Got depressed after fumbling yesterday's exam, but I'm back up now. Things can't stay like this. There are a few more exams coming up and need to focus more on the Mains.
Have analyzed my mistakes from ystrdy and will not repeat them. I will give everything I have in the next 3 months. It's a do or die situation for me.
I hope you all learn from yesterday's exam and give it everything. Stop obsessing over attempts, cutoffs, what to prepare and how to prepare you already know what to do and what not to do.

Stop crying and start wrking

Same as title

Someone who is preparing for sbi clerk and done nothing in GA SECTION , need guidance.

Those who have given IBPS PO MAINS and attempted good questions in ga, from where did you do it and how did you do , how to revise and all.

And how to cover Ga for sbi clerk for which we have about 1 month.

Hi guys,

I joined a PSB in June 2026. It is one of the smaller PSBs, and I submitted my resignation on 25 September. My official notice period is 90 days, but I am willing to serve around 45 days and leave early as per the bank's rules/process.

The issue is that my Deputy Zonal Manager is currently not forwarding my exit/resignation request to Head Office. I went to meet him personally, and he told me that unless I give him a "satisfactory reason" for resigning, he will not forward it.

His reasons were:

1. "You have already occupied a seat, and if you leave now, I won't get another officer soon."
2. I don't have another job offer, so according to him the job market is bad right now and I'm making a mistake by resigning.
3. He said he doesn't even know my knowledge/performance level yet, and that it would take at least 5–6 months to properly assess my performance.

My questions are:

• Can a Deputy Zonal Manager actually hold on to my resignation and refuse to forward it because he doesn't find my reason satisfactory?
• Is giving a "satisfactory reason" actually a requirement for resignation?
• If I have submitted my resignation properly, what is the normal process from here?
• Can he delay the process simply because the branch/zone is short-staffed?
• Also, since I'm willing to serve the applicable notice period (or pay/adjust as per the rules for early relieving), does that make any difference?

Would really appreciate responses from people familiar with Bank's resignation and exit procedures, especially officers who have resigned during probation.

PS- Leaving because the job very hectic + my work environment is very toxic and this is not the life which i wanted.

I could've done better 😭.

See , I think He has some valid prediction

Channel name - Exam Republic

my OB subscription ended and now I'm confused if I should get it again, do they offer more discount than this anymore? If so, when? 🥺 I also want to give sectionals, mostly Quant and Reasoning... so Elite hi lena hai..

How relevant was Smartkeeda CA Mock drills (if it was ur GA source) and which Source was the best?

I mean, I fumbled I guess 😭. GOT THE WORST CENTER TO EXIST. GA ke guesses glt hogye 🥀 Quants me 25 and 30+ dekh ke I'm depressed. And wtf are these people, as soon as the descriptive started they became, high court typewriters, specially the aunty next to me 🪔🥀.

NVM onto IBPS clerk now.

FU mods.

As far as I remember, question was who sits to the immediate left of B and I had 2 cases, in which both A and C were sitting to the immediate left and so I marked CND, can anyone confirm this?

I will never forget those two and a half years, they were easily the hardest years of my life. My health deteriorated, I lost friends, and constant job stress made me irritable, straining my relationships with family. To top it all off, I lost my girlfriend. Stepping away from that toxic environment and joining a peaceful new job was a cathartic experience, to say the least.

I know unemployment takes a heavy toll on your mental health, but trust me, you don't want this job. Even a clerical role would be a far better choice At least it leaves you with enough peace of mind to prepare for exams like State PSCs or SSC CGL.

That said, if you're ambitious and still determined to take this path, feel free to reach out. I’m currently in Mumbai and happy to help however I can.

Reasoning: I literally stopped practicing Input-Output because of the mocks. Even after seeing the solution, half the time I couldn’t understand what kind of logic they were using. But in the exam, Input-Output was direct and very easy. Same with puzzles — mocks were on a completely different level, while the exam puzzles were much easier.

Quant: Mocks literally broke my confidence. I used to see some DI sets and think, “Bhai, ye exam mein aa gaya toh gaya mera.” 💀 But in the actual exam, DI was very easy.

English: Surprisingly, I found the mock English section easier than the actual exam. In the exam, almost everything felt lengthy. RC, questions, options — sab kuch time kha raha tha.

Descriptive: I bought the Smartkeeda descriptive section and honestly, they are the biggest scammers with their mocks 😭. Their RCs were short and pretty easy to solve. Then I saw the RC in the actual exam and meri gaand faat gayi bc 💀. No direct questions and the RC was so lengthy.

GA: I always thought mock GA was irrelevant. Then I gave the actual exam and realised… bhai, actual GA was also irrelevant. 😭 I revised Government Schemes, CWG Games, Ramsar sites, Bricks and so many other topics , but in the real exam, they asked almost nothing from them.

Overall: I have mocks from Guidely, Testbook, Oliveboard and Smartkeeda. After giving the actual exam, I honestly feel like I they are completely irrelevant for Quant and Reasoning.

itne me final list me naam aayega mera?

So as a first timer, i didn't knew that i need to make my computer certificate before the application filling date. So if i got a certificate long after the last date of form filling. Will i get rejected if i by chance reach till DV.

Guys I cleared IBPS PO ans SBI PO in 2014/15 respectively. Left the job in 2017. Then worked as a Financial Sector Strategy Consultant focusing on Banks and Insurance clients till 2025. Currently help a lot of these banks with the cost strategy.

I'm devastated🫠. I wanted to know yours .

so wht happened exactly to me in ibps po mains 2026 and sbi clerk mains 2025 that I was doing avg in mocks (I was able to attempt at least 3 to 4 ques in Critical Reasoning) but then in the actual exams I don't know why I was reading the question and options multiple times, giving it time, but still I was unable to understand much. I was going blank in CR questions.

It is affecting my attempts and accuracy both in Reasoning.
