[QUOTE=Seemal;261465]I am currently enrolled at Officer's Academy and much to my plight, most of what ThePhoenix said is true. I have just joined one of the new sections this month and when i first read this article, i sent an email to Sir Hammad to ask for its authenticity. He did not reply and i sent him another email to which i still did not get an answer.
I think this proves that he has nothing to say or deny from the article. He comes very late and i don't have the courage to ask him face on.
I think i will be leaving this academy as it seems to be a waste of time and money. Since i am appearing in 2012, i still have time to ponder my choice of academy.
Anyways thanks ThePhoenix for such an enlightening article/post. God bless you and grant you success in CSS.

P.S. Sir Hammad does not stop provoking us girls and i am sick of his anti-female derogatory remarks.[/QUOTE]

Officers academy also has a hotel? I never knew that....kahan hai?

[QUOTE=mani1;261545]Officers academy also has a hotel? I never knew that....kahan hai?[/QUOTE]

Yes,it was in walton...running by his sister..he used to visit daily there...(hostel for girls)

Just read the first post in the thread and I have to say its pretty spot on. The delay in classes is quite frustrating.

Sir Jaffari was the only reason I went to the academy and skipped almost all the remaining lectures. Then again maybe all the academies are meant to be like this. Maybe the whole point of going to the academy is to interact with others who are preparing for the exams - share ideas with them and have discussions, pretty much like this forum. Oh and Geography lectures were also of great help !

So according to me here are the pros and the cons:

Pros: If you are having trouble with something you will know where to go for help/guidance plus as I said earlier, discussions with other (serious) students can be really really helpful.

Cons: A little expensive and you waste a lot of time there !!

Bottom Line: If you can afford it I'd say go for it. After all you pay 35k for the whole 6 months or so and they teach you more than 8 subjects.

P.S: Get the golden notes from Punjab Univerty's 'Tahir Photocopy shop' for Rs 250.
In fact I get all my notes from that guy instead of paying double the price at the academy you can get them for Rs 0.90/page. A pretty amazing deal I'd say !!

[QUOTE=ThePhoenix;258322]Well firstly thanks for taking the time to read the article.
Secondly, it depends on the person itself if he/she wants to get something out of an experience however bad it might be.
For myself, i learned very little but yes i did get to know the basics about CSS since i have lived and studied abroad for the past five years but i guess any academy will tell you the basics.
One good thing that came out of me joining this academy is that i met some really intellectual people (who didn't like the academy either :P)

Overall, if you want my advice, don't go for OA since its both expensive and has a very casual environment. Such an environment does not foster learning and CSS is all about learning, knowledge and hardwork

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Good luck[/QUOTE]


hi..wat do you think about css department of css they are also doing good....i attend there session and it speaks volumes...on the other hand a lady sitting over there rabia basri was v v helpfil to me..i guess they are bes so far coz i ve been to all the institutes guys...goodluck

its real as mr hammad m so sorry to say but never incourage questions in class and behave as if he is running the country himself..he is not at all an edcationist..i over there felt that m among cheaters not teachers and as far as mr hammad is concern he portrays the approch of dealer not leader....this is a dellima that today ppl hav made education their bussiness and playing with dreams of students coming from all the corners of pakistan just for the sake of css.

[FONT="Arial Black"]As someone who has known Hammad Haider long enough,I don't have a single favourable thing to say about him.To me,he reeks through and through of bad grooming.And he has never known any such thing as work ethics.Other academies might be just as rotten as OA but believe me,it is safer to visit a place that does not have a psycopath on the loose!![/FONT]

I just left the academy yesterday. I was talking to my friends about leaving the academy and Sir Hammad suddenly came behind us and asked me why i am leaving the academy. I told him about his lateness and then the fact that i was not receiving proper guidance and that none of the lectures were making any sense to me and his reply was:

"Aap jaisay logon ko CSS kerna he nai chahiyay. Business background walon ka koi kaam nai hai yahan."

In response i said, "Aap ko lerkiyon sey baat kernay ki tameez he nai hai Sir."
I said that and left fuming. Now is that how you talk to a girl? Kitnay ghalat tareekay sey baat ki hai unhon ney.

I'm sorely disappointed at that loser. :mad:

@seemal
[FONT="Arial Black"]A single conversation with that man brings out how badly he lacks good grooming.He grew up imbibing those street urchin kind of manners!You should not be surprised if he rolled up his sleeves and packed u a big punch!!!You can even count on him for that.Like I said earlier,other academies might be just as bad when it comes to teaching but at least they dont harbour psycopaths.Really,I am not kidding.If u observe his behaviour,it wouldn't take u long to figure out what that something sure is wrong with him.[/FONT]
