“Firstly, a note of gratitude to Kerala State Civil Service Academy and it’s staff and faculty for being an important part of my UPSC Personality Test preparation.I have been part of the Adoption Scheme at the Academy. I attended an orientation session, and a one to one with Jayakrishnan Sir and a mock interview. Apart from that Kerala State Civil Services Academy organized the stay at Kerala House, in Delhi.One thing I can say with complete assurance is that while it was a modest part of my preparation journey, it was a very significant one. The words of Ishita Ma’am during orientation—to remember that the interview is a conversation with senior colleagues and to enjoy the process— stayed with me throughout. The one to one session and mock interview hasalso boosted myconfidence.Iwishthis institution, all the very best and continue your good work.”
