Byju did a free quant workshop yesterday at the JyothiNivas College,koramangala.
Nearly 250 people attended the workshop.
Byju started with Speed Calculation techniques.The first thing was how to convert all divisions to single digit divisions.Then he moved on to squares and square roots.He spent a good 20 minutes on these techniques.
Then he moved on to Algebra.He emphasized on converting a standard sum to a specific sum using
simple sample values.He showed some examples where using this strategy simplifies the problem.
He spent some time on geometry and Permutation and Combination.
A major part of the workshop was on NUMBERS.He showed the use of power cycles.He also explained how Basic remainder theorem,Fermat's theorem,Chinese remainder theorem can be used to find the remainders.
Merely stating the content of the workshop is of no use to anybody.I do realize that.But my grasp on the techniques that Byju explained yesterday is very limited.In a few days , I hope to practice some of the techniques/Methods and gain a much better understanding.At that point in time I will make detailed posts on the techniques and how they can be used to solve CAT problems.
Coming to Byju himself, He is enormously talented.There is no doubt there.
But he certainly doesnot suffer from humility.He brags and boasts about
his capabilities every couple of minutes.We have to sit through that.But if
we can tolerate his arrogance , which stem from his superior capabilities ,
there is a lot to gain from his classes.His classes last continuosly for 4+ hours and
he teaches to a class of 200+ people.Inspite of these huge numbers , the takeaway
is huge and can make a difference.

Byju CAT Classes
When I went to Jyothi Nivas College to take the mock,a few people were
standing outside the college issuing a notice for a free quant workshop by
Byju.The notice said that Byju was a serial CAT topper .
Since the workshop was supposed to start at 1 PM only , I thought I will
take the mock and then attend the workshop.But the mock got over only
at 2 PM and I had to miss the workshop.
I returned home and googled Byju. There were lots of positive reviews for
the classes that he conducts.Some folks had reviewed his classes in a
Pagalguy thread for Bangalore coaching centers.
Looks like Byju is doing another workshop this coming Saturday at 4 PM.
Venue:Jyothi Nivas College.
If you were one of those guys who missed the last workshop, go for this.
Best of Luck..............................
