Read Bijan Halder’s Success Story

Hello..! My name is Bijan Halder. I am from a small city Santipur of West Bengal. I completed my graduation in October 2020 in Mathematics. I had a dream to crack UPSC. But, looking into the financial condition of my family I had to change my decision. My father is a weaver. During lockdown he lost his work and started selling vegetables in local market. I used to help him in selling vegetables. However, after my graduation, within 5 months I cleared 4 exams in my very first attempt.

  • IBPS PO ( Allotted PNB)
  • IBPS Clerk (Allotted PNB)
  • RRB PO (Allotted BGVB)
  • RRB Clerk (Allotted BGVB)

I miss the final list of SBI PO..! Scored 95.95 in mains. Failed because of Interview (got only 20). Yet, It’s not less than a great achievement for a 22 years old guy to have 4 govt. job.

Section-wise Preparation Strategy

English Section Preparation Strategy

English section is all about reading habit. Being a Bengali medium student this section was a nightmare to me at the beginning. But gradually I developed my confidence and performed well. Besides reading, I read SP Bakshi and Neetu Singh. According to me, Neetu Singh is best for grammar and SP Bakshi is for vocabulary. I practiced a lot from mock test. The solutions of mock tests are very helpful.

Quantitative Aptitude Section Preparation Strategy

I was good in math. But it is not enough here. There is 35 questions to solve in 20 min. So speed is the most vital thing here. I watched basic calculation video from AMAR SIR youtube channel and cleared my basic idea from the same. Then practiced a lot from mock tests. PracticeMock mock tests are really good here.. The level of questions is really commendable.

Reasoning Section Preparation Strategy

Reasoning is one of my favourite subjects. I always loved to solve problems of General Intelligence. But for Bank exams there is many more to do in this section. A major 60% of Reasoning section contains puzzel. I strated to watch videos of Ankush Lamba. I cleared my basic idea there and then moved on to mock tests of PracticeMock. I purchased PracticeMock Pro for 9 months. I solved all the puzzels of pre mock tests. The solution they provide helps me a lot. For other miscellaneous topics I searched them topic wise in youtube. Cleared my basic idea and then practiced a lot from mock tests. Mock tests are the real game changer in bank exams. It helps me to increase my speed and accuracy. Reasoning section is all about practice. Practice will make you perfect here..!☺️

General Awareness Section Preparation Strategy

I am not a master here in this section. I had only 24 days to cover 6 months GA which is next to impossible. The mistake I make here is that I tried to follow unlimited sources. So, here I will share my learnings..!

Do not follow various sources! Don’t try to cover 6 months GA in a month. Cover GA daily. I would suggest to attempt Current Affairs Quizzes (Weekly) of PracticeMock. There are also very helpful.

Overall Strategy, Study Schedule & Challenges Faced

At the beginning I tried to follow a study shedule. But believe me, it won’t work in the long run. Then what to do?. Study with strong determination. Don’t make fool yourself. I started my preparation with a strong determination. I was not so good at that time but I strongly believed that I have the ability to clear those exams. I started searching strategy videos in youtube and I found some common things in them :

1. Determination + Hardwork

2. Speed + Accuracy

3. Practice

4. Self confidence

Yes, I faced many hurdle. I was not so good at english. My speed in puzzle solving was very slow. So how did I overcome it? It is all about practice. Practice will make you perfect.
