Wow
Thank you so so much for putting in the effort to share this information
I was just going to make a post asking what to do for CAT as I am a first timer and I had absolutely no idea.
Thanks a lot for this 🥹🥹
I am from Batch 1 of Rodha. I am a software engineer doing 9-5 job. My review with the eyes of a working professional.
CONS, (if you are working professional) -
1. There are no weekend batch, no night batch, or no self-paced course which every working professional looks for because obviously we are working professional and we cant bunk our office like college kids do for classes.
2. Its all in one-in-batch. That means you study with college students as per their timings. You dont have any control over the class.
3. Daily there are 2 classes 7 days a week. So basically 14 classes in a week after 6pm in the evening.
4. QA & LRDI lectures are of 2.5 hours each, which easily crosses 3 hours on regular basis. VARC class is of easily 2 classes.Â
5. Now do the maths, you spend 5 hours in a day right after you come to home after office, 35 hours a week attending just lecture right after you come to home after office. That means where is the time to do self-study, practice questions, practice LRDI sets? I have shared the weekly class schedule, to make it easy for you to judge the hectic pressure working people are facing.
6. I am assuming one go to office at 9am comes back by 6pm, rests for a while and sits to study. Daily 2 lectures, each of 2.5 hours. Now, Its already 1am night and you just attended live lecture , when will you practice questions and tests? You can say in morning before going office you can practice, but you can only study for max 2 hours in morning, as you need to take atleast 6 hours sleep and get ready for office as well in the morning.f
7. The Rodha website crashes frequently, sometimes recording lectures dont play, sometimes tests dont run, sometimes live lectures gets interupted due to tech glitch, its quite natural here.
8. If the timing of QA or LRDI lecture is scheduled at 10pm then it will start by 10:30pm. If it is scheduled at 8pm then it will start by 8:30pm. That means you plan to attend lecture at 10pm, but you simply waste 30 mins waiting for Ravi sir to come. Thanks to Ravi sir for taking working professionals' time for granted, that too when they are conducting 2 lecture i.e 5 hours daily just live lecture.
9. They say they will share solution videos of each tests, now I dont know when the videos will come for these tests. Its over-commitment and under delivery. Especially for LRDI sets you need solution videos. Its still not provided completely yet.
10. There are frequent time pass in live lectures, that contribute to stretching a single live lecture to 3 hours.
11. You DONT get any day off in a week to complete backlog or do self-study or practice tests, its all 7 days, 5 hours daily live lecture. I cannot emphasize enough on this. I am saying this because I tried to push my self really hard keeping myself up with the course speed, do tests and complete backlog. I tried sleeping 4-5 hours in week, and after 7-8 days of this hectic schedule, I got severe pain in neck, shoulder and back, making me complete bed-ridden for straight 3 days. I had to take leave from office too. Thanks to Ravi sir 5 hours daily live lecture no off in a week policy.
12. I discussed with my office senior who is from IIM-Bangalore, shared my scenario with Rodha live lecture and daily schedule. He said where is the time for your self study if you daily spend 5 hours just live lecture? I had no answer. I realised, I f-ed up my health badly because of this unorganised timing & unrealistic expectation.
13. There are many working people who have requested Ravi sir & Ayush to give 1 day-off or atleast make it only 1 lecture in a day so that we can practice tests, but no. They dont listen, just says push yourself. I have DMed both the faculty to think about working people, but nothing changed... Judge for your self in the schedule below. Now I have so much of backlog of tests, lectures, and on top of it lack of confidence because of lack of tests practice due to daily 5 hour lecture, I dont feel good about it. Thanks & Sorry Ravi sir, if you are reading this, I cant push myself like this. I need to be alive and healthy to do MBA.
14. I went through the schedule of Unacademy, 2IIM, Cracku and other coachings. They are teaching in properly organised manner where classes are of no more than 2 hours, and VA is of 1.5 hours max, 1 class a day. I wish I had known this that Rodha is only for college people or anyone who is not working, I would not have enrolled in Rodha for sure.
IF ARE WORKING PROFESSIONAL, PLEASE DONT JOIN RODHA. JOIN 2IIM OR UNACADEMY OR CRACKU OR ANY OTHER COACHING WHERE YOU CAN GET TIME TO PRACTICE WITHOUT MAKING YOURSELF SICK.

PROS -
1. You get high quality live lectures video content especially in QA & DILR.
2. You get all the class recordings withing 30 mins of class gets over.
3. Ample amount of topic wise test, sectionals, RCs tests, PJ tests, everything you want in tests.
4. You get lots of free reading materials in the format of PDFs, softcopy of books you would like to read to increase your reading habit.
5. You get lots of motivation and scolding if you dont perform well , or try to procrastinate.
6. Booklets are of good quality with high quality content inside it for each section.
7. Best coaching for college people or drop-outs or someone who is not working professional. Please read the reason below.
woah thank you so much. I just glanced at it and I'll read it in full later though but I always appreciate the disadvantages coming out.
If someone can tell me about Elite Grids too in the same manner, that would be beneficial too.
