What students speak of us?

Pooja Singh (IBPS RRB PO 2024) I have been preparing since August 2020. My selection used to fall short by a very small margin—like missing RBI Assistant by 5 marks, RRB Clerk by 5 marks, RRB PO in 2021 by 5 marks, and in 2023 by 0.7 marks. I missed LIC AAO by 5 marks, NIACL Assistant by 0.3 marks, SSC CGL 2022 by 10 marks, and RRB NTPC by 3 marks. Apart from these, I also narrowly missed the mains of SBI and IBPS exams by small margins. But finally, I got selected as RRB PO in 2024. Hard work always pays off eventually, so we should keep striving consistently. In this journey, Smartkeeda's mocks have helped me a lot. Their mocks boosted my confidence, and that's the reason I cleared all the prelims, no matter how few the vacancies were.
Saruthy B N (IBPS RRB Clerk 2024) I have been preparing for bank exams for the past two years, and Smartkeeda has been a game-changer in my journey. Their CA Mock Drills significantly improved my performance in the CA section, while their topic tests enhanced my speed and confidence. The YouTube sessions, particularly the Critical Reasoning series, were outstanding. Thank you, Smartkeeda, for providing such invaluable resources. Your support has been instrumental in my progress, and I'm grateful for your contribution to my success.
Subhalaxmi Pani (IBPS RRB PO & Clerk 2024) I began my preparation for bank exams seven years ago, brimming with hope and enthusiasm. Armed with books, mock tests, and online classes, dived into the world of competitive exams, faced my first attempt with optimism but fell short of success. Undeterred, vowed to try again. As the years passed, my journey turned into a test of patience and endurance. Each failure brought criticism from my family and villagers. ""Why are you wasting your time? Get married or take up something else,"" they would say. Despite the negativity, I remained steadfast in my belief that my hard work would eventually pay off. I have bought both full length mock test and CA mockdrills. Smartkeeda Mock tests are exam oriented and helped me to increase my marks.
Vidya Bisen (IBPS RRB PO & Clerk 2024) "Thank you so much, Smartkeeda, for providing current affairs in such an innovative manner. Because of the Current Affairs Mock Drill, I was able to score well in the exams. The content is up to the mark, exam-centric, and easy to learn and grasp. This was the section where I always lagged, but after purchasing your Mock Tests and CA Mock Drill, it became so easy for me. The content and the level of the mock tests are also superb. Thank you again! ❤"
