Success Story of Prasanta Karmakar (Cleared BOB, IBPS PO VI, 2016)

Prasanta Karmakar – Cleared BOB, IBPS PO VI, 2016

In his own words,

“My name is Prasanta Karmakar. I am from Asansol, West Bengal. I joined Tata Consultancy Services in the year 2013. However due to my interest in banking sector, I decided to start preparing for banking exams from 2015.
It was tough during the initial days of preparation, since it was difficult to find time to prepare after completing my office commitments. I started everything from basics during this period. Later in that year I appeared for IBPS PO 2015, but I could not clear the prelims. I introspected and at the same time did a research about the best test series available. I opted for Oliveboard in March 2016. And that changed my story.

I sincerely solved each and every test papers of Oliveboard and gave more time in reviewing the papers after completion of each test . The level was overall tough but I did not give up. I appeared for SBI PO that year and cleared the prelims. That pumped confidence in me. I kept practicing sincerely. Then I appeared for BOB Manipal PGDBF. To my surprise I cleared the written exam and appeared for the interview. That was a great confidence booster before IBPS PO 2016.

Later, I appeared for IBPS PO and cleared written as well as Interview. I have been allocated to United Bank of India.

I decided to join the Bank Of Baroda Manipal PGDBF course at Bengaluru and I am presently pursuing this.”
