Speaking to The Hindu on Friday, director of the academy U. Subhash said the methodical training imparted to the students was the key to the high success rate of the academy.

“The students who clear the preliminary examination are adopted by the academy and are given extensive training.

They undergo personality development and take mock interviews so that they score well in the actual interview sessions,” he said.

Achievable dream
