Low Mock Scores to Bank Selection: Shivangi Sachan Cracks RRB Clerk in First Attempt

Success stories often look smooth from the outside, but behind them lies a journey full of struggles, doubts, and consistent effort. Shivangi Sachan’s journey is a perfect example of how determination and discipline can turn things around even when the start is not ideal.

From Teaching Background to Banking Aspirant

Shivangi comes from a completely different academic background. She pursued her studies in the teaching field, completing BTC, B.Ed, M.Ed, and even NET. Like many aspirants in Uttar Pradesh, the lack of teaching vacancies pushed her to explore other career options. That’s when she decided to shift her focus to the banking sector. Interestingly, banking was not entirely new to her father is a retired RRB PO, which gave her a sense of direction and motivation to step into this field.

The Beginning: Low Scores and No Speed

When Shivangi started her preparation in 2025, things were not easy. Her initial mock test scores were very low, and she struggled the most with speed and accuracy. Like many beginners, she found it difficult to keep up with the exam level questions. But instead of getting demotivated, she focused on improving her weak areas.

The Turning Point: Practice and Consistency

The biggest turning point in her preparation came when she started taking 3 mock tests daily for an entire month. Gradually, the same mocks that once felt difficult started becoming manageable. This consistent practice helped her:

• Improve speed significantly
  
• Gain confidence in solving questions
  
• Understand exam patterns better
  

Smart Preparation Strategy

Shivangi followed a balanced preparation strategy by combining batch classes and YouTube practice. She learned from some of the best educators:

• Reasoning: Saurav Sir
  
• Quant: Shantanu Sir
  
• English: Anubhav Sir (including 3-month editorial sessions)
  
• General Awareness (Static): Vaibhav Sir

She especially enjoyed solving reasoning puzzles, which became one of her strongest areas over time.

First Attempt, Double Mains

In 2026, Shivangi appeared for both RRB PO and RRB Clerk exams and that too in her very first attempt. She successfully cleared the mains for both exams. While she couldn’t make it in RRB PO, she achieved success in RRB Clerk, marking a big milestone in her journey.

A Message of Gratitude

Shivangi credits a big part of her success to her mentors and preparation platform. She expresses heartfelt gratitude to all her teachers for their guidance and motivation throughout the journey.
