Mallapuram: A 42-year-old woman and her 24-year-old son from Kerala have passed the Public Service Commission (PSC) exam together.
“We went together to coaching classes. My mother brought me to this and my father arranged all facilities for us. We got a lot of motivation from our teachers. We both studied together but never thought that we will qualify together. We’re both very happy,” Vivek, the son, said.
