Shaping Leaders, Shaping India
The Civil Service Institute Pala, established in 1998, is the first civil service coaching centre in Kerala, with a remarkable legacy of over 27 years. It has evolved into a leading institution known for its high‑quality coaching, modern infrastructure, and consistent success in UPSC (IAS, IPS), KAS, Prelims, and Mains examinations.Offering both full‑time foundation courses and weekend batches, the institute caters to the diverse needs of aspirants, ensuring a flexible and focused learning environment.
Managed by the Catholic Archdiocese of Changanacherry, Dioceses of Palai and Kanjirapally, the institute is more than just a coaching centre—it’s a mission to ignite minds, nurture talent, and build a responsible and visionary civil society.
Our goal is to develop tomorrow’s leaders, equipped not only with knowledge but also with values and a sense of purpose to transform the nation.
Just like the River Ganga, which passes through various stages — from its origin at Gangotri as a small stream, through its vigorous mountain course, and finally reaching a calm and placid stage — the Civil Service Institute, Pala, too has undergone a similar journey.

I needed something to boost my confidence. This institute really helped me because, with Sunil Sir, it wasn’t just a brief session like most prominent institutions offer. Instead, sessions lasted 3-4 hours, which allowed for a thorough approach. That really helped me focus on every detail and boosted my confidence.
I’m deeply grateful to Civil Service Institute Pala, where I began my Civil Service journey in 2023 with the PCM Full-time batch. Choosing Malayalam as my optional subject here was a great decision, thanks to the guidance of Baby Sir and Davis Sir. The institute’s calm atmosphere, excellent facilities, and supportive peer group also contributed significantly to my preparation.
A major motivation factor in my preparation journey or rather, what kept me rooted in this dream was the Pala Civil Service Institute. I joined here for the foundation course after completing my 10th grade. The classes were held on every second Saturday. The sessions by Arya R. Nair IRS and Jubin Sir were especially interesting.
I did PCM Full time course and Malayalam Optional at the beautiful green campus of CSIP. I express my heartfelt gratitude to the Institute for helping me to clear Civil Service Examination.
I had attended the full- time course at Pala. I made extensive use of all the resources provided by the Institute. The study atmosphere and the reading facilities helped me boost my preparation.
CSIP offered a peaceful and serene atmosphere and comfortable reading spaces that immensely helped in my intial stages of preparation. Baby sir’s and Davis sir’s classes instilled confidence and interest in me to take up Malayalam optional and soon it became my comfort zone amidst the tiring preparation process.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jubin Sir, who mentored me during my Mains preparation. I am really impressed with the Malayalam optional classes and the test series of CSIP.
It is the intensive study plan of Pala Civil Service Institute that helped me to cover syllabus on time and clear Prelims. The mentorship, reading room and library were also very supportive.
