Government:

Everyone knows that getting into government sector is not that much easy as other jobs. Because there will be heavy even we can say that too much competition for few posts, as posts will be divided into each reservation category and zonal category. Overall Standard of the papers will be little simple but heavy competition.

Private Sector:

We cannot estimate anything from this sector. It depends.

Planning Early:

Don’t do mistake by not planning for the preparation of exam, be planned before the notification got released as many students who have already prepared are waiting to present their preparation efforts and skills in the exams. So to lead this competition you must be ready to face these guys. And these days there is a heavy competition in every field. Especially in banking sector after the introduction of single test (i.e., common entrance test for all public sector banks) you have to be very cautious as if you miss the test to qualify then have to wait an addition one more year to appear again for the exam. So be prepared, I mean at least plan for the exam preparation like how to prepare for the exam, when to prepare (set your own time table), know the syllabus well, collect the required books and mainly keep hope in yourself that you can and you will succeed the competition.

Preparation:

“Practice makes man perfect” this is a perfect quote to motivate and even to make a student aware of the exam preparation. Never be lazy while you are preparing for any competitive exam, as preparing with time management (i.e., spending specific time on the given question or problem) can and will make you perfect in getting the answer within less time as a result you can solve more number of questions in the exam, which results in good score and keeps you in the position which you are looking for. So be planned and cautious while preparing for exam.

If possible prefer to take coaching in good institute and it is not mandatory to take coaching. And there is no guarantee that you will always succeed after taking coaching. Here you can analyze yourself whether you need to go for Coaching or by self-preparation?

Take Efforts:

Whatever the exam be, whatever the competition be; just concentrate on your target and dream of your success.

Meanwhile you have to give your efforts while preparing, like taking notes of important points and important formulas so that you can refer whenever you want without wasting any time for searching these things again and again. Find some shortcuts for quantitative, which will help you in solving questions in the exam which may consume much time. Don’t simply depend on the notes and shortcuts which are given by others, try to make your own shortcuts so that you can remember them easily.

Interview:

We all know that this is the final step for your success. In other words “you have already reached to your room of success by stepping up each step (exam), the only thing left is to open the doors to get in”. Thus Interview is just like a key, the last and final step to get succeed. Just be prepared what interviewers are looking for? Don’t be panic, you have to be happy because you have already cleared all the tests. The only thing the interviewers test here is that “Do you really opt for the current job?”, you have to be very confident because you are here only because of your interest in that particular job. So just show (to be fact you have to “present”) your interest in front of the interviewers (don’t forget your hard work which you have given in preparation and get motivated yourself).

All the very best for all the aspirants who are preparing for the competitive exams
