What makes the Race2IAS exam special? How does this exam transform thousands of students? Listen to the stories of our participants.

Getting Interviewed by senior Civil Service Officers was the highlight

I was a participant in the Race2IAS Model Civil Service Examination Season 4. The exam gave me the real feel of going through all the stages of the Civil Services Examination. What piqued my interest in this exam was the Personality Test wherein we are interviewed by senior officers in the Indian Civil Service. It is such a great initiative to help students from an early stage to prepare for the UPSC exam and to get an idea about how much perseverance is required to go through all the stages of the examination. Sincere thanks from the bottom of my heart to Team Race2IAS for this wonderful opportunity. Really looking forward to the next season of the exam.
