TESTIMONIALS
Gajanana Bale - IAS, 2021 Batch
I will be forever thankful to Shivakumar Sir, a Dronacharya in my life, for being a friend, philosopher, and guide to me throughout this journey. UPSC is an exam of intelligence, perseverance, sacrifice and utmost dedication. Nonetheless, thanks to Shivakumar Sir's individual attention, I was able to identify my answer-writing mistakes. I took his advise to heart when writing my answers, and it greatly helped me in achieving success. Whether it was answer writing or interview preparation, he was always there to offer advise and encouragement.
Nikhil Patil, IPS, 2021 Batch
Here I will like to mention the contribution of Akka IAS academy in my success. I met Shivakumar sir right at the start of mains preparation and identified the topics on which I needed to concentrate. I took almost all of the tests given at the centre, stayed afterwards, and immediately discussed the paper with a sir and my peers. This was a big eye-opener for me. Ultimately, I was able to ace my mains thanks to the excellent quality of the questions and the thorough explanations . Last but not least, Sir's sole guidance has taught me far more than any other coaching class.
Anand Kaladagi IPS 2019 Batch
Firstly, let me tell you. Shivakumar Sir's classes were not only enjoyable for me but also fascinating. After each class, I was consistently writing Kannada literature answers. Sir was patiently evaluating my answers each time and pushed me to write frequently. The Akka IAS Academy's Test Series, which I joined, has always impressed me for its outstanding quality. My 279 marks in Kannada literature, which was the second-highest score that year, were undoubtedly a result of test series and sir's guidance.
Manoj Ramanath Hegde IPS, 2021 Batch
For me, Shivakumar Sir was always encouraging, kind, understanding, and supporting. Along with clarifying our queries, Shivakumar sir was always sympathetic to aspirants like me and used to boost our confidence by pointing out our best qualities. I am delighted and grateful to have had the opportunity to study under Shivakumar Sir. Most importantly, I was able to become an IPS thanks to a mock interview with Smt. Ratna Prabha IAS(Retd.) at the Akka Academy centre. Besides correcting my mistake, she also offered a solution, boosted my confidence, and encouraged me to speak freely in an interview.
