As a trusted brand in the test preparation space, we pride ourselves on collaborating with the best authors and delivering quality content and assessments to support students in their preparation for these high-stakes competitive exams. Partnering with Veranda Race allows us to further strengthen and diversify our offerings, ensuring even more robust support for our students.”

The series comes with numerous features designed to aid self-preparation, including online access to daily current affairs, sectional tests, full-length mock tests, solved previous year question papers, and access to an e-library with online mock tests and quizzes. These resources are intended to provide a comprehensive preparation experience, helping students to achieve their academic goals with confidence.

Santhosh Kumar, Head of Veranda Race, highlighted the importance of this partnership. “The partnership with Pearson is yet another example of our commitment to providing high-quality educational resources that are tailored to meet the evolving needs of students.
