Pooja Singh
(IBPS RRB PO 2024)
I have been preparing since August 2020. My selection used to fall short by a very small margin—like missing RBI Assistant by 5 marks, RRB Clerk by 5 marks, RRB PO in 2021 by 5 marks, and in 2023 by 0.7 marks. I missed LIC AAO by 5 marks, NIACL Assistant by 0.3 marks, SSC CGL 2022 by 10 marks, and RRB NTPC by 3 marks. Apart from these, I also narrowly missed the mains of SBI and IBPS exams by small margins. But finally, I got selected as RRB PO in 2024. Hard work always pays off eventually, so we should keep striving consistently. In this journey, Smartkeeda's mocks have helped me a lot. Their mocks boosted my confidence, and that's the reason I cleared all the prelims, no matter how few the vacancies were.

The smart analysis and detailed solutions for each question proved to be extremely beneficial, ultimately helping me get selected for SBI JA in 2025. The Mock Tests featured relevant, moderate-to-difficult questions that prepared me well for the actual exam. Thank you, Smartkeeda, for such high-quality content!💙💙
