Before I start off with the not so brief description of my journey to the crux of success, let me introduce myself. 

My name is Shubham Dixit. I hail from Jaipur (Rajasthan). I completed my B.Tech (needless to say) in the year 2015. Before indulging myself fully into the competitive world, if I may say so, I was an incompetent person who had always belittled his ability.

After completing B.Tech in ECE in 2015, I was sort of sure that I know almost nothing about my field of engineering (except for Computer Organisation & Architecture, thanks to the supplementary, I know a thing or two about this one subject)! I was inept and quite far off from the real Engineering. I was even a bit sceptic about my future. 

As to speak for the skills that I possessed, absolutely nothing except for a good Aptitude, all thanks to my never-ending interest in Mathematics.

Once I finally reached back home from College, I started shuttling from one coaching institute to another without any idea of what I actually needed – whether SSC or Bank or Insurance etc. With some friendly help, settled with Bank & Insurance sector exams. 

Some hardships that crippled me to a great extent were:

Failures in examinations: This is a part and parcel of any competitive examination. Each one has to face this at least once in one’s struggling before relishing the taste of success. Success comes to those who try it. End of story.

Hidden Family Pressure: Father would always tell you, son don’t worry about your failure we are here with you. Mother would pray for you selflessly.  But you can discern and feel all the hidden sorrows without them being saying it. This is what is near impossible to endure it no matter how strong you are.  

Tormenting Time: Nobody knows when he/she is going to get his/her aspired job. But time plays a pivotal role in deciding the overall result of one’s effort. Time brings anxiety and anticipation. The anxiety of an impending failure and anticipation of an impending success. Time can make or mar the future of anyone.

The fact that success came to me after two years, was a well-served reminder of the famous quote: We get nothing before it’s time & more than destiny has it for us.

So here is a brief history of my competitive journey as of now:

1. SBI PO 2015: FAIL

2. LIC AAO 2015: FAIL

3. BOB PO 2015: FAIL

4. RRB PO 2015: FAIL

5. IBPS PO 2015: Got 96 in mains (cut off: 76), but due to less score in an interview, couldn’t make it through.

6. UIIC AO 2015: FAIL

7. SBI PO 2016: Couldn’t clear sectional cut off of GA in Mains.

8. BOB PO 2016: FAIL

9. BOM PO 2016: Couldn’t make it through in the final list due to fewer mains marks.

10. Nainital Bank: Waiting List

11. RRB PO 2016: Couldn’t make it through in the final list due to fewer mains marks.

12. IDBI executive: CLEARED, joined, worked for 1.5 months in Vapi, Gujarat.

13. IBPS PO 2016: CLEARED, Final Score: 46.8, Canara Bank.

14. NIACL AO 2016: CLEARED, posting in Mumbai. So finally I got selected in this PSU of repute, and would be joining it shortly! 🙂

Have forgotten a few, as it’s a long, long list.

The moment I saw my name in the final list, both in IBPS PO & NIACL AO, I couldn’t believe my eyes. All of my efforts had finally paid off. Now I can proudly say that I have transfigured myself from nothing to something.

I would take this opportunity to present a vote of thanks to almighty and to all those who stood by me through thick and thin. Last but not the least, special thanks to Bankers Adda (A Unit of Career Power) for providing me with the best institute in business in Jaipur.

A small piece of advice to my fellow aspirants:

If you are going through a tough phase and have started to suspect your abilities, then wait a while and think- Do you have anything to gain after resigns? Who would be happy after your give up – the frustration or you?

It is better that you discover your weaknesses first & remove them once & for all. Then you have your good wishers, seniors, families, etc.  –  consult with them. Lastly, would like to quote a dialogue from Batman: “It’s not who I am underneath, it’s what I do that defines me.” 🙂

Ability to rise amidst adversities is a trademark of a champion!

Rise. And get what you want, whatever be the cost. 🙂

Thanks!
