Inspiring Success Story of Ankul Pandey

Hello, my name is Ankul Pandey. I’m from Surat, Gujarat. I am selected as SBI clerk 2020. I graduated B.E. in electrical engineering from Pacific School of Engineering, Surat in 2017. After graduation, I started my preparation by doing self-study, as I thought that I could clear it on my own. But things didn’t go well. I appeared for IBPS clerk 2017, but could not qualify for prelims. In 2018, I started again with the basics and appeared for SBI Clerk & IBPS PO but couldn’t even qualify prelims because of not giving mock tests. In 2019, I analyzed my past 1 and half years and found that using so much of the internet & social media apps lead to my failure in all 3 exams & I also decided that I will not make any strategy on my own. So I decided to join a coaching class. In Feb 2019, I joined & attended each and every class, understood every topic, methods, and tricks for 3 months. I used the strategies that my mentors told me to do. I appeared in these exams in 2019 – 

FCI – pre-cleared, not mains 

SBI PO – Prelims not cleared 

SBI Clerk – Pre cleared, not mains 

IBPS PO – Pre cleared, not mains 

IBPS Clerk – Pre cleared, not mains 

IBPS RRB PO – Pre cleared, not mains 

IBPS RRB Clerk – Pre cleared, not mains 

LIC Assistant – Pre cleared, not mains 

EPFO assistant- pre not cleared 

LIC HFL- Pre not cleared 

I got very depressed because I prepared for 6-7 months but could not qualify for any mains exam. In 2020, started again by giving prelims mock tests & read newspapers daily. I appeared for RBI assistant – failed by 2 marks in prelims. I also appeared for SBI clerk and finally I cleared.
