Introduction of Sreenath:
Sreenath K from Kerala proves that coaching is not a necessity to crack Groups & Civils exams. Working as a railway coolie, he leveraged free Wi-Fi, NCERTs, and consistent self-study to clear the Kerala PSC exam. Hyderabad aspirants can follow a similar path by building a strong foundation, disciplined routine, and smart digital learning strategy.
