Success Story of Risabh Jain Selected as IBPS Clerk in Bank of Baroda

Hello Everyone,

My Name is Risabh Jain. I passed my B.Com in 2014 and then I opted for M.com and completed my PG in 2016. I started my Banking preparation in 2016. I gave my 1st banking exam i.e. SBI PO pre in 2016 but I failed by a huge margin. But I never give up and Tried again that year but I was unable to even qualify for Pre of any of the exams. Next year again I tried different Exams.

In 2017:-

After all that failure finally I got success after 3 years. In 2017 I just take my preparation casually and inclined more towards tuitions and coaching and spend most of my time on social networking sites which were the main hindrance for me. In 2018 I became more serious towards my career and I started dedicating more time for my studies. But the failure of 2018 broke me completely and I decided to quit. After that my elder sister motivates me a lot and because of her I started my preparation again and this time with a new spirit. Then 2019 was a lucky year for me and finally, after too much hard work I get my 1st job.

My Section-wise Strategy:- 

Reasoning Section:- Practice is the key to success in the banking exam. I made a habit of practicing at least 2 to 3 puzzles daily 

Quant Section:-  Since I am a commerce background student so quant was the biggest hurdle for me to pass. I dedicate most of my time on quant. I suggest you focus more on DI and don’t take stress for the arithmetic portion.

English Section:– since my childhood I love reading and that helped me a lot. English is my strong portion and the reason behind this is reading. So read as much as you can it can either by the newspaper or any kind of novel.

General Awareness:– This is the key changer for any exam. There is no shortcut for this just read daily current affairs and try to revise them on a weekly and monthly basis.

All of my efforts would be useless without the mock tests. Remember to attempts at least 1 mock weekly for mains with detailed analysis of your weak points

Similar to many aspirants mains was my biggest fear but my efforts and dedication made me get success. So in the end just remember mantras for success i.e. Avoid social networking (An especially Facebook group for banking exam, it’s just time waste).

Smart work is better than hard work and most important among all NEVER GIVE UP! 

Thank You!
