State- Assam

I always wanted to do a Doctorate in Biology and pursue Research and Development as a career which is why I never tried for jobs after graduation.But while doing my Masters I realized that doing a Ph.D. was not going to be my cup of tea for several reasons. So priorities changed and thus started the hunt for a govt job.

It all started with LIC AAO in March 2016 but as I was new to this field so I didn’t even know when the results came out. Then I realized it would need a thorough preparation and time devotion to clear these exams. I enrolled into a coaching institute in July 2016 after completing my degree. I missed IBPS PO Prelims by 1.75 marks that year but managed to clear IBPS CLERK Prelims with a good score but soon faced reality when IBPS CLERK Mains turned out to be a nightmare as the paper was difficult for a newbie.This called for preparation in a new direction and improving myself a lot more.

2017 was a Series of success and failures:

RBI ASSISTANT 2016- Out in Prelims

NIACL ASSISTANT- 78/100 cut off 68 – Out in mains

SBI PO- 59.25/100 cut off 52- Out in mains

BOB PGDBF- Appeared for the interview (Missed the final selection by 3 marks)

UIIC PRELIMS- 79.25/100 cut off 78.5- out in mains

IBPS PO 2017- 47.75/100 cut off 42.75- failed mains by 4 marks

RBI ASSISTANT – 84.75/100 cut off 72.5- out in mains (this broke me completely)

IBPS CLERK- 81.75/100 cut off 70.75- SELECTED IN MAINS.

PREPARATION: I dependent on Bankersadda completely for my preparation.Youtube videos of adda247 especially Sumit Verma Sir’s Quant videos and Kush Pandey Sir’s The Hindu Show helped me immensely in building my self confidence, solving daily BA quizzes of all sections and lastly taking up as many Mocks as possible. Full Length Speed Tests play a key role in these kind of competitive exams. I followed Career Power’s test series to ace speed and accuracy.

Hard work, sheer determination, relentless patience, courage and luck is what it takes to succeed. For me, it was the toughest period of my life with loads of ups and downs. But Thanks to The Almighty, My Mother who constantly supported me in every way possible I have achieved what I aimed for. I am also grateful to My Sister-in-law who always encouraged me, My friends, Rupesh bhaiya, and that Special person in my life who believed in me and always lifted me up every time I faltered and fell down. Although this is just a humble beginning and there are many more battles to be won like RBI grade-B and there’s no saying goodbye to Bankers adda par ab maza ayega.

A HUGE THANKS TO THE WHOLE TEAM OF BANKERS ADDA AND CAREER POWER WITHOUT WHOM IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL.

If you are doing your part sincerely you will be rewarded at the end. Keep Following BANKERS ADDA.

BEST REGARDS,

Sharbari
