Enrolling at Veranda RACE was the best decision for my SI preparation. Faculty’s expertise in Tamil Nadu-specific police recruitment is unmatched.

The physical fitness workshops were conducted by former police officers who understood exactly what the department looks for.
Veranda RACE mentors created personalised study schedules for me when I was falling behind, ensuring I covered the entire TNUSRB SI syllabus on time. Their comprehensive study materials became my go to preparation materials during the final preparation days. Thanks Veranda RACE for making me a Police Officer!
I joined Veranda RACE with almost no knowledge about the TNUSRB SI. The faculty were incredibly supportive and broke down complex subjects into easy-to-understand explanations. Their physical fitness workshops helped me prepare with proper technique, and their psychological preparation sessions taught me how to stay calm during the interview.
