preparation as I was a working candidate. I would definitely recommend SIA for future aspirants!!! Mrs. Lavanya P
Online Test Series Candidate - Sub-Registrar Even though it was not a pandemic situation, I had chosen Online test series, because I won't skip any
tests due to my personal reasons and I can rewrite my missed test. The explanations were well designed
and it was so easy for me to crack the examination in the very first attempt. Thank you to SHANKAR IAS
ACADEMY!!!
Ms.Indhumathi P
Offline Test Series Candidate - Sub-Registrar
Despite taking coaching in other institutes, I could not clear the TNPSC exams. Through one of my friend’s reference,
I had an opportunity to visit Shankar IAS Academy and attended the classes. It created much confident for me because
their test batch structure, way of organizing the test batch, discussion, etc helped me to find the correct track of
approaching the exam which I missed in my previous training institutes. The test batch helped me to cover the syllabus
including school books in a comprehensive manner. Within a year of joining Shankar IAS Academy, I have cleared the
TNPSC Group II (OT) exam and got selected for Sub Register Post. Thank you Shankar IAS Academy!!! for your valuable
and timely guidance.
Ms. Malini Jeyashree
Offline Test Series Candidate - DCTO The prelims Test Series for TNPSC Group II of Shankar IAS Academy is very useful for me to crack
Prelims in My very First Attempt .The Test series has both factual questions and analytical questions
which helped me to attend questions in Exam easily. It also helped me to analyse my preparation

about each question and also provided tactics of approaching Questions in TNPSC Exam. Thank you
SHANKAR IAS ACADEMY!!!
Ms. Vaishali
MOSJE Candidate - Assistant in Highway Department
I had chosen offline test series and I regularly took all tests despite many personal issues
and whenever I miss the test, I used to take up the same at home. The explanations were
well designed and it was so easy for me to understand and crack the examination despite
of all odds. Thank you to SHANKAR IAS ACADEMY!!! And their faculty team.
Mr.Kaliraj
Regular Batch Candidate - Senior Inspector of Co-op Societies
Myself Karthik and Currently working in COOPERATIVE Department, Tamil Nadu as Senior inspector. The problem with civil services examinations is actually the competition. So the right guidance is the key. One can keep studying meaninglessly for years and may not be able to succeed in these exams. I was one who lost a year studying here and there. I joined Shankar IAS academy in 2017 for Group 1 exam but I failed to Crack the exam due to a few mistakes and in 2018 I appeared for Group 2 OT and cleared it in my first attempt. I totally stick with the preliminary test batch. I did not get the best scores in the beginning, and during the review meet I got opportunity to speak to Mr Sivabalan sir who insisted me to focus on core area of the subjects in which I was struggling and I consistently followed his instructions and started to focus on the syllabus given for test series. I cleared the prelims of Group 2 OT.
Mr. Karthik
