 I'm 34 years old and I managed to get 730th rank in UPSC civil service examination in my second attempt. Honestly, this would not have been possible if it wasn't for my association with Shankara A.S. Academy. I managed to clear the main examination in my first attempt but could not crack the final list. I come from a small village called Ayanath in Kerala. I will show you the 12th rank of Shankara A.S. Academy in 2017 which is after my graduation and joined the BC impact. Looking back, it was the most important decision of my life because it was an unbelievable learning experience for me. I've been constantly associated with Shankara A.S. Academy throughout my UPSC journey. The high standard faculty there really helped to moan my thought process and general intelligence to the rigorous needs of the preliminary examination of UPSC. The answer-writing sessions with the faculty and the motivational guidance of mentors really contribute to my preparation for the main examination. Residence and social assistance are invaluable for the optional preparation for me. Going in for the UPSC interview, the interview guidance program and the peer review sessions really were comprehensive and confidence-boosting for me. The proficiency and the care given by the staff of Shankara A.S. Academy to today's students is really unparalleled. An attempt of becoming a civil servant, the entire team of Shankara A.S. Academy conspired together to help me realise it. And for that, I'll be forever grateful to them. Thank you.
