For some reason, Alok Chakraborty needs an introduction, thirty years in teaching business, name slathered across calcutta for his prowess in cost accounting.This is Alok Chakraborty, discoverer, interpreter, creator of playful and hyperbolic offerings in the classroom, bubblegum-whipped, peripatetic genius, ill-tempered, bad mannered lout, warm hearted, rolling costing puzzles in his head,inviolable, unassailable, corpulent, bald, thick, juicy, fiftyish and unafraid: ladies and gentlemen,I give you the one and only Alok Chakraborty.
If you didn't know him, and you met him for the first time.You'd think he's a former heavyweight boxer or retired alcoholic wrestler.You'd think of anything but a teacher.A clean shaven man, who packed with so much pedagogy dignity that he could have been born in any country on any of the five continents and he would still have become a cost accounting teacher.
His ability to carry himself with martial grace and his talent to instill fear in 21 year old adults is legendary.I don't know any other teacher who could crack the dirtiest of jokes in the class and get away with it.
He has all over the room, cameras, so powerful, that if he zoomed in, he could see how many hair you have on your bum.So unlike the nature of his peers, he would check the home work of each and every student, no matter how much time it takes.if you happen to forget to do his homework, you are in for an embarrassment of epic proportions,he'd make stand up.hold your ears, sometimes bring you to the podium, make you look in the camera, just so the whole class can see you in the giant screen and laugh at you.
Because of his brazen and brusque manner of dismissing your question, if you Had a question, you'd rarely ask and even if you manage to ask you'd rarely get what you were looking for.
Do I understand Alok Chakraborty. Yes. I do.Its not always easy, but I do.I can even relate to him. of course, we weren't supposed to need to. He was supposed to be above that.He was never supposed to be a likable man, and never pretended to be.
He transcends beer tests, barbecue tests, and the rest of the tests of whether he was 'likable' enough as a teacher.It doesn't matter whether i want to have beer with him or not,He is Alok Chakraborty.What he represents is much larger than an individual, even himself.It is not necessarily a good thing that I have come to understand him, but I do. His brand is discipline.He wants you to care to study.He cares for your exam, probably the only teacher who does.
Do I hate Alok Chakraborty? of, course I do.everyone does.If there are 1000 CA finals students that he teaches, I bet they all hate him.But if you ask me out of all the subjects, which one I have given the most attention to, I have to say its cost.I am forced to study cost,everyone is.It's a difficult subject in the context of CA final exams.I think I have had enough, before I start typing about CA final exams and fill another 2-3 pages I've got to click on publish.

I don't hate to him at all. At the CA final level he is the only teacher who aware us about our learning process. He need some knowledge from student that may be a problem but at final level it is required.

hi balram,
nice to hear from you. I know for a fact that, no matter how much we hate him, we will thank him at time of exams.
thanx for visiting the blog.
Dear AJ,
The blog ha been written in such frivolity that in disguise it turns Mr. Alok into a near super man like figure. (hope he doesn't wear undies above his tracks, which he always wears as if he had a major fight with Pants in his past and since then he has renounced them.)
But anyways back to the blog.. Nice work to kick the butt but still save ur ass from the "backfire".
Nice.........

Friend of 5 balled man
Alok sir i TRULY RESPECT n love ur teaching style(Personal attention to every student)...At my IPCC level when i was not knowing a word about cost...You gave direction to me...And as per ur guidelines and teaching i passed me CA IPCC at 1st attempt......For CA Final 2 i'm coming for ur tutions sir.....
this is something called teacher... This man is erratic, completely mad, but a genius... Someone who knows so much, someone who has seen so much, someone who wants you to do better. Unless u meet him u cannot know what He is. If you are in kolkata, then there isn't any other option for studying cost somewhere else... Alok baba ki Jai :)
Being knowledgeable and intelligent does not give you the right to behave like an ass with those who are dependent on you. Alok Chakravorty is arrogant and proudy who cares more about his superiority than the education of his students.
There are several other teachers in Kolkata who're as knowledgeable and intelligent as he is if not more, and none of them attract as much hatred and disdain as he does.
This man gains pleasure from unnecessarily harassing his students, and I'm not talking about home works or his army punctuality demands. On one occasion I had to stand 2 hours outside his classroom with a bunch of other students because we were 1 minute late in returning from a 10 minute lunch break that he gave in an afternoon batch and we were greeted with locked doors with our belonging still inside. Not to mention, our exams were 2 weeks away, and all students can fathom the importance of time during such a stage. Its not a surprise that Mr. Alok did not care about that.
But these cases apart, NO reputed teacher uses foul language is classroom to explain academic concepts and none of them speak in an improper manner in front of girls. His list of qualities goes on and on..
oh! wow ! That has been quite a comment on this post, I am glad u wrote that, Girl I suppose is the gender, unless u are a very sensitive man. Any way point taken. Before Becoming a CA I thought of him as an irrational weirdo, But now if i look at him as a student i think I can forgive his ways of putting things across.
Its almost been close to one year that i have visited my own blog, Glad that ppl read it.
Alok Sir is a sheer genius..doesnt matter what other says but he is the ultimate king of cost accounting..truly i have utmost respect for his knowledge..
He is definitely one of a kind teacher , I took classes from him for both PCC and final few years back.He has a knowledge of a ocean in cost accounting,dere is just no end to it and he genuinely wants his students to pass their exams with good scores and that just mskes him the best
the best teacher that i have met in my whole life
I Don't hate him
He never thought he would have been liked by students..onebof incidents of my class in ipcc..
A student was constantly disturbing making Foolish jokes and Annoying the whole class neither doing homework
sir Cled His dad and told him bt he continued after that also so he Just Refunded whole money instanly and said I cant Destroy other children's life due to you ...
🙏
