"Just be Honest with Yourself and Never Loose Hope": Prasoon Jha (IBPS Clerk, Bank of Baroda) |

My name is Prasoon Jha and I am from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. I had cleared IBPS CLERK 2018 and got Bank of Baroda. It was my third attempt in IBPS clerk. I had started my preparations in June 2015 after my B.Tech final semester. I couldnt qualify any of the PO level exams in 2015. IBPS clerk 2015 prelims was the first exam in which I got positive results. But failed in mains by 8 or 10 marks.

In February 2016 due to the family pressure of the girl’s family, I had to marry with the love of my life. I started preparing again. I gave 28 govt exams including IBPS SSC HIGH COURT SUPREME COURT RAILWAYS etc in 2 years but cant get the final result in any of them. I Left my home and went to Patna as some of my friends suggested me to live alone for better concentration in my studies.

Ek time to aisa lag rha tha ki sab kuch chod ke koi private JOB kar lu. But my parents and my wife supported me alot. (although I started teaching classes 8, 9, 10 side by side for pocket money) On 5 October 2017, I was blessed with a baby boy. But still, I was jobless and started loosing faith in myself and started feeling depressed. But continued studying as I dont have any other option. Finally, on 1st april 2018, I got selected in clerk mains.

I also want to thank BANKERSADDA for my GA Section. Daily current affairs section helped me alot. Har din maine is section se jo v important news miley usko apni copy me likha aur usko daily ek ghantey padhta tha. It was really helpful.

English is the weakest point for most of the students. I suggest all of you to read THE HINDU newspaper for 2 hours especially EDITORIAL section and write 4 or 5 words daily in ur WORD MEANING COPY. This will help you alot in comprehension and vocabs section.

For MATHS and REASONING section I had joined a test series and take one Mains test daily and analyse it. It was really helpful (although I didnt get good marks in any of the tests) But still analyse them very sincerely and did all the puzzles again which helped me in my clerk mains.

At last but not the least I would like to tell my friends who are preparing for the banks that JUST BE HONEST WITH URSELF AND NEVER LOOSE HOPE one day u will surely get the positive RESULT.

WISH ME LUCK FRIENDS SO THAT I CAN GET PO next year.
