Success Stories in Various Forms.
exam and next year I qualified (SO IT OFFICER) in 2014. I went to Bhopal
for interview but in final result I missed it for .4 no from being in reserve list.
That time I was sure enough to make it happen by next year anyhow and
began my preparation really-really well. In 2014 I searched some websites for the
preparation of bank exam and one day I found+BankExamsToday and began to
follow every post whether it is from websites or from Facebook. Special thanks
to Mr. Ramandeep sir who had always replied my queries regarding
exams and interview. A lot of websites are there but either they do not reply
your queries or will reply to the chosen one. Thats why I am really grateful to
Raman sir. In 2014 I wrote Grameen bank, IBPS PO, SBI ASSOCIATE PO and
IBPS SO-IV (IT Officer) and you know what, I have qualified Grameen bank,
IBPS PO-IV and IBPS SO-IV (IT Officer). My PO-IV interview went really well in
Raipur. Then prepared for SO-IV interview and went to Bhopal (MP).
One more thing I would like to add in this post is God never does anything wrong
that can hurt anyone in this world. He has a perfect plan for every one of
us. Of course we get afraid of anything that goes wrong in our life but just
remember that is the turning point or from that time your life is gonna be
awesome, believe me or not but overall to realize this life god did it to me. I thank
God, my family members, relatives, friends and everyone that
remembered me in their prayer for my new life.
Finally a new start and a new way to look at my life. A lot of things are here to
explain but you might get bored of all this. At last I would like to say that "I would
have never known how strong I was until being strong was the only choice I had"
Hi friends! Its Great to share my success story with you. I was good at schooling
and scored 73% in 10th and 83% in 12th ( science) . I decided to study
engineering and also got score in CET. I got admission in Govt. engineering
college with IT as my branch. Career took a u-turn from there onwards. I lost my
valuable 3 years in it. But It was SHE who was with me, motivated me and always
there besides me.
All the rest (even parents ) were not accepting me. Because of her I decided to
take admission to B.Com(rather than wasting years in engg.) I successfully
completed my B Com from an Open University(as we were needed to manage our
financial needs by working) . after it I completed my MBA (finance) .I was really
happy for WE had completed my education on our own . No support from
parents even. I searched for good jobs but could not get as expected as per
requirement. till this time I had a Sweet lovely daughter. SHE encouraged me to
try for banking exams and appeared for only PO (SBI and IBPS) .I was having a
negative thought that clerical is not for me as i have completed MBA(ego) .I
cleared both the exams but could not make it to the final cutoff.I was very
disappointed and depressed.
SHE helped me out. She told me to appear again one more time and this time
clerk exams too.Her motivation helped me a lot. With a new Josh I prepared for
all exams.
My Attempts: SBI PO 2014 - Qualified phase 1 Could not clear final cutoff
RBI ASST - Same qualified phase 1 but could not clear phase 2
SBI Assistant - Selected
IBPS RRB OS1 Score 121
IBPS RRB OA score 171
IBPS PO - Written 76 interview 67 total 43.80 selected as BOI PO
IBPS Clerk - Written 135 interview 67 total 64.00 Selected for Central bank

So friends its really happiest moment in my life with so many struggles and
problems atlast I had proved myself that I was not wrong. Its my love my wife
who stood with me for my success.

Hi, friends.
My name is Sandeep Reddy. I completed B.Sc. from Osmania University in 2012.
In 2013 I started writing bank exams. My first exam was IBPS Specialist Officer
in April 2013. It was a big disaster for me. I got only 113 marks in that exam
where the cut off was 130+. After that I prepared for SBI PO 2013. But again a
failure. Got 107 marks in written but failed in English section by 2 marks. Applied
for Karur Vysya Bank clerk. I thought I have a very good chance because only
20000 applications received by the bank. But one more failure. At this point I
was having a doubt in my mind. Can I clear any bank exam?
But after few months, IBPS released notifications for IBPS POs, Clerks and RRBs.
I thought this time I'll come out with a job in at least one exam. Exams are over
results declared by IBPS and mixed feelings for me. Cleared IBPS PO but failed
IBPS clerks. Cleared RRB Clerks but failed RRB PO. IBPS PO cut off was 61 and I
got only 62 marks. It was my first interview in banking and I was clueless about
the marks I needed for Final selection. And in the end Got only pass marks in
interview. I was nowhere near the final cut off. Only hope was RRB clerks. I got
126 marks in written. Applied for all RRBs, but did not receive any interview call
as the cut off was 131.
With all the disappointment I started preparing for next exams and waiting for
notifications. Then I got an opportunity to write Postal Assistants exam. But bad
luck again got 69 marks but the cut off was 72. Applied for SBI Clerks and same
story. RBI Assistants. Same Same Same. Now came IBPS exam season
(September-November). By that time I was with full of disappointments in my
life. I was unable to concentrate on my studies. I lost my dearest ones too. I went
through the exams anyhow. But this time everything was in favor of me. Cleared
all IBPS exams. Went through the interviews. And finally the wait is over. Got
selected as Probationary Officer in Bank of India.
Never get disappointed with failures. They are only stepping stones of your
success.
Overcoming failures is the only way to succeed in life.

6 + years
It all started when in year 2012 my father fall severely ill and I am being the only
child was responsible for reviving his health condition(s). Being in private sector
firms one does not enjoy the privileges of extended leaves when there is need. I
was in middle of my job & my family, and I chose my family, as FAMILY
ALWAYS COME FIRST. After six months when my father condition improved I
started looking for job and started working in an engineering college. During
those two years even after my 100 % dedication & sincere efforts I was not
appreciated for the pain I was taking.
Finally I decided that time has arrived when I would have to take some concrete
steps to improve my situation financially & socially. And with this determination
I started looking for various career options available to me which can help me in
achieving the task which I have zeroed upon. I finally choose career in banking to
be a landmark in my life. Still a herculean task for me as I dont have enough time
with me because I was already 28 +
On the very same day I google all the information which I would be requiring &
luckily for me I came across this wonderful
site http://www.bankexamstoday.com/

The Start
The journey was not easy as I being a engineering student from 2011
batch. After my college I was placed in top MNC and I was extremely
happy about it.
I worked for about 2 years in IT and I being a electronics and
communication engineer found it difficult to learn coding and all.
Because of which I found no growth as the technology which I was
working was about to be scrapped as they were replacing new
technologies. I had to decide whether to continue in IT or choose a
different path. This affected my performance and unfortunately due to
internal problems I lost my job in Aug13.
I started searching jobs and appearing interviews but all I had to face is
rejection. I went through sleepless nights, depression and breakdown. I
cried day and night as it got difficult to face friends and relatives. I was
jobless for almost 5 months. Those were worst days of my life.
At that time my sister who was appearing for bank exams advised me
to also give these exams. I felt as got a ray of hope and made up my
mind to get a government job which has a respectable status and job
security.
Meanwhile to meet financial needs I took a job as lecturer in
Polytechnic college as I could get lots of time for preparation.
The preparation
I started my daily study from basics by practicing R.S.Agarwal and
various old papers.
I practiced reasoning and Quants a lot but when I appeared for 1 st time
for IBPS clerk 3 I was completely messed up.
I left like total failure. I couldnt even solve simple maths questions.
I started my preparation again and started SWOT analysis. I realized
I was lacking in Quants and current affairs.
I solved Quants every single day from different previous years papers
and current affairs capsules proved very beneficial. Computers was my
strong part as I had engineering background.
Thereafter I appeared for almost 12 exams in a span of 1 year and
faced failures and success also.
My attempts
IBPS Clerk- III (missed by 8 marks )
IBPS SPL III (not cleared)
SBI SO ( not cleared)
SBI Assistant (missed by 5 marks )
RBI Assistant (missed by 7 marks )
IBPS PO-IV (missed by 15 marks )
IBPS Clerk IV (selected BOB final : 61 marks)
SBI PO Assosiates (not cleared)
NIA AO (not cleared)
NIA Assistant ( cleared, Interview on 7th April)
SBI Associates Assistant
(Result Awaited)
IBPS SPL IV (not cleared)
I missed many exams by meager margin.
With every failure I realized I need to improve myself for time
management, practice and tricks. With days passing I felt confident
and decided never to move back.
Most important I started allotting time limit for different exams as per
strength and weakness. I gave only 15 mins for both General
awareness and Computers and 45 mins for Quants.
The D- Day
On 1st April my joy knew no bounds as I heard my result and my
parents almost cried for my success.
Positive approach
There are lots of opportunities in banking and insurance sector. I kept a
positive attitude and I can win attitude.
There will be friends and relatives who demoralize for competition of
exams but we need to be firm to reach towards our goal.
Almost all the questions are repetitive make notes, improve skills, read
newspapers, learn new tricks and learn the statergy.
Learn to rise after every fall.
Friends I know how it feels to be unemployedBut trust yourself and
Godthe day you are selected you will forget all the pains and enjoy
every moment.
My goal doesnt stop here as I will start my preparations for PO now
and the journey begins now.
I need two things in this journey : Faith in self and patience towards
LIFE.and I would say PATIENCE WORKS WONDERS J
