Success Story: Gaurav Sharma (SBI Clerk)

My name is Gaurav Sharma. I am from a village in Baghpat District of UP. I have done B.Tech (2014) from BBDIT Ghaziabad in Electronics and Communication Branch. I am a silent follower of Bankers adda.
First of all, I would like to thanks BANKERS ADDA, which helped me a lot in improving my GA section—toughest section for me.

Soon after doing B.Tech I joined a BPO TBSS in noida and worked here for almost 10 months as I don’t want to be dependent of my parents who spend their whole life savings in my studies. After 10 months, I realized that the salary I am getting there is not sufficient for survival in city Noida like. So, I have joined CSC BPO which offered me a handsome salary. I want to join networking sector from there but somehow I was able to diverted my mind towards banking sector. So, I joined a coaching to know about the pattern and guidance regarding banking exams in September 2015. From there my journey started, as I was doing night shifts in CSC so it was not easy to me. I managed my time and started my preparation. I have good maths and reasoning, average English (Somehow manage to clear cut off every time) and Poor GA.
