Fortune IAS Academy
About Us
For over 12 years Fortune IAS Academy has walked with aspirants from Kerala — from the first NCERT chapter to the interview room.
Born from a dream to nurture civil servants from Kerala, the academy has guided the highest number of candidates from the state into the civil services. Many of those journeys were made possible through the scholarship program.
Since 2014 the academy has guided more than 560 aspirants into the services. The faculty includes alumni of IIM, NIT and CET, and at least one teacher has cleared the examination in a given year — Saju Vaheed in 2015, Anand in 2016, Hari Kallikkat and Chandni Chandran in 2017, Sreelakshmi Ram in 2018. Guest faculty are invited from Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai. The academy has been written about in Forbes.
The campus at Kowdiar, Thiruvananthapuram, holds more than 700 reading cubicles, a faculty of 70-plus mentors, and a single integrated path from Prelims to the personality test.
