“IF YOU DON’T SACRIFICE FOR WHAT YOU WANT,
WHAT YOU WANT BECOMES THE SACRIFICE”
NAME- SUNIL KADAM
Disqus id- YES I CAN
Well, I was eagerly waiting for this day to come. Now finally I can call myself as ‘RBI ASSISTANT‘. I would like to share my whole journey which started around 3 years ago. I completed my BE(E&TC) in 2013. After completion of my graduation I started preparing for MPSC till September’2014. But soon I realized that the number of vacancies in banking sector is more as compared to MPSC, so I decided to prepare for bank exams. Soon I started appearing for banking exams starting with IBPS PO exam in October’2014. Here are the following exams I had given but could not make into the final list. Total I have given 50+ exams. Some of these are:
1)IBPS PO 2014- Marks 68(cutoff 82)

RBI ASSISTANT nailed it finally. 
Some Strategies/Books I would like to share with u all.
General Awareness:
For GA, I started reading Daily Current Affairs provided by Affairs Cloud and then monthly Pdfs of Gktoday accompanied with AC’s Final exam Capsule. For Banking Awareness you can follow any two websites like Affairs Cloud, Banking Mantras, Gk today, Bankers Junction, Bank King etc.
English:
Frankly speaking, I am not very good in English. But I used to read newspapers and attended Live Sessions of Banking Mantras website which helped me a lot to score better in English. The book I referred was S.P.Bakshi.
Reasoning:
This is my strongest section as I can score better in this section. In fact I attempted 40/40 in reasoning section for RBI assistant exam. I practiced puzzles a lot from AC, BM and other pdfs. MK Pandey book is good for analytical Reasoning.
Quantitative Aptitude:
Initially R.S.Agarwal is good for clearing basics. If your basics are clear then no need of this book. Then I slowly shifted to Mtyra, Fastrack by Rajesh Verma. Sarvesh Verma (Cat book) is also the best one. But I would like to suggest you all to use only a single book and practice it a lot instead of practicing from 2-3 books.
Computer: Books I had preferred were Arihant and Lucent publications.
Last but not least, speed test for me was like cherry on the cake during my preparation time. The speed test I would like you all to recommend is Practice Mock and Olive board.
Lastly, I would like to thank my parents who supported me a lot during my ups and downs, my sister’s, my friends especially Abhishek sir, Bhavna mam, my Roommates, Hacker bhai, Khushbu mam, Gracious, Farooque, Yashwant, Sachinkadam, Praveen, katherine Pierce, Divyanshi mam, AC and BM family. Sorry if someone’s name is missed. Thank you everyone once again for supporting me whole-heartedly.
Friends! Never ever give up on a dream just because its taking time to accomplish. The time will pass any way. All the best for your upcoming exams and NEVER EVER GIVE UP UNTIL THE GOAL IS NOT REACHED.
Thank you.
Many many Congratulations to you Sunil (Yes I Can). Its a journey full of efforts, patience, practice, consistency and determination. You really defined you Disqus Id name (Yes I Can). Trust me, not many people who set such names can win the game of “walk the talk”. We are happy and very proud of you.
Aspirants, just learn or just think for once what it would be like to keep your patience alive and never quit like Sunil. 50+ exams. Sometimes we are good, we have command on each subject but still we lack somewhere, very little may be in points but we do. What is important is what he said, “you must not be a quitter”.
We wish all the best to Sunil for his coming days and RBI journey. We hope you will be in touch with Banking Mantras forever. Thank you and Congratulations.
