India's Best CAT Educators | Ranked via Real Votes from CAT Aspirants

Summary

How the survey was conducted

• The rankings are based on responses from students enrolled in paid coaching, rather than people judging educators only from free YouTube content.
• The host says he removed suspected spam responses, contacted some students, and compared survey feedback with feedback from his mentees to check whether the comments seemed credible.
• The host cautions that the results reflect the survey’s respondents, not necessarily every CAT aspirant. He recommends using the rankings as a starting point and watching demo lectures before choosing a teacher.

Coaching enrollments in the survey

The host reports that the largest shares of responses came from:

• iQuanta: 35.8%
• Aarambh Academy: 22.8%
• An unnamed coaching provider in the subtitles: 14.6%
• Elites Grid: 12.2%

He also mentions smaller shares for MBA School (about 3%) and PW (about 5%). Some provider names in this part of the auto-generated subtitles are unclear.

Quant educators

1. Raman Tiwari — Aarambh Academy (9.75)

   • Praised for understanding where students who are weak in maths tend to get stuck, and for explaining difficult points patiently and simply.
   • Described as a complete Quant teacher covering Arithmetic, Geometry, Algebra, and other areas.
   • Feedback also highlights a structured course that progresses from basic to advanced material while staying focused on what is relevant to the exam.

2. Ravi Prakash — Rodha (9.16)

   • Praised for clear explanations and strong conceptual teaching across Quant topics.
   • Described as a complete package.
   • His course is considered lengthy because it includes extra material. This may suit students who want depth but be less convenient for those seeking a more exam-focused schedule.

3. Honey Malhotra — Elites Grid (8.53)

   • Particularly praised for teaching Arithmetic and for his dedication.
   • Students reportedly appreciated the effort put into long or intensive lectures.
   • Feedback suggested his strengths were more concentrated in Arithmetic, rather than spanning the same breadth as the top two.

DILR educators

1. Gaurav Sir — Elites Grid (8.73)

   • Ranked first, though no DILR educator received a score above 9.
   • Praised for dedication, humour, and creating a lighter atmosphere in a demanding subject.
   • Regular tests after important topics were also highlighted as useful for revision.

2. Sameer Sir — Aarambh Academy (8.2)

   • Reviews were mixed. Supporters valued his challenging sets and said the practice helped them handle difficult DILR questions.
   • Some students felt the sets were tougher than necessary, particularly when the exam was easier.
   • The host says feedback improved as students came to value difficult practice and as the teaching became more comprehensive, covering basic to advanced material.

3. Joint third:

   • Ravi Prakash — Rodha
   • Amit Panchpatia — iQuanta
   • Both received scores around 8, with only a small difference between them. Ravi Prakash was praised for handling complex sets; Amit Panchpatia was praised for recapping solutions so students could review the reasoning after a set was solved.

VARC educators

1. Joint first:

   • Lokesh Sir — Aarambh Academy (9.2)
     • His SAP technique was frequently praised, as were his methods for Critical Reasoning and grammar.
     • Students described his lectures as engaging and said he provides lecture summaries afterward.
     • The host relays his advice to watch lectures attentively—like a film that requires thought—rather than passively.
   • Gejo Sir — Career Launcher (9.4)
     • The score came from only three responses, so the host placed him jointly first rather than treating the small sample as decisive.
     • His Beast Method and VARC 1000 course were mentioned positively, along with his engaging teaching style.
     • His classes are conducted entirely in English, which the host notes may be a consideration for students who prefer instruction in Hindi as well.

2. Shavana Ma’am (8.6)

   • Praised for her skimming approach to identifying a passage’s main idea.
   • Students also valued her method of reading the questions before returning to the passage.

3. KD Sir — Rodha (8.5)

   • Praised for teaching option elimination and for engaging classes.
   • His approach emphasizes reading the full RC passage and questions rather than relying on shortcuts.

Overall takeaway

The video presents student feedback as a way to compare teaching styles, not as a definitive judgment of who is best for everyone. The host encourages aspirants to consider their own needs—such as preferred language, desired depth, and whether they want exam-focused or more extensive instruction—and to watch demo lectures before enrolling.
