Dr Lakshamaiah Ias Study Circle

Finding us in Dwaraka Nagar can be a little tricky if you don’t know the spot. We are in Visakhapatnam, right behind the Anr Complex. If you see Hotel Sarovar, you are basically right across from us. This place is pretty much dedicated to people trying to get into the civil services. It’s a tough path, so the atmosphere here is usually quite serious. We have stacks of newspapers and magazines everywhere because keeping up with the news is part of the job. The rooms are filled with people who spend eight or ten hours a day just reading and taking notes. We don't have much time for fancy decorations or marketing. Most of our day is spent looking at syllabus updates or checking old exam papers. It’s quiet for the most part, except for the occasional discussion in the hallway. We’re just here to provide the space and the materials for the study circle. The desks are a bit worn out from all the use they get. Behind the complex, it’s a bit shielded from the main road noise, which helps. We deal with students from all over the city who take the bus here every morning. It's a lot of hard work for everyone involved. We just keep the doors open and the lights on for as long as needed. It’s a simple operation, run by people who understand the grind of these exams. We drink coffee and stay focused on the books.
