Hello, my name is Kumar Saurabh and I come from the city of nawabs, Lucknow. I did my graduation in Philosophy from Hindu College, DU, and post-graduation in Sociology from IGNOU.
I started my preparation in January 2020 and SBI JA was the 1st banking exam that I took. The one thing that I followed during the lockdown was consistency which finally paid off in the form of Rank 1 in SBI JA mains.

Practice was the main mantra for my success which also eventually resulted in getting selected in IBPS RRB Officer Scale 1 and SBI PO.
