1. Success Story of Amanjot – A Journey Of Clearing IBPS PO 2019

Hi, myself Amanjot Singh, and I am from Ludhiana, Punjab. I did B.Com in 2017 & thereafter I did my M.Com in 2019. Also, I cleared both my groups of Chartered Accountancy Intermediate & completed with my articleship as well. My dream always was to go to the banking sector so I had the option to pursue my CA Finals after graduation or prepare for the banking. Because at that time GST was coming so I thought not to just become a CA with obsolete knowledge, I decided to secure a job & then become a Chartered Accountant. So, even after multiple failures in the banking examinations I never gave up & ultimately cleared many banking examinations.

Just after my graduation in 2017, I cleared the Federal Bank clerk exam but missed out on the interview. Then after a long wait, I cleared the NICL Account Apprentice examination in which again I was put in the waitlist, later on, got posting in Guwahati, Assam. Then I also cleared LIC HFL’s Associate exam & got posting at Bhatinda, Punjab. But I joined neither of them. Then finally, came the best day when I cleared both IBPS PO with Oriental Bank of Commerce as well as the IBPS Clerk exam with Bank of India in the unreserved category.

So, I would be joining IBPS PO in Oriental Bank of Commerce which comes now under the Punjab National Bank.

My journey was full of ups & downs. For almost two years I didn’t even clear any pre-exam apart from Federal Bank clerk & NICL which were only just one exam, not pre & mains. But thereafter I ramped up my efforts & increased my sitting which earlier was very less. Also, I came to know about the best test series in the form of Oliveboard with a plethora of wonderful questions covering each & every topic. My strategy earlier was to just solve quizzes but that went miserable so after two years I again started from scratch from various video courses & youtube videos. 

2. Amanjot Subject-Wise Preparation Strategy

2.1 Quantitative Aptitude Preparation Strategy

I focussed on tables, cubes, squares & Vedic maths for simplification/approx, number series, quadratic equations, and word problems solving each level of every chapter. For DI, initially, I solved from random sites but after Oliveboard published its book, I preferred it both for pre & mains.

2.2 Reasoning Section Preparation Strategy

Firstly I cleared my concepts of miscellaneous portions of syllogism, order ranking, etc. Then I moved to puzzles, mainly from Oliveboard’s Puzzle mania which extensively covers each & every type of puzzle.

2.3 English Section Preparation Strategy

The only focus was on reading so I preferred reading various articles & also, youtube videos for each & every type of question. For descriptive as well, I daily wrote a summary of articles & read pdfs before the mains.

2.4 GA Section Preparation strategy

Even when my pre was not getting cleared I still maintained a daily diary, read newspapers, solved quizzes from Oliveboard & other sites. Also after the end of the month, I always preferred reading bolts by Oliveboard apart from my notes.

3. How Oliveboard Shaped Amanjot Preparation?

So, after the whole coverage, I only relied on mock tests, especially Oliveboard which helped me gain insights into areas in which I need to improve. In the end, I just want to say a huge thanks to Oliveboard for playing a predominant role in fulfilling my dream of being a banker.
