1. Here’s Her Motivational Journey – Success Story of Sanchi

Hello everyone. First of all, it’s no Success Story. I don’t think I am yet in a place to call it a success story. I’d rather call it an Experience Story. So, thank you Oliveboard for giving me this chance to share my experience with all the Future Achievers.

My name is Sanchi Gupta. I did my graduation in Electronics & Communication from Jammu University. 

Here is a bit of background:- At first, I didn’t have any clue what I actually wanted, and honestly I still don’t have any. So if you’re also clueless IT’S COMPLETELY NORMAL! 

I qualified GATE in 2015 and I was all ready to pursue my Master’s Degree. But, as fate would have it, life took a different path. It was a total shift from Technical to Non-Technical field and all I had in my mind was that I needed a Government Job. I was stuck between SSC CGL and the banking sector so I started preparing both side by side.

After giving the first few exams I realized it is not as easy as I thought, with the competition scaling up and vacancies plunging down.

Here are a few exams that she appeared for:

• Bank of Baroda – missed it by 1.75 marks.
• Cleared SSC CGL tier 1 with 155 marks. Couldn’t clear tier 2.
• IBPS PO– Cleared Pre. Failed in Mains
• LIC AAO– Failed
• IBPS RRB PO– Cleared in First Attempt

So, let me tell you that I started preparing for government sector exams very seriously in 2016 and I got my joining within 10 months of my preparation. But, I know it’s just the beginning and there’s a lot more to it.

It’s never too late to start preparing for any exam. Remember the two tools:-

• Hard Work
• Perseverance

Make them your strength and achieve it.

Puzzles form the major portion of this Section. Hence, find any good book or website and keep practicing. Set yourself Daily Target like doing 5 puzzles daily or whatever you are comfortable with.

3. Few Things To Keep In Mind – Suggested By Sanchi

Sanchi feels initially she committed a few mistakes that every aspirant should avoid in order to realize their dreams:

 

• Not giving sufficient mocks? Buy any Test Series you want to (I followed Oliveboard)

• Revision from Test Series. Oliveboard has a great content of questions. Test level is a bit on the tougher side but again will be a check on your preparation. So, Revising Test Series is a must!

• Not reading the newspaper? Don’t skip it in any case.

 

• Relying on the “Areh yeh toh aata hai, yeh ho jayega” fact. Speed is all that matters. 
• Underestimating General Awareness and relying on only capsules.  Start from the beginning. Daily. Weekly. Monthly.

Pro Tip For Aspirants: Follow online resources (Highly recommended) religiously to have an upper edge over other aspirants.

If I can, anyone can! ☺ All the Best!
