Name: Ajit Olkha
Designation: Administrative Officer (AO) in NIACL (Batch 2019)
Hello everyone I am Ajit Olkha currently working as an Administrative Officer (AO) in New India Assurance Company Limited (NIACL).
Here I am sharing my strategy which helped me in clearing – NIACL AO 2019, IBPS PO 2018 (UNION BANK), SBI CLERK 2018.
(MAINS)
Bank exams – Nowadays mains paper of IBPS PO and SBI PO/Clerk is coming very tough. You need not attempt everything, you need to be selective while attempting questions. All you need is to attempt a good number of questions (above an average attempt) with full accuracy.
Reasoning – You should have a good command over miscellaneous topics because in mains you will be able to solve these questions easily.
Now when it comes to puzzle you should practice 3-4 variables puzzle and new types of puzzles on a daily basis. ADDA247 has quite a good collection of these puzzles and another source is mocks. I would suggest you to go with two sources always .
Quantitative aptitude – This is my strongest section and believe me your strongest section will save you in hard times. First of all you should have a clear understanding of concepts. Just give sectional mocks of quant and practice more. Quant is all about practice. The more you practice the more you will learn.
English – I suggest you to read any good English newspaper. It will help you a lot because these days in English section the paper setter are focusing more on comprehension section and candidates reading abilities. So by reading the newspaper on a daily basis you will improve a lot.
General Awareness/Banking Awareness – In this section you can score more marks comparative to reasoning and aptitude section. Revise the topics regularly and study current affairs
Insurance Exams – For Insurance Main exam your strategy should be different. The level of Quant and Reasoning is of very moderate level in the mains, that means you need to have good speed here. You can even attempt 95% in Quant and Reasoning here.
So in order to cross hurdles you can do the following:
1.Reasoning : Try to solve Adda 247 App quiz daily and solve short and tricky puzzles from Youtube and Mocks.Try to solve the same puzzle with 2-3 different approach and then decide which one will be more beneficial.
2.Quant: First prepare each and every chapter of arithmetic and solve quiz on that particular chapter after finishing the basics. Secondly try to give sectional on a daily basis and whenever you find a new type of question note it down in a seperate copy and learn the concept.
3.English : Mocks will be enough for this.
Some of the things I have learned in last 1.5 years:
1) You have to work on your weak section.
2) Prepare for Prelims and Mains together, you will not be able to perform efficiently if you will prepare for mains after the declaration of Prelims results.
3) Never get disheartened by low attempts in tough shift and never become excited after attempting more in an easier shift. If the shift is easier increase your speed and try to attempt maximum because normalisation can do anything.
4) Try to make notes of current affairs and keep revising them every week
Believe in yourself, you can conquer anything
