May 26 attempt

I don't think anything better needs to be done
