Great lectures, but tough grader

Great lectures and explains complex topics very simply, but marking is quite harsh. You really have to write to-the-point to get a decent grade.

Sir teaches very well,good mannered,his advices are helpful.. Overall he is genuinely very Good teacher. But Sir if you only be a little generous about marking, just a little, slightly, it could save you from many curses,lol.i mean I value you,but i see everyone talking negative about you after results,it feels you dont deserve it.to be honest i never get good marks in your courses either,but i think you r a really good teacher and little flexibility in marks would only do good to you and us.

He is very punctual, fair to his job but hos marking method is just absolute scrupolous.Anyone writes anything in his own way. He rarely gives marks. But try enough to make us understand. Another thing he always makes theoretical cls gloomy, and copy to slide is the main way to get mark in his course. Cover a gigantic syllabus Overall just an average faculty but energised

Billal sir is a good human being tbh.

Billal sir is a good human being tbh. But nowadays, he has become so rude and he started marking in so narrowly. If you're seeing this sir, you have qualities to become one of the bestt teachers of the department but your recent behavior is exacerbating these qualities. You could have set some criterion before starting to check scripts. There are lot of people who do not deserve to get 0 only due to calculation error, they might have done everything right except the calculation.

Dear Sir, with due respect, please remember that we are humans, not machines.

Dear Sir, with due respect, please remember that we are humans, not machines. The perfection you expect from us is the result of years of experience that you already have, while we are still struggling to learn. Many of us carry burdens beyond the classroom, family responsibilities, financial pressure, and tuition jobs. When exams become too unpredictable and grading too strict, it feels as if all our hard work is ignored. We chose Finance with hope, not regret, choosing Finance over AIS.
