My parents suggested me to join Veranda RACE and prepare for Bank Exams. Within 8 months, I've achieved a Bank job in Central Bank of India. I used to attend tests in the computer lab at my offline branch for more than 6 hours. My mentors cleared all my doubts and my faculty motivated me and taught focus strategies to clear the IBPS Clerk Exam.
Thanks to Veranda RACE, I've cracked three Bank Exams - IBPS PO, SBI PO and IBPS Clerk. Coming a village in Tuticorin, Veranda RACE faculty helped me understand the syllabus and topics of Bank Exams. With full focus on Bank exams, I used to prepare daily in the computer lab and library with constant support from my Bank mentors. They cleared all my doubts without any hesitation.
I prepared for Bank Exams in Veranda RACE’s Tambaram branch. They trained me specifically for the ‘Agriculture Insurance Company’ Exam. I’m happy that I could contribute more to the profession of my choice! Thanks to the faculty and mentors of Veranda RACE!
Preparing from Tirunelveli, I want to thank my faculty for the constant support and motivation to crack the LIC ADO Exam. The lab facilities were top notch and I used to prepare writing online mock tests at the computer lab. This was the major reason for cracking the exam in the first attempt. Thanks, Veranda RACE!
My parents suggested me to join Veranda RACE and prepare for Bank Exams. Within 8 months, I've achieved a Bank job in Central Bank of India. I used to attend tests in the computer lab at my offline branch for more than 6 hours. My mentors cleared all my doubts and my faculty motivated me and taught focus strategies to clear the IBPS Clerk Exam.
