About Shark Exam Centre (Opc) Private Limited

Shark Exam Centre (OPC) Private Limited is a relatively new examination facility located in the Kaniyapuram area of Thiruvananthapuram. Specifically, it is situated in the Safa Building at Chanthavila, near the Sainik School (Kazhakootam) campus. For candidates, this location is advantageous as it lies in the developing IT and educational corridor of the city, close to the Technopark and Kazhakootam hubs. The center is known for hosting various computer-based tests in a professional, albeit compact, environment. Being near the National Highway (NH 66), it is very accessible for those traveling from other parts of the district or neighboring Kollam, though the Chanthavila-Kaniyapuram stretch can see significant traffic during peak office and school hours.

Real experiences from previous candidates

Google Reviews — 3.5/5 average
ANANTHU B — ★★★☆☆ (a year ago)
One of the new centers allocated in the Trivandrum district for conducting SSC exams. But the center is lacking a proper cloakroom and waiting room for parents—there is only a small room in front of the center. There is also no proper parking space.
You can easily reach here from the Kollam and Trivandrum side—the center is located along the Kazhakkoottam-Kilimanoor road.
A nearby landmark is SAINIK SCHOOL, Kazhakkoottam.
Akash — ★☆☆☆☆ (6 months ago)
Its very hot inside especially the 2nd floor. Its so hot that when you enter for a noon or evening shift you can feel that the floor, exam desk and chairs are hot. You cant peacefully give the exam if you are writing in this center. Otherwise its easy to locate and all. But without proper ventilation whats the use of any other facilities. Also most of the systems are not upto the mark. I got eye strain during the exam.
AKR — ★☆☆☆☆ (9 months ago)
1. No parking space
2. Very congested seating arrangement
3. No proper ventilation
4. Hot, humid and noisy atmosphere
5. Chair to table height is very awkward. So writing and typing is a major problem
Vinayak K — ★★★☆☆ (11 months ago)
The entire area is in a very secluded place. Easy to miss out. The chairs are not suitable for exam environment. Mouses are from 90's. Not very ergonomic. And the screen are also of not that good quality.

P.s. staff was very friendly
