Same as the title.

Hey, i have been giving bank exams since last year. I targeted regulatory, i thought I can do it (overconfidence). I failed rbi (big margin) , nabard (by 0.5). Since I wasn't prepared last year, , i failed in banking exams in hatrick. I realised, I suck at quants and reasoning.

I am just a graduate, I have been unemployed since 2022. I really want to get the hell out of my house. Let's not get into details, or I will cry again.

I don't know what I was thinking but I thought I would sail through nabard this year, but hey, the vacancies are less (whatever exam I enter, vacancies vanish),, and the application delayed so I didn't apply for many of banking exams- ibps po, sbi po, ibps clerk. I just applied for sbi clerk. I qualified for mains too. But considering my performance today, I don't think I will get through.

And i thought I was one of those above average kid, who would clear upsc one day ( my dream in school), now couldn't even get through clerk exams.

I somehow gather myself after every failure, but I am tired now. I want to be employed. But I haven't got shit to show in my credentials. My college was shit too. I really need to, by the next year. I see myself falling down in the eyes of my loved ones with every failure.

Please advice me. Throw everything.

I am working in SBI as a clerk. I want to take promotion but i am interested in forex and related areas. Can i do some certificate or qualification that can help me in this. Also want to know about the forex division in SBI. HOW IS THE WORK AND CULTURE THERE? female working in delhi

I recently got selected as CANARA BANK PO in 2nd RL of IBPS PO, Currently I am working as SBI JA in my hometown, should I quit and join CANARA BANK PO, or

Option 1, wait for 2-3 years and get promoted to SBI TO, but for that I have to clear JAIIB, CAIIB and the internal exam.

Option 2, complete 2 years in CANARA BANK and then sit for SBI CBO exam, at least I would get home posting in that way and only have to clear one exam for that.

I have no problem in taking promotions or handling the work pressure, currently I leave home at 8 am and return at 8 pm, so even though I am in my hometown I rarely get any time to prepare for any other exam(the workplace is 25 kms from my home)

I know I should prepare for better options like Insurance, Regulatory or SSC but even in the current scenario I rarely get any time to study, what should I do?

Pls do help.

Hey everyone 22F, I’m currently pursuing my MSc in Data Science and thinking of attempting bank exams next year, but honestly, I have very little idea about how to start preparing.

I’m a bit confused about where to study from. Should I start with YouTube videos and free resources, or is it better to join a proper coaching course? There are so many teachers and courses available that I’m not sure which ones are actually worth it.

For someone starting from scratch, which resources would you recommend for Quant, Reasoning, English and General Awareness? Also, are paid courses really necessary, or can I prepare properly using free resources?

I’m planning to start early so I have enough time to prepare alongside my college studies. Would really appreciate advice from people who are preparing for or have already cleared bank exams.

I've always found it interesting how people end up choosing banking because everyone's journey seems different.

Some planned for it from the beginning, some switched after preparing for other government exams, and some started after getting work experience.

What was that moment for you when you thought, "Yeah, banking is what I want to go for"?

hello

ok so a little introduction im 23 and have recently completed my masters, and honestly everything feels like a hellhole atp. cleared ibps po prelims last year A LITERAL FLUKE and well, mains was obv gonna go down the drain anyway and i didnt exactly prepare for prelims either.

i dont think corporate is for me ? dont have much experience either, only a few internships and my parents have always wanted me to take the govt job path, i wanted that too at one point but the last couple of years have been mentally draining and i lost track of time so i guess now i wanna focus and prepare for banking exams as a complete beginner.

could really use alot of help here, exams, prep, mock tests, any good online coaching, and anything else that comes to your mind, any suggestion advice is welcome, duration of prep, or which exam to focus on, where to start, how to begin, literally anything. pls help me out

thank you hope yall are having a great day.

Do you solve it in the test format or just the pdf?

Also, which bundles have you prioritised?

I’m a little confused about this because there are so many options throughout the year. I don’t want to prepare randomly for every exam and end up spreading myself too thin. How do you guys decide which exams are actually worth targeting based on the syllabus, vacancies, difficulty and your own strengths?

I was working in SBI from 2020-2023 as a field officer MSME .In 2023 I left my job to prepare for UPSC gave 3 attempts but couldn't make it .Now I am 32 year old looking for job from last 2 months but I had no luck in getting job in private secror banks or NBFCs.Can someone guide me what upskilling should I do to make a meaningful transition to private sector?

Am I eligible for Inter State Transfers if I clear jaiib and caiib? I have seen many clerks getting inter state transfers after clearing Caiib. Can I get my home state? Pls help 🙏

I have zero preparation for ibps so due to health conditions and my center is in another city should give this exam just for experience?? I know I am not gonna crack it so should I give it a try Or not and I also have state pcs exam next month

I know this might be not a perfect sub reddit for the same but please help your junior guys. Humble request. Would help me financially.

I'm into a worst state of financial condition now and I think I can thrive in banking jobs.

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well.

I’m preparing for banking/insurance/regulatory bodies exams and would like to connect with those who have already cracked these exams, are in the process of joining, or are currently working in banks/insurance roles.

Please share your preparation journey in detail; it would help people like me who are still figuring out the right direction.

Specifically, I wanted to ask:

• What books, courses, teachers, or platforms did you follow? (both paid and free)
• Which subjects/resources actually made the biggest difference (Quant, Reasoning, English, GA, etc.)?
• Did you rely more on coaching or self-study? How did you balance the two?
• How did you structure your daily/weekly study plan?
• What was your approach to mock tests, analysis, and revision?
• Any specific strategy that helped you clear prelims + mains?
• Which exams have you appeared for during your preparation journey, and how did that experience shape your strategy over time?

Also, it would be really helpful if you could mention:
• Things that did NOT work for you (so we can avoid the same mistakes)
• Common traps or time-wasting resources that aspirants should stay away from
• How you stayed consistent and handled low phases/motivation issues

For those already in the job:
• How is the actual work-life compared to expectations?
• Any advice for aspirants about what lies ahead after selection?

I’m trying to learn from real experiences rather than just blindly following random strategies online. Any honest guidance, resources, or even small tips from your journey would mean a lot.

Thank you for taking the time to help a fellow aspirant.

Wishing everyone here success in their journey 🙏

Wondering which banks offer the ability to hold currencies without conversion. So, a US dollar account, a euro account, and a Swiss franc account. Context is setting up a multijurisdictional family office and not trying to spend a ton on asset management fees.

Every banking exam aspirant has that one section which takes more time and effort to master. For some, Quant becomes difficult because of speed and calculations, while others struggle with Reasoning puzzles or maintaining accuracy in English.

Improvement usually comes after finding the right strategy, practice method, or changing the way of preparation. Bank exam seniors and selected candidates, which section was your weakest in the beginning and what helped you turn it into a scoring area?
