WHO WE ARE

Making History Since 2014...

Fortune IAS Academy since its inception in 2014 has brought a sea change in the way civil service coaching is done. A student centric approach with excellent facility and expert faculty has led it to becoming the best civil service coaching institute in South India. In a short span of 6 years Fortune has been able to guide 200+ students into becoming civil servants with integrity who shall remain “the steel frame” of the nation for years to come.

 

The core strength of Fortune is its team of young and dynamic faculty who are updated and attuned to the latest changes in the pattern of UPSC Civil Services Examination. The core team consists of alumni from premier institutes like IIM, NIT and CET who have taken it upon themselves to improve the quality of education in the country. We believe that the quality our results is a reflection of the quality of our team and hence we strive to reach greater heights every year.

 

In fact at least one of our faculties has gone on to crack the exam every year (Saju Vaheed in 2015, Anand in 2016, Hari Kallikat and Chandni Chandran in 2017, Sreelakshmi Ram in 2018). We leave no stone unturned to ensure that the best faculty is provided for every subject and hence we do invite guest faculty from Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai also.

 

Another hallmark of the academy is the special bond that the students and faculty share. The human face of our approach has had many students comment that Fortune is more than just an academy, it’s like family!
