Good Things- CKGS states it takes 2 months and in my case they delayed just slightly by week
CKGS Helpline is quite good and they help you in completing documentation as and when required

Bad Things-CKGS does not keep its website status updated and therefore you have to visit govt of India website (gods grace that is updated regularly)
Documentation checklist for CKGS is huge and they discard/return documents when you submit application (waste of time and money for assembling so many docs)
Transit time to consulate takes much longer
Helpline staff is good but due to lack of information the just try to avoid risk by giving you timeline which does not makes sense..for example one of them stated that match up process takes 4-6 weeks...

But overall OCI experience was good considering that you are dealing with Government of India
