It was a breezy Saturday morning, the AKG Centre in Palayam, Thiruvananthapuram, came alive with smiles, stories and success. The 13th edition of Veranda RACE’s Grand Student Success Meet, held on 10 May 2025, was not just an event — it was a testament to perseverance, grit and the power of focused learning from some of the best minds who studied at Veranda RACE.
With an audience brimming with achievers, their proud families and the visionary minds behind Veranda RACE and Veranda Learning, the Veranda RACE Success Meet at Thiruvananthapuram became a celebration of transformed lives and dreams turned into reality.
A Celebration of Triumphs
Every year, the Veranda RACE Grand Student Success Meet stands as a symbol of what Veranda RACE represents — a transforming movement of ordinary bank and government exam aspirants achieving extraordinary outcomes in major bank, central, state govt. an railway exams. This year’s edition, the 13th edition, was particularly very special.
Veranda Race Trivandrum Branch
More than 3,000+ Veranda RACE students — now successful officers and bureaucrats in public sector banks, general insurance companies, state and central departments and organisations — gathered under one roof at the AKG Centre in Thiruvananthapuram to celebrate their hard-earned victories.
It wasn’t just about certificates or medals. It was about their journeys. From remote villages and small towns across Kerala to the examination halls of India’s esteemed bank/government jobs, each student in attendance had a success story to tell — of late nights, early mornings and a relentless pursuit of a better tomorrow to achieve their dream bank/govt. job.
A Momentous Gathering
The AKG Centre in Thiruvananthapuram was brimming with energy and anticipation as the 13th Grand Student Success Meet of Veranda RACE kicked off. The auditorium echoed with applause as one after another, our meritorious Veranda RACE students walked up on stage with their parents, each joyous ramp walk becoming a quiet procession of pride.
Some parents teared up, sharing how they had never stepped onto a stage before, but today, their child’s success had brought them into the spotlight thanking Veranda RACE, their faculty and employees for this honour and their child’s job.
Many students took the microphone to share their stories of struggle — how they battled self-doubt, financial constraints and repeated failures. Some recounted working part-time jobs while preparing. Others spoke about the isolation they felt before finding a sense of belonging at Veranda RACE and cheered up by the Veranda RACE Faculty and mentors during times of distraught.
But one thing was common: all of them credited Veranda RACE’s best-in-class learning ecosystem for bank & government competitive exams for turning their indelible effort into humongous achievement.
Words That Inspired: A Message from Leadership
In his keynote address at the 13th Grand Student Success Meet, Mr. Bharat Seeman, the visionary Founder of Veranda RACE, delivered an emotional and inspiring message to the students of Veranda RACE. “This is not the end of your journey,” he said, his voice carrying a mix of pride and responsibility. “This is the beginning of your transformation — from aspirants to bank officers, civil servants, employees at public sector companies, from Veranda RACE learners to future leaders in transforming and leading India. You didn’t just clear an exam. You have lifted your family and have become a light for others aspirants to follow.”
He reminded everyone that while the world often celebrates the top 1 per cent, it is institutions like Veranda RACE that create them — with discipline, mentorship and consistency.
He encouraged the students to remain grounded, remember their roots and reach back to uplift other aspirants with their staunch support. “The future is in your hands. But never forget those who stood with you during your darkest hours.”

My parents suggested me to join Veranda RACE and prepare for Bank Exams. Within 8 months, I've achieved a Bank job in Central Bank of India.

My mentors cleared all my doubts and my faculty motivated me and taught focus strategies to clear the IBPS Clerk Exam.

With full focus on Bank exams, I used to prepare daily in the computer lab and library with constant support from my Bank mentors. They cleared all my doubts without any hesitation.
