Crash Course was released on Amazon Prime Video in India and worldwide on August 5, 2022.
Most of the critics found Crash Course as a spin-off version of Netflix series Kota Factory. Archika Khurana for The Times of India rate 3/5 stars and wrote "'Crash Course' has nothing new to offer in terms of insights. One thing that remains constant throughout the show, if not more, is that you will miss Kota Factory's Jeetu Bhaiya and his words of wisdom..."
Prateek Sur for Outlook rated 2.5/5 stars and wrote "'Crash Course’ is a hard-hitting and realistic view of today's education system. Its heart is in the right place, however, it’s the sloppy writing that kills the fun."
Ruchi Kaushal for Hindustan Times wrote "Crash Course stands far from Kota Factory in realism but does take credit for addressing student suicides, parental pressure, the distractions they face away from home, love angles, teenage pregnancy and even drugs." Deepa Gehlot for Scroll.in wrote "There was nothing new to add to the narrative of avaricious coaching classes, pushy parents and vulnerable students. Thus the Amazon Prime Video series Crash Course, directed by actor-writer Vijay Maurya from a script by Manish Hariprasad and Raina Roy, treads familiar ground."
Pratikshya Mishra for The Quint wrote "Unlike Kota Factory, the show is more gripping when it’s focusing on the business and the politics of education, especially living through Udit Arora as Binny, the ‘real kingpin’ of Kota".
Namrata Thakker for Rediff.com wrote "The series has 10 episodes with a runtime of 50-odd minutes per episode, and that's too much. The makers could have squeezed the story in seven or eight episodes, making it crisper."
The Pinkvilla focused some light on the web series as Netflix web series Kota Factory and wrote "All in all, Crash Course is a distant relative of Kota Factory, which builds some tension in the first episode but lacks the novelty due to an already iconic series in the same space."
