1st of all I must say writing my own success story was my dream & I always believed that 1 day this dream will definitely come true!!!

My qualification is Btech CSE & I graduated in 2014 & like many of my PTU fellows I was jobless too, I didn’t want to be termed as “VELLA” so decided to do Mtech.

While I was in sem 3( totally pissed off from my college life) someone suggested me to go for coaching 4 bank exams!!!

So 1st July 2015 I kick started my preparations & from 1st day onwards I knew this is it!! I want to pursue my career in banking & I will at any cost!! So took a bold(at that time some said foolish) decision to quit Mtech & focus on bank exams only.

Cleared RRB assistant but crashed out of final list bcoz of the bad interview(my 1st one & I must admit I was very very nervous). Up next cleared IBPS PO(pre+mains) IBPS clerk(pre) & had high hopes of clearing LIC AAO also that year. Then came the day that changed my life upside down- 1st April 2016 (IBPS PO, CLERK & LIC AAO results)

That day was the worst day of my life!! All my hopes were thrashed away!!! I started doubting myself whether I made the right call in quitting Mtech. Certainly yr Us Din too life ne April fool Bana Diya Mujhe… I missed final cutoffs only by few marks in all 3 exams & that made me feel even more horrible!! I must admit I cried a lot alone in my room!! But 1 thing I didn’t do is to stop believing in myself!!! That day I quit FB, Whatsapp etc & analyzed deeply What went wrong??

Not surprisingly it was English & GA. (One quick tip to every aspirant this 2 subjects+computer  are Kingmakers in mains exam.) Then started working on these subjects & Adda247 helped a lot!! These quizzes helped me in building speed & self-confidence also!! Bought different series from Adda247 & Practiced… Those 8538 points on the Adda247 app were the secret behind my success.

But the luck played me down again in SBI Po(lost by. 25) & SBI clerk(lost by 1.5 in mains) but still I didn’t stop believing in myself!! & Whenever I felt like demotivated, I used to remind myself of that April-fool day(1st Apr 2016) & mere thoughts of that horrible day were enough to ignite those Motivational thoughts in my mind!

On 1st April 2017

Exactly 1 yr ago I lost all the battles & today I conquered all of them!! All of them!! Even ‘The Daddy of all Banks(RBI) ‘

Thank you, Rabb gg for all this!! Thank you 4 transforming ‘What I was’ into ‘What I m’ now!!!

In the end for all those who failed to secure a job just read this quote

“The secret of success the is the consistency of purpose.”

Do not lose hope, don’t forget this defeat, until u make the cut in ur next exam until u get ur dream job!!!

Thanx for reading, it was long but it was straight from the heart… I hope my story will motivate all of u!!!! 

Best of luck for the upcoming exams.
