Hello All,

My success story is all about extreme kind of hard work, failures and then finally abt some success. Started in 2016 with full energy. Cleared every prelims. 

But in mains story was like-

IBPS PO – Out in final merit list

IBPS Clerk – overall cutoff cleared but failed in computer

RRB PO- Out in mains

IPPB PO- Out in mains

RRB CLERK- in reserve list

1st April 2017 was like the nightmare for me, crying like anything. After a year of hard work, I had nothing in hand except the experience of a lot of mains examinations. The financial condition was not that much good so it really put an extra bucket of pressure on me. At that time you find no one really cares about you. Then finally i decided to go for a private job. Started doing that.

But there was a voice in the heart that i cannot give that much easier so i go fr another attempt in banking. Started preparing with job. It was really a extreme kind of hard work. Wake up early in the morning, study and then a full day of work at the office. And then at 11 pm at night i ws like a dead in bed but next morning still i was on that schedule. 

Then there comes the examination time. 

This time i have a lot of experience with me but the challenge was tougher one.  5 days at the office then Saturday Sunday exam. Traveling all the way to himachal and then again on Monday in office. 

Overtime, stretches,  i afforded to miss one time meal but never missed any exam or an office day. Giving evry bit of myself evrywhere. 

And the story started with same

Every single prelims done. But this time i didn’t take mains examination easily,  used all of my experience of last year. Then the first result came RRB reserve list- Selected 

Was happy for that I atleast got something but not quite satisfied considering the number of efforts I ws putting. 

Then the result of this year exams

SBI PO- missed mains by 1.5 marks even after getting 0 in maths. 

IBPS RRB PO- Out in merit by one mark. 

IBPS RRB clerk – failed by 10 marks

And then joined IBPS RRB  Clerk but ws waiting eagerly for 1st April. 

Quite optimistic about the IBPS PO this year. 

Then here comes the judgement day

IBPS PO- again out in merit

IBPS CLERK – got 112.42 in mains and got my first preference Bank of Baroda (BOB). Then finally there is an end to all of my struggles, efforts. 

And credit to one special person who was always with me that time, don’t want to disclose name but a special thanks to her.  And appreciates the role of Bankersadda in the success of evry aspirant. So a special thanks to BA specifically Kush Sir. Huge fan of you sir. I ws not from banking background not any one of my friend or any acquainted one was in banking but it is just because of Kush Sir I was interested in banking. The way you present, Never missed any #BBM show. So Kush Sir a special thanks to you and Sir.

And finally, a success mantra to all aspirants always work that much hard for prelims even on a bad day that u would end up js above cuttoff after that you are just a mains away from a job and you can plan that according to your strengths.
