AIR 71, and 281 to 324 in BITSAT via English & LR
I found the lectures and the problems, the worksheets, everything very helpful, including the mocks.
01 · The journey Stayed in Rajahmundry for a JEE-only college
After class 10 Ashrith nearly left for Hyderabad, then stayed and joined a big local college that shuffled him between the top sections. The environment was closed around JEE — he only learned about BITSAT and UGEE after Mains session one.
02 · The turning point English and LR as the BITSAT lever
Researching options, he realised BITSAT has English and LR sections most people under-prepare. He took the crash course after BITSAT session one (281) while still in JEE mode, and session two came in at 324 — a jump he credits to that course.
03 · What worked Specialising where others do not
What he finds special is that the platform specialises in areas everyone else ignores while they chase JEE Main. That same non-JEE focus is what carried into his UGEE preparation and AIR 71.
English & LR crash course
The gap he names between session one and a 324 second attempt.
Non-JEE focus
Specialises in exams and sections JEE coaching leaves alone.

Okay. So, hello guys. I am N.
I'm from IIIT Hyderabad. Today, here we have one of our club mates. His name is Ashrith and he has scored an allIndia rank of 71 through Phodu Club in UGEE.
So, Ashrith introduce yourself to the audience. Hi everyone, I'm Ashrith and I'm from Rajahmundry Pradesh. Okay.
Ash, so can you tell me about your your exam scores of how did J go and any other competitive exams go? Well, I can say I humbled J. My main strength was around 10,000 and my advanced rank was around 4,000.
Clearly not what I was expecting and I won't be getting any branches that I would be willing to go to. No worries. But now that you're in IIIT Hyderabad, so you've got a very good college in your hand.
So, so can you tell me how your 11th and 12th was? Just take me to the through the entire process of how it was of when you studied, when you didn't study or if you hit any low point in between. After finishing my 10th, you know, I was stuck in this loop whether I should go outside my, you know, city or should I stay right here.
And at one point I was almost about to go out to Hyderabad but then you know something came up and yeah I stayed here in Rajahmundry we have in a big college. So in that college I was in the first two sections where I kept on shuffling up and down. So yeah, my college life was pretty stable and I did not have much idea about these other exams besides J and my college only focused on J.
So it was a closed environment after my main session one that's when I started to know about these other exams like big set and UGEE. Okay, that's great. Yeah, go on.
Go on. So, as I was looking for options since that's when I learned that bits has also got an English and LR section which not many people will study for that hard. So, I researched and I found and I came across your Phodu Club page.
I was like, "Yeah, this seems, you know, good." So, I took the English and all crash course after my BITSAT session one because I didn't really have that much time as I was preparing for my J. My BITSAT session one score was 281 and my bits session two score was 324. You know, that's a huge improvement and I can, you know, give my success to Phodu Club for that English and crash course really helped.
Okay. So what do you like about Phodu Club? Can you just tell me one or two things?
What I find special about Phodu Club is like nobody you know specializes in this area and u everybody's focused on JEE Mains. The fact that you implemented this idea and that you implemented it well is what caught on to me. I found the lectures and the problems, the worksheets, everything very helpful, including the mocks.
Okay. So now let's say that you are at the fence of joining Phodu Club. So, so how would you recommend Phodu Club to your other peers or like someone younger than you who's coming to ask you for which uh which coaching should I join or or which platform should I take?
How would you recommend Phodu Club to them? I would say like you can close your eyes and go to Phodu Club ma'am. I have that much confidence with Phodu Club.
All right. Thank you. Ash, is there anything else you want to say?
No. Okay. Thank you, Ashrith.
So, but sorry once again, congratulations on scoring all India rank 71 in UGEE and I'm I'm very excited to see you in Triple I. All the best. Thank you.
