Dear Aspirants,
I am Jayateerth S Deshpande. Today I am sharing my success story along with preparation strategy and I hope it would be the booster you are in need of. Before I start off, I would like to express my gratitude to my mother whose support was crucial, sister & brother-in-law who constantly guided me and of course the free platform of gradeup.
I started to prepare from July 11, 2017 after passing out in June 2017. In my opinion, self-confidence & proper guidance play superior role than anything else and with constant consistent efforts you can be the one who you want to be. Since I had an ongoing internship and job offers in my hand I wanted to know where I stood in the competition. Hence tried a PO Pre Mock with my placement preparation knowledge and this was the result.This was a gamechanger in my life as I decided to deny the job offers and start dedicated preparation
without getting enrolled to any money-making organizations.
Exams which I cleared -
Today, with God's grace I have cleared
1. IBPS SO IT Officer
2. IBPS Clerk
3. UIIC Assistant (This was my first mains exam. Cleared it with 3 months of preparation).
Exams which I could not clear -
I was unable to clear the following exams -
1. NABARD Grade A & B
2. RRB PO & Clerk
3. IBPS PO Mains (missed by 1.25 marks in reasoning section)
4. ECGC PO
• Quantitative Aptitude & Reasoning Tips
o Learn tables, the saviour
o Squares and cubes
o YouTube channels
o Daily quiz on gradeup
• English Language Tips
o SP Bakshi
o The Hindu. The last exam I wrote was ECGC PO and the type of Qs asked check your
knowledge rather than merely applying rules. So, make sure that you become an avid
Hindu reader.
o Daily quiz on gradeup
• General Awareness Tips
o gradeup quiz on daily basis.
o Monthly review.
• Professional Knowledge
o Any book that summarizes your B.E course. Concentrate more on the latest technologies
like Data Mining.
o Entire interview was about Network security.
Score in IBPS SO Exam 2017-
- Pre = 99.88/125 (Aptitude – 43/50, Reasoning – 43.75/50, English 13.13/25)
- Mains = 59.40/100
• Preferred mock test series
o Gradeup (great explanation of solutions)
Important Tips from My side :
- Start taking up mocks as soon as possible. Don't ever think that you'll start taking up only after the syllabus is completed.
- Clearing exams is more about accuracy than no. Of attempts. So, make sure to have at least 90%+ accuracy.
- If the exam is tough for it will be for everyone. You must keep calm
during the exam. This would be add-on for your performance. - Have your own strategy for each section.
- Give your best to be in the elite group.
- Focus more on qualitative study rather than quantitative and dream of clearing as soon as possible.
Please feel free to put your queries and I will try to answer them.
