My name is Devika M, and I am currently working as a PG Assistant in English at Government Girls Higher Secondary School Alangudi. My journey to this position was not straightforward. With an 8-year gap in my studies and a Tamil-medium educational background, I faced multiple challenges.
However, with determination, consistent effort, and the right guidance, I was able to achieve success in the Tamil Nadu PG TRB Exam. Today, I want to share my journey to inspire aspirants who may feel held back by similar circumstances.
After completing my studies, I had an 8-year break, which made it extremely difficult to restart my academic journey. By the time I began preparing again, I had forgotten many core concepts in English. I entered my preparation with what felt like a completely blank mind. I constantly questioned myself:
These doubts made the beginning of my preparation very challenging.
Everything changed when I joined Professor Academy. The way the faculty taught was completely different. Instead of surface-level teaching, they explained every concept deeply and clearly, which helped me rebuild my foundation from scratch. Slowly, my fear started to fade, and confidence began to grow.
To overcome my challenges, I followed a structured and disciplined preparation approach.
I attended live classes regularly. On days when I couldn’t attend due to household responsibilities, I made sure to watch the recorded sessions on the same day.
During classes, I prepared my own handwritten notes, which became my most valuable resource during revision.
Whenever I found time, I revisited my notes and practiced recalling concepts repeatedly, which improved my retention significantly.
During the exam period, I dedicated 7 to 8 hours daily for focused study. This consistent effort helped me strengthen my subject knowledge step by step.
One of my biggest insecurities was my Tamil-medium background. I used to feel that it might affect my ability to succeed in an English subject examination. However, with the guidance and structured syllabus coverage provided by the academy, I realized that language background is not a barrier when you have the right support and dedication. The encouragement and continuous motivation from the faculty and coordinators gave me the confidence to move forward without hesitation.
Today, when I reflect on my journey, I realize one important truth: It was not just my belief in myself that brought me here—it was also the belief my mentors had in me. Their encouragement, guidance, and trust helped me push beyond my limits and achieve my goal.

From an 8-year academic gap and self-doubt to becoming a government school teacher, my journey has been a transformation of persistence and belief. Today, I stand proud as a PG Assistant in English, proving that no gap, no background, and no fear can stop you if you are determined to succeed.
