I am a die hard follower of adda247. My day starts as well as ends with adda247 and Bankersadda website. It does not matter that which exam you are preparing for, this website is the must for all aspirants. I started preparation in April 2014(after Holi). I shifted to Patna from Indore. I was made a target of one year to become a PO (never thought about clerk always set the target for PO) but it takes three long years to become a PO. The reason for that I was new to competition and also I had no guidance about the same.
After 7 months of preparation (only test series and self-study), I appeared for my first exam PO IV. I was sure that I could make it but I could not make it. And the frustration and depression started. Then I realized it was my first exam what happened to those who had to prepare for many years and still did not make it after all this was my first chance.
Then I started making a list of my weaknesses. I found that it is necessary to clear all basic concept of all the subject then appeared for test series(otherwise the confusion became a headache).It takes six to seven months to clear all my doubts (joined some local private tutors in Patna) and build the basic concept of all the subjects.Then the IBPS PO V exam came I gave my 100% and cleared pt and mains(secured 84.25 marks) and appeared for the interview. Many aspirants came to me and asked about my strategy of preparation.I always tell them the way I was making my preparation.
Then the day (1 April) arrived and I was very much confident that I could make it but IBPS fooled me on April fool day(IBPS did something new every year).I did not make it in even clerk.Then I was thinking about leaving the competition exam and thinking about earning money.Because It hurts so bad. I broke from inside.And again the frustration and depression started. Then the time had started when I am loosing my confidence.Then my parents, family members, and friends show a great confidence in me. They always support me even in my odd days. They are sure that I can make it. “keep trying, I know you can do it” they always say that.All always support me.
After gathered all my efforts, I stand the third time(i made a promise, this was my last chance).I started from the scratch.I prepared everything.Then the IBPS PO 2016 pt exam came.I cleared it with 0.25(sigh of relief).Then PO mains exam(fully new pattern and toughest PO exam ever fully CAT based) came . all aspirants were unaware about that(i told you before IBPS did something new every year).In the mains exam, I was frustrated after seeing quanta, reasoning and especially English paper.Then I realized, it is tough for everyone.(After all, this is my last attempt as I promise to myself)Then I started attempting questions on which I was 80 to 90% sure I could make it after reading questions.(In the exam hall, you must prepare for the worst if you are going for IBPS exams)
I have attempted 105 questions in mains and got only 67 number but I was happy because cutoff was only 52.25 and my marks were well ahead of that. And again the day (1 April) arrived and this time IBPS did not fool me but rewarded me with Allahabad Bank PO. and then I really hard work with smartness always pays , you must keep patience and must continue hard work.
As far as the frustration and depression are concerned, it is human nature.You can not resist it.But you can do one thing when you feel you are in frustration or depression, you must do the things which you like the most for making you busy all the time.If you make yourself busy then negative thoughts never come in your mind.
For all aspirants
You become whatever you want but there is only one condition for that be always positive,have faith in yourself you can do it, learn basic of all the subject be it easy or hard, use the time(do not waste it), always be cool, calm and compose in the exam hall, and do what you like .
I am very thankful adda247 for my success. My family and my parents always motivate and support me. I am what I am because of them. BANKERSADDA Material especially Daily Gk Updates, Various Quizzes, Memory Based Question of Recent Examinations, Capsules are must if anyone want to share his preparation.
Some more friends are there with whom I daily spent time for building my group for clearing all doubts of quanta and reasoning, discussing current affairs and computer questions and reading English literature. I am always thankful to Prince Kumar(pk)(admin of Banking and Govt Jobs Whatsapp and our Group), Abhishekji (AK Sonu), Darshan Raj, Navneet(Sonu).
and also thankful to rakesh and Mitranjan(Gopalganj), Arvindji, Sunny, Rajesh, sunny and hemant, Anubhav(virat), Amanji, Niraj, sonu, surendra nath mahto , panna lal mahto(ravi) , tushar kanti(tarun) , ankit ,anuj , prem , shankar , album , varsha , radha , jhunnuji , sambhuji , nikhilji , Desh Bandhu , all my teachers
