 Hi all, I am Suraj Benkeya, I secured all India rank 1 in 2020 Indian for a service examination. I am currently Indian Ordnance Factory Service Officer. I joined the service in 2019 after the 2018 service examination. I am here to share my experiences with about the Shankarayas Academy in this journey. To be honest, I started associating with Shankarayas Academy from my first interview and at that time I was only associated with Shankar during my interviews, they helped me out during my interview phase. But later on after getting selected into this service, Shankar kind of became my go-to place, especially the Trivandrum Center, became my go-to place to just go and sit down and study whenever I want to. And this year when I decided to skip civil services exam and focus on my forest service exam, I think Shankar was the first place I contacted, Linnaman was the first person I contacted and told her that I wanted to come to Trivandrum and prepare. And I sat in Shankar library for around 2 months continuously to prepare for forest. And later on for the interview also, I went to Shankar for a few days to prepare again. Also for forest services, since the two optionals were alien to me, forestry and geology were my optionals, I had to take coaching Shankarayas and the classes were really good and really helped me gain a perspective about how the forest is really being carried out in the field. Also Karthik Ensar went out of his way during my interview preparation to give me back to back 100 mocks, which really helped me improve my answers and improve my overall interview experience a lot. And most importantly, I think that even during my interview phase, the only mock interview I attended this year was by Shankar and the one mock interview I attended and that was by Shankar and Linnaman arranged a few one-on-ones with a few senior bureaucrats, senior IFS officers as well, which really helped me gain more perspective as well. So all in all, I just want to thank each and everyone from the Trivandrum branch as well as the entire Shankar Academy, especially the Trivandrum branch who made me very comfortable. It is like a place I can go to any day. So I'd like to thank each and everyone at the Shankars for that. And I hope that getting a good rank was doing justice to this kind of support I got from not just from Shankars, but from everyone else. But yeah, that's it. So thank you so much.
