“Opportunities don’t happen. You create them.” Similarly, <\/i><\/b>Anubhav <\/i><\/b>followed his ambition and kept working hard to achieve success in his life. <\/i><\/b>Here is the success story of Anubhav Panigrahy in his own words:<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Success Story of Anubhav Panigrahy<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

“Greetings everyone! <\/span><\/p>\n

My name is Anubhav Panigrahy and I am from Bhubaneswar, Odisha. I completed my B.Tech in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela in 2014. Currently, I am working as an Administrative Officer at New India Assurance Co Ltd in Mumbai. <\/span><\/p>\n

Recently the final results of<\/span> RBI Grade B<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> 2018 were announced and I \u00a0am one of the shortlisted candidates. This is a short narration of my story so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following two successive failed attempts at<\/span> UPSC Civil Services Examination<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> after my graduation in 2016, I decided to shift focus to banking and insurance examinations. My first tryst was with<\/span> RBI Grade B exam<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> 2016, in which while I cleared phase I of the examination, I could not clear phase II. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, I managed to get selections at New India Assurance Co Ltd as well as Punjab National Bank. In fact, I had scored the highest marks in the NIACL exam<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and second highest in the IBPS PO exam<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> that year. I decided to join the former as I was faced with the opportunity to work in Mumbai. But in the back of my mind, I always knew that I had it in me to reach RBI.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

RBI Grade B Preparation Strategy<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

And thus in March 2018, I started my preparation for RBI Grade B 2018 examination. I relied mostly on standard textbooks like Ramesh Singh for ESI and Prasanna Chandra for Finance, complementing them with my own notes drawn from current affairs and newspapers. <\/span><\/p>\n

For phase 1, I enrolled for Oliveboard mock tests<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> as I had done for my earlier exams too, and I wasn\u2019t disappointed either. I cleared phase I comfortably with 135\/200 marks. While I appreciate the effort put in by Oliveboard in their phase II mock tests<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>, given the nature of the examination it is very difficult to provide tests that can give you an experience similar to the actual exam.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though I cleared phase II<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, I was well aware of the fact that I may not have cleared the exam by a huge margin as my performance was not up to my expectations. So, I pulled up my socks and was ready to go that extra mile to score big in the interview so that I had a shot at the final selection.<\/span><\/p>\n

I started reading 4-5 newspapers every day including a couple of business newspapers. I checked the RBI website regularly for updates, notifications, policy decisions, speeches, etc and made my own notes on them. I thoroughly went through the functions of RBI and their various departments. I even revised Ramesh Singh at least thrice before the day of my interview. Finally, my perseverance paid off when I found my roll number in the final list of selected candidates. However, more telling were the final marks scored by me:<\/span><\/p>\n

ESI: 64.75\/100<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

FM: 75.50\/100<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

English: 67\/100<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Interview: 42\/50<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Total: 249.25\/350 (UR cut-off: 248.50)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I had made it by just a whisker!<\/span><\/p>\n

Through my story, I would like to draw attention to two things. <\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, when one wants to achieve a big success in life, she has to be self-motivated. For two full years, I was in the comforting environment of my home while preparing for examinations. All I had to do was sit and study while everything else was served to me on a platter. But that wasn\u2019t enough for me to clear UPSC or RBI examinations<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> because there was this great fear of \u201cwhat-ifs\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, when I moved to Mumbai, I had to spend 8 hours at work, travel 2-3 hours daily, and then come back home to take care of my daily household chores, before I could even sit down to study. And yet I managed to clear the examination. The reason being, I literally did not have to look for inspiration any further than outside my office window to sneak a glance at the towering structure of the RBI central office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, the game is not over until the final results have been declared. My task was cut out for me after my phase II examination as I realized that any interview score less than 40 could sound like a death knell for me. And I went all in, giving it my best, with the confidence that I was still in the running despite my slightly below-par performance in phase II. And it was my interview that made all the difference in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would consider it a huge success if I could inspire even a handful of people through my story.<\/span><\/p>\n

Always remember that there could be a thousand reasons why you fail, but there should be no excuses.<\/span><\/p>\n
