Learn the Value of Hard Work by Working Hard

Dear Readers,

An average student with not so good academic records, a B.Tech graduate with no tag of IIT or NIT, and yes an engineer placed in an IT-MNC (by grace of mass recruiter), is now having 3 options to choose for his career route.

I LEARNED THE VALUE OF HARD WORK BY WORKING HARD!!

                     

It all started in the month of July of the year 2015 (my graduation year). Completed degree and with 3 offers of employment in my hand I came back home with pride. Soon I got the joining within 15 days and bid farewell to family and joined in Gandhinagar. The very starting days or the training period made me feel like i m in the abode of heaven. Yeah enjoyed the training sessions but the real story started soon after when i was deployed on the project. Not mentioning much of that, managed through the time till December and yes then resigned in December 2015.

In the meanwhile, as I have always aspired to work in any govt sector or PSU, I used to give exams while working. I am giving an insight of my performance with almost ZERO preparations.

P.S- I gave only two exams in 2015

IBPS PO- Qualified Prelims

Mains Score- 81, Sectional cutoff of G.A – 7.25, mine-7

SSC CGL- Prelims-100

              

Mains-

Maths-105 (due to overconfidence)

English-152

missed the final call by 17 marks

Now, what I realised, was the potential in me, the caliber that I have. If without reading any single book and just appearing in the tests can take me to this mark then why not if I put my entire strength into it. These two exams and family’s desire for govt job,  directed me to resign the private job and prepare for the government Jobs.

I came back home, started searching guidance for how to do and what to do. Everywhere I heard- DO SMART WORK!!! I thought what these people talk about, what is Smart Work! Somewhere I came to know about a website BANKERSADDA. For the very few days, I was just like a watchdog of the website. What it actually did, why people admired so much!! Now somewhat I started realising the ART OF SMART WORK. 

FOR WHAT I AM, FOR WHAT I WILL BE… BANKERSADDA  HAS PLAYED A VERY KEY ROLE IN MY ENDEAVOUR…

For my GK section being very weak, that last year I was hardly able to drag myself to the boundary line, now I have scored almost 80% in GK section. And yes I am a silent viewer, no chit chatting, but yes I do read the comments as it was kind of stress buster thing.

Its month of October, year 2016, after a period of preparations that started in January and ended in august, I have cracked three exams and one more result is awaited.

1. UBI-PO-PGDBF 2016 (165 attempts)

2. UIIC-A.O 2016(163 attempts)

3. SBI-PO (91 attempts)

Failed in two exams this year-

1. SIDBI(Jan,2016)- my score 116.5, cutoff 119

2. LIC-AAO- my score 245.5, cutoff-250

Journey doesn’t ends here. Still I have to compete more, get into my dream job UPSC.. but yes for that at least i have got a security.

At last I would like to convey my gratitude to those who helped me in anyway in my success through leaps and bounds. To My parents– The glare in their eyes and the happiness on their face is inexpressable. A heartfull of thanks to my mentor and guide MR.YOGESH SIR, MRS. NUTAN BAKSHI, for guiding my sail through all the troubles. A heart full thanks to NEELAM MADAM(SBI-PO, 2016).To my sister JIGYASU for always believing in me. And at last one of the great friend that I have , ANUSHKA, who helped me, motivated me, kept my morals high, prayed for me…..!!! 

THANK YOU ALL. WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST FOR YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVOUR.

Regards,
