Hear From Our Achievers​

At XandY Learning, results speak louder than words. With Kerala’s First Rank in NMMS, our students continue to prove that the right guidance makes all the difference. Here’s what our achievers and parents have to say about their journey with us

XandY is excellent! Whenever I needed help, they responded quickly. During my NMMS preparation, I needed daily current affairs, and XandY made sure to send them to me on time every single day. It was a huge support — instead of reading long newspapers, I received clear bullet points and summaries directly from them. This made my preparation much easier and more effective.

XandY Learning played the biggest role in my NMMS success. The mock tests were exactly like the real exam, and the detailed explanations helped me understand my mistakes quickly. The mentors were always supportive and guided me throughout my preparation. Securing Rank 2 in NMMS last year felt like a dream come true, and I owe a major part of this achievement to XandY Learning.
