"Failure can postpone one's success but can never stop it": Utkarsh Sharma ( NIACL AO)- 168 |

Hello Friends,

My name is Utkarsh Sharma and I am a B-tech graduate like many of you. I was an average student throughout my career. My journey starts way back from January 2015 when I got inspired to prepare for Bank exams. During those 2 years in all phases of ups and downs, one guy who has always supported and mentored me is Bankers Adda. Friends though initially I didn’t taste success but I was sure that one day I will succeed because my intellectual friend BA was available for me 24*7.

Trust me, friends, its test series, capsules, App 247 all are very helpful for an aspiring candidate, either for a fresher or an experienced guy like me. My study material didn’t comprise of books but only materials available on BA.

Now coming on to my studying method, my plan was to utilize time whenever I used to get (since I was working in Bank as clerk), so finding ample amount of time was difficult. But the strategy was to study GA, Reasoning, Quant every day by solving quizzes on ADDA 247 app which led me to accuracy and perfection. I also used to give speed tests on holidays which is very vital for creating exam like environment because it’s good to fail and improve at home rather than failing in the main examination.One more thing which I would like to add is that I never lost hope even though I failed many times.

Let’s go through some of my failures and success Report Card:

At last, I want to thank my parents and friends who always supported me. And special thanks to the one of my friend’s who came in the lowest phase of my life and unknowingly motivated me to achieve the impossible. Hey, My Best Friend, you have been the perfect inspiration for me.
