Student Testimonials

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.
