Government job has always been an attractive option for many aspirants & many aspirants are preparing for various exams. Some are preparing while working or with a job & others without a job. Both require a proper time management for their preparations to sail through the exams. Lakhs of candidates apply for different government job posts every year but only those who give their all to make it happen are selected. Proper time management is what is necessary for cracking any government exam. There are students who are preparing solely for government job exams. They have ample of time to study but they face various distractions along the day. They need to have a proper time table for their preparations & need to follow it effectively to do well in exams. Students who have a complete day should plan their studies so that they cover all the subjects in a day & give at least 2 hours to each subject. They will have other day to day activities as well but still have ample of time to study. The only thing they need to avoid is wasting time. Remember, you have ample of time to study but no time to waste. Many candidates who are already working may face an emotional turmoil about how to manage time to prepare for their exams. They may face a dilemma that should they quit their job to prepare for these exams or prepare along with the job. But they can read from various stats that many candidates those who have qualified for these jobs have been working professionals. Preparing along with a job will require an extra amount of effort but it is not impossible. You need to make a timetable according to your job shift as to when you can give time to which subject & follow it accordingly. It is better if you allot some time before your job hours & sometime after your job hours. If that’s not possible then you will have to study 4-5 hrs in continuation after your job. You really need to burn the candles at both ends to prepare along with your job, but if you have proper time management, you can definitely get through it. Time management & regularity are the main factors that an aspirant needs to manage for cracking government job exams. If you are regular with your studies then you can surely sail through the exam. Give your best & stay dedicated & focused towards your goal. COMPETITION POWER – OCTOBER EDITION - 2 0 1 8 3 www.bankersadda.com | www.sscadda.com | publications.adda247.com | Adda247App Success Sotry : BOB PO - Nidhi Bajpai Hello folks, This is Nidhi Bajpai from Gorakhpur (an aspirant like you all). I always wanted to write my success story since I started my preparation from 7 Sep 2016 & today God has given me this opportunity. After completing my post graduation (MBA in finance) in 2016 June I looked out for some private jobs but nothing appeared to be satisfactory. At that time my brother who is currently working in Axis bank suggested me to make up my mind for banking sector jobs. Taking his advice I entered into this line & started my preparation from September 2016. The first exam that I had to face was IBPS PO Pre-2016.I prepared & cleared the pre, this gave me a confidence that I am working on the right track but in mains, I failed badly due to GA section.This made me understand that to clear these exams I have to brush up my GA section. I started working on this section.I started following bankers adda on a regular basis. Then came IBPS clerk I again cleared pre but again failed in mains & this time by a margin of 0.75 marks. That 1st April 2017 the national result date was very horrible for me as defeating by such a low margin breaks u badly. Coincidentally BOB announced its vacancy on the same day seeing the notification itself I decided that I have to crack this by hook or crook. I started preparing for this exam very sincerely & cleared the written which I knew I will. Then came the next round GD-PI. I started preparing for these two rounds very sincerely because I never wanted to lose this opportunity after getting so close. I faced both the rounds in a very confident manner. Then came 13 sep 2017 almost a year passed since I started my preparation & seeing my name in the final list on this day made me feel Aaj mai upar aasman neeche. Apart from these exams, I appeared in various other exams. 1. Syndicate PO, failed by 10 marks. 2. IPPB, could not clear Pre. 3. Coal India limited, failed in spite of scoring very well. 4. SBI PO, failed in pre by 1 mark. 5. NIACL, failed. I did not appear for too many exams but these few exams before the final success made me learn various things. With each exam, I found something new in myself. These failures guided me where I lack & which sections I hold a command on. For the future aspirants, I would say never give up & always prepare with a positive mind & take every exam as if it is your last exam & you have to crack it. Sharing my way of preparation: Reasoning - This is the most scoring section but nowadays reasoning can surprise you so be prepared but one thing is clear to ace in this section you need to have a command on puzzles you cannot escape from this. I always found bankersadda quizzes very helpful because they provide the questions which are in trend. Maths - Frankly speaking this was my weak section or I can say I do not have so much command on this as I have on other sections. But still, I never ran away from this I always tried to make this section better & better. RS Agarwal this book helped me a lot & then the daily quizzes of bankers adda.
