Indrans, who had studied only till the fourth standard, appeared for the examination at Attakkulangara Government HSS. Prior to that, Indrans had attended the equivalence classes held at the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College High School. However, owing to busy film shooting schedules, he mostly opted for home-learning, taking lessons from his family members. He also found time to study in between shooting schedules.
