Today, we will meet Ankit Saxena. He is a manager in a bank and also did very well in the SSC CGL exam, getting All India Rank 168 (AIR 168) for the JSO post. Let\u2019s hear about his journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ankits_Introduction\"><\/span><strong>Ankit\u2019s Introduction<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Meet Ankit Saxena from Agra, Uttar Pradesh \u2014 currently serving as a Scale 2 Manager in a Regional Rural Bank (RRB). His inspiring journey began with SSC CGL exam preparation through Oliveboard, where dedication and strategic learning paved the way for his success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Name:<\/strong> Ankit Saxena<\/li><li><strong>From:<\/strong> Agra, Uttar Pradesh<\/li><li><strong>Current Job:<\/strong> Scale 2 Manager in a Regional Rural Bank (RRB)<\/li><li><strong>Background:<\/strong> Started his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/ssc-cgl-notification\/?ref=contmk-db\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SSC CGL Exam<\/a> preparation journey with Oliveboard.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Exciting_News\"><\/span><strong>The Exciting News<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ankit found out about his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/ssc-cgl-result\/?ref=contmk-db\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SSC CGL Result<\/a> in a funny way and memorable way. He was peacefully sleeping at his hometown during a holiday when his friend, who is also a Junior Statistical Officer (JSO), tried calling him multiple times. Upon waking up, Ankit was surprised to see a flood of congratulatory messages on his phone, celebrating his remarkable achievement of securing AIR 168. Among the messages was one from his wife, a banker, who had also shared the exciting news. Needless to say, Ankit was overjoyed with the unexpected surprise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/ssc-cgl-previous-year-papers\/?ref=contmk-db\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download SSC CGL Previous Year Papers for free<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ankits_Background_and_Motivation\"><\/span><strong>Ankit\u2019s Background and Motivation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ankit Saxena describes himself as an average but hardworking student. He pursued his B.Tech in Computer Science from 2011 to 2015 and worked in an IT company in Gurgaon for 1.5 years. However, inspired by his mother\u2019s dream of seeing him in a government job, Ankit decided to shift his focus toward government exam preparation. After leaving the IT sector, he began preparing for competitive exams like IBPS, which he successfully cleared, and SSC CGL, aiming to secure a stable and respected position in the public sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"His_SSC_CGL_Journey\"><\/span><strong>His SSC CGL Journey<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ankit began preparing for both Banking and SSC exams while still working in the IT sector. Initially, he focused more on Banking exams as the results were declared more quickly, providing faster feedback. His first attempt at the SSC CGL exam was in 2017, where he successfully cleared the Preliminary stage but couldn\u2019t clear the Mains, mainly due to the challenging Mathematics paper that year. Despite the setback, he remained determined and continued his preparation. His perseverance paid off in his sixth attempt when he finally cracked the exam with an impressive All India Rank (AIR) of 168. Ankit is open and honest about the long and difficult journey he undertook to achieve success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Challenges_Faced\"><\/span><strong>Challenges Faced<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ankit\u2019s journey to cracking SSC CGL wasn\u2019t without hurdles. Along the way, he encountered personal and professional challenges that tested his determination. Here are some of the key struggles he faced during his preparation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>After getting the first job (banking):<\/strong> It\u2019s easy to relax and forget the main goal. Ankit\u2019s main dream was always SSC CGL, so he had to remind himself to keep working towards it.<\/li><li><strong>Marriage Pressure:<\/strong> His family fixed his marriage, and there was pressure to be settled. He thanks his wife for supporting his preparation journey.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/ssc-typing-test\/?ref=contmk-db\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Attempt SSC Typing Test For Free Here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advice_for_Beginners\"><\/span><strong>Advice for Beginners<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ankit shares important tips for people starting their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/ssc-cgl-preparation-strategy\/?ref=contmk-db\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SSC CGL Preparation<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Information Overload:<\/strong> There is too much study material online (YouTube, websites).
