PM: Did you face any hurdle as well? How did you overcome it?

Shubham: I have 16 members in my family & my home is also not too big. Initially, I joined a library but due to corona, I had to study at home. But as my family members were very supportive, they helped me in every possible way.

PM: Did PracticeMock help you in your success? Please elaborate.

Shubham: When one wants to get higher marks in exams then he has two options: oliveboard & PracticeMock. I prefer PracticeMock as oliveboard mocks are really tough & I did not want to get demoralised. PracticeMock helps me to get a margin of 21 marks in SBI PO mains even when exam was tough this year.

PM: What’s your message for the fellow aspirants who are preparing for competitive exams?

Shubham: Study hard until you will get success because everyone has his time to get success & it definitely comes.
