An Honest Review of Gurukul Sure60: Pros, Cons, and the Truth Behind Success Stories

Are you considering enrolling in Gurukul Sure60 to prepare for the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) exams? In this comprehensive review, I’ll share my experience of being a student here for over a month. I aim to present the truth, leaving the decision up to you. Let’s dive into the pros and cons, and dispel some of the misleading information that exists online.

Pros of Attending Gurukul Sure60

The only true advantage of Gurukul Sure60 that stands out is their strict policy on mobile phone usage. While this measure is intended to help students focus, you can still access your phone during the weekends. Restrictions on technology can be helpful for those prone to distractions, but it’s important to weigh the trade-offs.

Cons and Issues at Gurukul Sure60

Aggressive Fining Policies

The issues at Gurukul Sure60 start with their overly punitive policies. What’s initially meant to be a disciplinary tool has turned into a source of revenue. Here are some examples:

Napping in the Library: Fines applied for briefly closing your eyes. Restroom Usage: Penalties for using the restroom outside of scheduled hours. Transporting Devices: Additional fines if you bring your laptop or tablet to your room, where they risk damage from rats. Library Entry: Fines for every doubtful instance of late entry, regardless of severity. Mock Tests: OMR tests that often contain mistakes, and compulsory to complete, with fines ranging from INR 200 to INR 10,000 for minor infractions.

The focus seems to be on collecting fines rather than providing quality education. The fees are deducted from a security deposit of INR 3,000, and once this fund is exhausted, students are forced to deposit more security money. This can be a significant financial burden.

Doubt-Clearing Teachers and Study Materials

The teachers in the doubt-clearing sessions are no better than the students, and the guidance and study materials provided are not effective for SSC success. It appears that the main goal is to ensure timely payment of fees and fines, rather than enhancing students' preparation.

Living Conditions and Health Concerns

Limited food options and the quality of the food make it difficult to maintain a nutritious diet. Additionally, some students have reported medical issues without proper support from the Gurukul. The health and wellbeing of students matter, and this is a critical concern that should be addressed.

Success Stories and Credit Misattribution

The success stories touted by Gurukul are usually misleading. Many of the so-called toppers were either naturally gifted and would have succeeded regardless, or were paid for promotional purposes. Gurukul often takes credit for their success, falsely inflating their role in their achievements.

Financial Impact

It’s imperative to consider the financial burden of attending Gurukul Sure60. Parents' hard-earned money is often wasted here, as the true benefits of the education provided are questionable.

Conclusion

If you’re enrolling because of mobile phone addiction, think twice. By the time you pay the fines, you could afford a new phone or find other ways to manage your device. For your safety and security, consider keeping your phone with a trusted family or friend.

Do not be swayed by the success stories. Many so-called toppers do not attribute their success to Gurukul Sure60, and some are actually paid to promote the institute.

Before making a final decision, read the list of GPCs (Gurukul Sure60 Policies and Conditions) closely. I sincerely hope that this review will help you make an informed choice and spread awareness about the truth behind Gurukul Sure60's marketing and practices.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
