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
Cons
I don't think anything better needs to be done

Pros
Conceptually, he's top-notch. He doesn't waste time teaching every possible trick or shortcut that's irrelevant for the exam like some other faculties do. just pure concepts. makes even the toughest topics feel easy af
Cons
He never replied to any of my doubts, and this is the only area where he needs to improve. Actually, not just mine, he barely replies to anyone's doubts
Good to go if you're okay with not getting doubt support from the faculty
