If you are even thinking about joining Elite’s Grid, please stop for a minute and read this carefully. I genuinely wish someone had written this before you enrolled because it would have saved you a lot of money, time, and mental stress.

First of all, you need to understand that the biggest issue is not even the content. The biggest issue is the attitude and the system around it. When you join, you expect mentorship, guidance, and support. What you actually get is teachers who come to class, teach, and then disappear. You will message them on WhatsApp with genuine doubts and you will simply not get replies. You paid around forty thousand rupees expecting support and mentorship, but you are basically left on your own to figure everything out.
Now let’s talk about Hunny sir. Yes, he knows basics. You will understand concepts during class, that part is fine. But CAT quant is not school maths. What you actually need is speed building, exam level thinking, and strategy. Instead, you will sit through extremely long classes where the same type of questions keep getting repeated with different names. It feels productive in the moment because you are attending classes for hours. But later when you give mocks you will realize that your speed has not improved at all.
And the worst part is the ego. Hunny sir constantly talks about bad reviews during class and tries to emotionally convince students that people criticizing him are wrong. You will literally sit there listening to a teacher defend his reputation instead of focusing on actual preparation. If you try to give constructive feedback, it will not be welcomed. You will quickly realize that criticism is not something they handle well at all.
Then come the marathon classes. You will sit through insanely long sessions, sometimes stretching for hours and hours, especially close to CAT. At first you might think this is dedication. After a while you will realize it is just exhausting. Your brain stops absorbing information after a point. You are just sitting there trying to survive the class instead of actually learning something useful. By the time the session ends you will be too tired to practice questions or give mocks.
And this is exactly how you get trapped. You will always feel behind on lectures. Because of that you will delay mocks. Then months pass and you suddenly realize you have spent most of your time watching classes instead of actually improving your performance.
VARC is honestly a disaster. If that section is weak for you, you will have to depend on outside sources anyway. Many explanations feel forced or unclear. Instead of properly understanding why an option is correct, you are simply told that it is correct. That completely destroys your confidence in reading comprehension.
LRDI content is decent in class, but the moment the class ends you are again on your own. Doubts rarely get answered. Gaurav sir almost never replies to messages. Structured follow up support basically does not exist. For a premium coaching program, that level of support is honestly shocking.
The portal and app are another headache. Everything is locked inside the platform. You cannot download slides or materials. You cannot properly revise offline. If you want to study something again you are forced to scroll through recordings or take screenshots like it is 2015. For the amount of money you paid, the platform feels outdated and unnecessarily restrictive.
The testing system is also confusing. Difficulty levels are poorly marked. Sometimes even extremely difficult previous year CAT questions are labeled as easy. Without proper benchmarking you cannot accurately judge your performance. Topic tests are limited and many do not even have proper video solutions.
Another frustrating thing is the complete lack of peer interaction. There is no proper discussion ecosystem where students can interact, discuss doubts, or learn from each other. Preparing for a stressful exam like CAT already feels isolating, and this system makes it even worse.
And when the exam gets closer, exactly when your anxiety is at its highest, support becomes even slower. Responses take longer. Mentors seem overwhelmed. You will feel completely stuck at the worst possible time.
CAT preparation is already mentally exhausting. The whole point of coaching is to make the process clearer and more structured. Instead, what you experience here is exhaustion, weak VARC guidance, zero mentorship, long draining classes, and a rigid system that pushes you into passive learning.
If you could go back in time, you would never choose EG again. That is the honest truth.
So if you are considering joining Elite’s Grid, please think very carefully. Do not join blindly just because of marketing or hype. Your time and mental energy during CAT preparation are extremely valuable.
And once you lose those months, you cannot get them back.
