Hussain sardar from 32 common ITG now IRS who is good person but he teaches everyday science as he is teaching 9th class science student he started from mere basic concepts in one lecture he wrote names of nine planets and draw inner structure of earth in 2 hours lecture only and Pak affarirs is taught by a serving CSP officer and gives lecture in urdu and say i will not give you notes and focus on self study so why have we joined acedemy and CA is taught by DIG Ch tassadaq hussain who is currently serving in lahore in punjab police he only gives basic data of every country which can be obtainded from wikipedia and discuss it generally. optional
Subjects are limited now the so called hardest paper of CSS english essay and compostion is taught by pricipal Mr Saleem mirza who sorry to say cannot speak english fluently and his own accent is freakish and can`t teach aspirant of css.I meet principal and informed him that i am waiting for the result and want to improve he said kindly give me your Snap,name and roll number of css 2012 for acedemy record as it could be helpful for acedemy in near future maybe they want to get Credit if i get passed or get a allocation
now let me tell you about aspirant they were mostly science student and most of them were working for their masters degrees and they dont know about ABC of CSS exams and were blindly working on acedemy teacher guidelines which i believe is not up to mark to even pass the exam and energy backup of acedemy is of poor therefore i decided to quite toppers acedemy to save my money and energy and stop wasting my time and start self study but i will suggest students to please learn from my experience and start self study for css 2013 and dont waste their money and energy in acedmies who are only money making insitituies and may allah help you
(AMEEN)

Seniors and aspirants please comments on my experience of CSS acedmies in lahore your comments are welcomed

I personally forbade tens of people who asked whether they should join an academy.

At last, Sense prevailed.

Sir although these Academies are minting money. Now my question for you is that is it better to take individual tution from the subject specialist and did u do so? (Especially for Essays and Composition on any other subject)

There's absolutely no harm in taking guidance from subject experts/individual teachers particularly in the subjects where you require it the most such as English. I did not go to the individual teachers because there aren't many options here at Islamabad.
