What students speak of us?

Sumit Kumar Mishra (SBI Clerk 2024) Thank you, Smartkeeda, for providing such an enormous amount of Current Affairs content. After facing failures in RRB PO/Clerk and IBPS PO/Clerk, I finally secured my roll number in the SBI Clerk merit list. My only advice to aspirants: attempt as many mains mocks as possible—it's the key to final selection. Thank you once again!
Bablu Shaw (SBI Clerk 2024) Thank you so much, Smartkeeda! Your Mocks helped me a lot. After 2 years of hard work, I’m finally selected. Smartkeeda Mocks might feel tough at times, but believe me, they truly make a difference when you sit for the actual exam. I’m really grateful for such high-quality mocks at such an affordable price. Thank you once again!
Jatish Patel (SBI Clerk 2024) Smartkeeda was a game-changer during my preparation phase. I used their Mock Tests for almost 2 years and SmartRead for 1 year. Both helped me a lot. This year, I managed to clear IBPS CSA and got selected in Punjab & Sind Bank, as well as SBI Clerk.
Anurag Kumar (SBI Clerk 2024) Thanks to Smartkeeda mocks, this year I cleared IDBI, RRB, and now SBI JA. All these selections happened because of the Smartkeeda Mocks—they really helped me a lot, especially the CA MockDrills. I strongly recommend every banking aspirant to go through Smartkeeda mocks.
Sourav Kumar (SBI Clerk 2024) The CA Mock Drills helped me a lot. I couldn’t crack the exam last year because my GA section was weak—I was following a different source that didn’t help much. This year, I prepared GA from Smartkeeda, and I cleared all my Mains exams!
Arunabha Bose (SBI Clerk 2024) I began my preparation in 2021, and after facing many ups and downs, I successfully cleared SBI JA. This year, I also cleared the IBPS Clerk exam and joined PNB. Throughout this journey, Smartkeeda has been a great support—their CA Mock Drills are exceptionally helpful.
Avhik Saha (SBI Clerk 2024) Smartkeeda's full-length mocks prepared me for every level of difficulty that could appear in the exam. I'm truly grateful for their support in helping me clear this examination!
Santanu Das (SBI Clerk 2024) It was a beautiful journey. I feel extremely grateful to the Smartkeeda team for providing such content which helped me in prelims as well as mains examination. Thank you so much.
Nirdesh mishra (SBI Clerk 2024) When it comes to preparing for banking exams, nothing can help you better than Smartkeeda. Proper utilization of Smartkeeda's content can significantly increase your chances of clearing multiple bank exams.
Nayan Ghosh (SBI Clerk 2024) The Full-length and Sectional Mock Tests from Smartkeeda significantly boosted my confidence for both the Prelims and Mains. They are highly exam-relevant and truly effective for practice.
Vivek bhowmik (SBI Clerk 2024) Smartkeeda was truly helpful in my success in clearing the SBI Clerk Mains. The CA Mock Drills helped me improve my current affairs retention, which enabled me to attempt 23 questions in the CA section of the Mains exam. Additionally, the Speed Drills significantly boosted my speed during the Prelims. I'm genuinely thankful to Smartkeeda for playing such a big role in my preparation.
Ashish Kesharwani (SBI Clerk 2024) Smartkeeda Mock Tests helped me a lot during my preparation journey. Its exam-relevant questions provided an actual exam-level experience at home, which helped me stay calm during the real exam. The Speed Drills and Topic Tests played a major role in my practice—they exposed me to a variety of question types that strengthened my concepts. The detailed solutions offered extra conceptual clarity. Also, the CA Mock Drills are excellent, and the Smart Points are extremely helpful. In short, Smartkeeda is a one-stop solution for bank exam preparation.
SOUMIK BISWAS (SBI Clerk 2024) The journey to my selection wasn’t easy—I encountered many setbacks. In the beginning, I lacked awareness of quality platforms for mock tests. That’s when I found Smartkeeda. I invested in their full-length mocks, sectional tests, and CA MockDrills, and they proved to be immensely helpful. The content quality is outstanding. Thank you, Team Smartkeeda—I'll always be grateful for your support in my preparation.
AKASH GHOSH (SBI Clerk 2024) Smartkeeda’s full-length mocks are very useful for banking exam preparation, especially when combined with their Sectional and Topic tests. Their CA MockDrills are also extremely helpful for current affairs in any bank exam. Additionally, the Smart Points feature is particularly valuable for strengthening CA concepts.
Apurba Parui (SBI Clerk 2024) Hi, I'm Apurba Parui, and I recently cleared the SBI Junior Associate (Mains) and IBPS Clerk(Mains) 2024 exam. After struggling in previous attempts, I realized that just studying wasn’t enough — smart preparation was the key. What truly changed my approach was Smartkeeda's full-length mock tests. Their mock tests were very close to the actual exam pattern, especially the difficulty level of Reasoning and Quant sections. The detailed analysis and smart explanations after each test helped me pinpoint my weak areas and improve them steadily. I made it a routine to take at least 3 mocks per week, and I focused heavily on analyzing my mistakes, managing time better, and improving my accuracy. The General Awareness section in the mocks also gave me good revision practice. When I walked into the Mains exam, I felt confident and well-prepared — all thanks to consistent practice and Smartkeeda's quality mocks. I'm now proud to be working with SBI, and I credit a big part of this success to practicing smartly.
Ratul Roy (SBI Clerk 2024) Reflecting on a challenging yet rewarding year, I'm delighted to share the news of my selection in SBI JA 2024! This significant milestone, following my successful tackling of other exams like IBPS SO (AFO), IBPS PO, IBPS CSA, RRB OA, NICL Assistant, and CCI JCE, marks my 7th government exam clearance this year. Central to this string of successes was the unwavering support from Smartkeeda's comprehensive mock tests. Their realistic simulations were crucial for building my confidence and speed. Moreover, the targeted assistance from my SK Mockdrill Pro subscription was especially beneficial for boosting my scores in General Awareness. The structured content and insightful feedback from Smartkeeda's resources were fundamental to achieving these breakthroughs. Immense gratitude to the SmartKeeda team for everything!❤️
Bistirna Mahato (SBI Clerk 2024) I started my banking exam prepa-ration journey in 2022. During this time, I appeared in more than 20 banking exams. I cleared SBI Junior Associate (Clerk) mains in my second attempt. In 2023, I couldn’t clear even the prelims of any exam. But in 2024, I cleared the prelims of four exams. The SBI JA mains was the last exam I gave this year. I am not very strong in any one subject. I consider myself average in all subjects. One thing that really helped me was the SmartKeeda MockDrill. This was a game changer for me. Even though I couldn’t attempt a lot of questions, I focused on accuracy. In the SBI JA mains, I attempted only 13 questions, but all were correct. I believe SmartKeeda is the best platform for mock tests. It played a big role in my success.
Swapnanil Saha (SBI Clerk 2024) I can’t thank SmartKeeda enough for being a cornerstone in my preparation journey. After facing multiple setbacks in various banking exams, I finally saw my name on the SBI Clerk 2024 merit list—and it still feels surreal! The Current Affairs MockDrills, Smart Points, and their top-notch Mock Tests truly made a world of difference. What stood out was the exam-level quality of the questions, especially in mains mocks, and how well they prepared me for the real challenge. I focused on the last 6 months of Current Affairs and took mocks consistently, even when they felt tough. That practice built both my knowledge and confidence. Thank you, Smartkeeda!
Aryan Nagar (SBI Clerk 2024) There was a time when success felt far away. I was filled with doubts, pressure, and endless confusion about where I stood in the competition. Then I found SmartKeeda Mock Tests—and everything started to change. With every mock, I got better. The real-exam level questions, instant feedback, and performance analysis became my daily boosters. SmartKeeda didn’t just give me practice—it gave me direction. And today… I’m proud to say, I’m SELECTED. This victory isn’t just mine—it belongs to every late-night revision, every mock test attempt, and every bit of support SmartKeeda offered. Thank you, smartkeeda
Souvik Dey (SBI Clerk 2024) I enrolled in the mock drills and mock tests by Smartkeeda, which greatly improved my understanding. The Smart Points aid quick revision, and the current affairs quizzes enhance retention. The mock tests are often tougher than the actual exam, helping me build confidence. The detailed solutions and analysis have been valuable in identifying my strengths and weaknesses. Thank you to the entire SmartKeeda team for their excellent support.
