I Started preparing in 2019. At first I was average in Reasoning and weak in current affairs. So I would clear most pre but would stumble in mains due to Sectional. Then the deadly virus came in. Stopped everything but gave me a chance to focus on my weakness. After two years of near misses joined this year as a clerk in RRB. And now finally selected in IBPS clerk and have been allotted Union Bank.

Overall Strategy, Study Schedule & Challenges Faced

My only strategy was 1st to clear all basics. Then go for mocks and then solve those questions. I solved all questions atleast twice. And I tried to some all questions I couldn’t till I understood my mistakes. I was too weak in current affairs. Was hardly able to clear Sectionals but took help of some friends who were good there and they helped me improve somewhat.
