 I am Arvind from Dindical, my graduation is from BTEC Information Technology and in 2016 I have started my journey with UPSA in Shankar A.S. Academy and this is my fourth attempt, my optional is geography. In my first attempt I went till the main stage and I was not able to clear mains and in this attempt that is to 2020 attempt I was able to clear all the three stages of this exam and Shankar A.S. Academy has been really helpful in all the three stages. I was a part of PCM batch of Shankar A.S. Academy, the faculties here are really helpful and they have very good knowledge in the subjects and doubts has been cleared by them always at any time and also Shankar A.S. Academy has been helpful in providing good content and online platforms also specially I.S. Parliament and civil speedy I used to follow it regularly and religiously that has helped me really in my problems and mains stage and also in the interview program of Shankar A.S. Academy is also very good because not only mock interviews but also everyday training sessions, group discussion sessions and it has been a one month long course for interview when it comes to mains test series, Shankar A.S. Academy test series is one of the best test series in India because they give us personalized feedback. I was able to interact with the subject faculty and also the person who is correcting so that they were able to point out the mistakes that I made in the mains test series and this helped me to correct the mistakes that I have been doing in the mains test series and also not only the staffs but also the seniors and the community present here has been really helpful specially after my first problems, first attempt, I was not able to clear two problems continuously that demotivated me but the staffs here and the seniors who come here regularly has motivated me and they were able to identify the mistakes that I was doing in my attempts, the previous attempts so that I was able to correct it and my seniors and the staffs input has helped me throughout the journey and I would like to give a special thanks to Shankar Sir. He used to quote in class from Alchemist that when your dream is true, whole world will conspire to fulfill your dream. I do not know whether the whole world has conspired to fulfill my dream or not but I can surely say that Shankar IS Academy has helped in all the ways possible to complete this journey successfully. Usually every many institutes provide a platform for UPSC but I would say that Shankar IS Academy and its team has travelled with me throughout the journey and which has been really helpful for me and I have been coming to this institute since 2016 almost every day so I feel like this is my second home. So a simple thanks would not be enough and I owe my success to Shankar Sir and Shankar IS Academy.
