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!
