Success Story of Shivam Tomar: Introduction
Hello, I am Shivam Tomar. I’m a resident of Baraut Town in Uttar Pradesh. I completed my BSc in Physics with Honours in 2020 and have been preparing for SSC CGL since June/July 2020.

English is also easier to crack if you stick to previous years’ questions and mock tests.
