If I CAN, then even YOU CAN DO IT all it takes is Working Hard for It

 Dear Readers,

A graduate engineer in E&C who was imprudent in technical skills so anticipated the ultimate path to get a job is to groundwork for non tech, sounds to be credulous but when started it made me realize the competitive world is messy and ever changing.

I started without any guidance it was July 2014 and the outcome was quite obvious, beginning was with SBI PO shattered me completely, got 48/200, gathered courage and appeared next one it was SBI clerk, the result was same a collapse, this time 112/200 gave me a little mettle, Next one was SIDBI got 94/200 once again a disappointment but by giving these and analyzing the pattern I quickly realized something is lagging and that was a guidance. 

“The ray of hope came in the form of BA just before PO-VI and CWE-VI Clerk as I came to know about them, I mugged up all their capsules and appeared result started to came and from there I didn’t look back I always tried to be better than what I was yesterday, I was in competition with myself only a single thought that let me going.”

 Sharing the gloomy side but yet encouraging one:-

1. SBI PO 48/200 an epic failure not even qualified cut off in 2 sections.

2. SBI clerk 112/200 failure

3. SIDBI 94/200 failure cut off 114

4. RBI Assistant 146/200 failed cut off 160 around

5. RRB PO 109 but didn’t got a call

6. RRB clerk 160 but no call

7. NICL AO missed by 1 mark

8. NIACL AO missed by 4 marks

9. UIIC AO by 2 marks

10. Oriental AO by 1.75 marks

11. SBI Associate PO missed by 4 marks for interview

But after every dark night there is a bright morning, qualified many…but success was still far to reach…

1. Bob cards failed in interview

2. NIACL Asst. got 157 written but missed after interview

3. NICL Asst. rejected in interview

4. Syndicate Bank Manipal rejected in interview later selected through contingency list.

5. NICL Asst. rejected in interview

6. SBI PO interview rejection.

7. IBPS PO reserve list wasted my one year who thought but it happened L

8. NABARD Mains was not even close to the cut off

But someone has rightly said…

➙ First was LVB Laxmi Vilas bank (Chennai)

➙  Syndicate bank Manipal reserve list they declared 5-6 lists

➙ BOB Manipal written score 121/200 got 16 batch but was puzzled
➙  The biggest relief IBPS Clerk got 160 written and overall 76.6 got PNB

➙  Just 3 days before my PNB joining, SBI Clerk result came out and I scored 163/200 and 194/235 the biggest booster for me to get the tempo going, I decided not to join PNB and wait till October-November. Meanwhile it gave me 3-4 months’ intense preparation and I converted that time to be the milestone for my carrier, I covered all my loop holes and also took coaching of Indian economics in Delhi for RBI and NABARD and now it was my time to convert my work process into reality.

❶ SBI PO 2015 appeared in interview, the very exam I didn’t even qualified cut off although missed but performed very well no regrets as the best was selected.

❷ IBPS PO-V scored 112.50, in po4 it was 90 only last year  a sharp rise.

❸ Nabard Asst. scored 168.25 qualified

❹ SIDBI written

❺ LIC AAO appeared attempts 151/160 I didn’t appear any more exam thereafter, was pretty  sure.

❻ IRDAI phase 1st 112 score and phase 2nd 3april 2015 scored 167.5 cut off 180

Finally got officer job on 31 March and 1April both.

PO4 reserve list allotted :-BANK OF BARODA

PO5 allotted :-IDBI  got 57.40 overall

And my destiny: LIC AAO ON 07 SEP 2016 got 275.75 in written and 45 in interview
