Inspiring Success Story of Kumar Saurabh
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. My basic strategy was to first have conceptual clarity and then move on to taking mock tests. Practice was the main mantra for my success which also eventually resulted in getting selected in IBPS RRB Officer Scale 1 and SBI PO.
