First of all I will convey my gratitude to my family members, teachers, and friends who stood by me through tough times and motivated me and energized my soul with positivity.

Government job is not what you get in few weeks or few months, it takes immense hard work, regular practice and most important of all patience, you might pass through tough times and continuity of failures but what matters is how patiently you kept on practicing. I passed my B-tech in 2014 and was almost blank about government jobs though both of my parents is associated with government jobs.

I joined a private firm after completing graduation but very soon I realized that I was not getting job satisfaction which lead me to preparation for government jobs and I left my job for more time which I can allocate to preparation. I joined a coaching institute for further preparation of SSC CGL, for more than a year I got numbers of failures but I never left my hope and kept on my hard work.

Here are my some failures,

- SSC CGL 2015 - prelims not cleared

-IBPS PO 2015 - prelims cleared, mains not

-IBPS clerk 2015 – prelims cleared, mains not cleared

-SSC CGL 2016 tier 1 + tier 2 397.50, cutoff 422

-RRB PO marks -105.50, not cleared due to sectional cutoff not cleared in GS, cutoff 73.50

-IBPS clerk 2016- selected in Bank Of India

My message here is never ever get afraid of your failures, accept them with wide hands because they are the ones which will lay a foundation for your success. Make a list of mistakes which you made in previous paper and make sure you don’t repeat them in upcoming exams.

Here are my tips for preparation in banking exams,

-Improve you speed of mathematics calculations by tricks.

-Always stay in touch with reasoning (especially puzzles) and develop a technique to solve each question in least possible time.

-For English Keep your basics clear and make your reading comprehension skills better.

-For GS, capsulefrom Bankers Adda is all you need to get through in that section, just go through it and revise it several times before appearing in examination.

-Most important thing, people who know what to leave in examination have the highest chances of getting selected, so attempt the things you are best at and leave rest on time dependency.
