SUCCESS STORY OF AAA-BRIGHT ACADEMY STUDENT DHRUV DOGRA 2015

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm- DHRUV DOGRA

 Name- Dhruv Dogra

 Age- 21

 Place- Chandigarh

Hey friends, once I was a reader of success stories. Today I am sharing my own.

My life is full of preparation for many things. Right from school Olympiads, IIT, AIEE etc.

But I failed to get good score so, I did BCA from PU. From the starting I believed that everyone should have a time to reach his best, but hard work brings that time earlier.

After my graduation I joined AAA-BRIGHT ACADMY straight away because I knew I wanted to be a banker one day and believe me it was one of the best decsions to join (B.A).

I attended each and every class and gave regular Sunday test. After completion of batch I started studying in nearby library daily for about 9 hrs. My first exam was sib po 2014 and it was a shocker as I couldn’t even attempt (D.I) section and failed mesearoubly.

That moment changed whole of my preparation, I consulted mahajan sir and I started doing smart work instead of only hard work and the rest is what they say is history. J

Exams cleared- IBPS PO, CLERK, RRB, SBI ASSOCIATES PO, SBI ASSOCIATES CLERK

ISRO ASSISTANT, NIACL AO, OICL AO, DRDO JR. ASSISTANT, NICL ASSISTANT, SBI PO (PRE)

AND finally I CAN PROUDLY SAY IM A BANKER AS I JOINED STATE BANK OF PATIALA.

Thanks to almighty god, my parents, and my respected (B.A) teachers.

Friends I just want to share one thing see there is allot of competition and every year competition as well as difficulty level increases. So make it a habit to solve at least one speed test daily and DO NOT ignore any section if you are weak in any particular section then work on it. And the last one is the TIME MANAGEMENT which is most important.

GOOD LUCK FRIENDS. J
