Where there is a will, there is a way- absolutely proved by Manisha Duhan who cleared NABARD Grade A exam 2020 with flying colors. If you aim for something with all your deeds it will come back to you. Manisha is a live example of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manisha belongs to a small village and faced every challenge to pursue her dream of acquiring a government job. Her family stood right behind her in every struggle she faced. Manisha has always been a meritorious student. From her childhood to her graduation, she had always stood out from the rest. She was a gold medallist in her graduation (B.Sc. Agriculture) from Rani Laxmi Bai Central Agriculture University and pursued her post-graduation from Indian Agriculture Research Institute, New-Delhi from pathology division. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming from the village, Manisha is well aware of the economy of the village, the industrialization of rural India, and the problems faced by the people there. Joining as an assistant manager in NABARD is apt and justified for Manisha. Her knowledge of agriculture and her upbringing in the rural area will benefit her in the career she chose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To know about Manisha\u2019s Success Mantra for clearing the NABARD Grade A exam<\/a>, read the article further. Let\u2019s read it from the words of Manisha Duhan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you choose NABARD?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I chose NABARD because it is the development bank of India working for rural prosperity, and because of its work towards rural India, it has always been a source of inspiration for me. NABARD is a clear and transparent organization working towards the development of both rural and non-rural economies. Because of the amalgamation of all these features, NABARD is the best organization to work with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When did you start preparing for NABARD Grade A?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NABARD was always in my mind as soon as I finished my post-graduation but then I started my preparation for the NABARD exam a year ago. I started my preparation as soon as the notification came. As I had two months of time to prepare for NABARD prelims so I devoted my whole time to preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manisha\u2019s Preparation Strategy for Prelims<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before preparing for any exam I recommend everyone to do a SWOT (Strength, weakness, opportunities, and threats) analysis for better exam preparation. Once I knew my strengths and weaknesses it was easy for me to move further in my preparation. I checked the exam pattern to see the areas I have to study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serial Number<\/strong><\/td>Sections Asked<\/strong><\/td>Total Marks<\/strong><\/td>Time Taken<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
1.<\/td>Quantitative Aptitude<\/td>20<\/td><\/td><\/tr>
2.<\/td>Reasoning<\/td>20<\/td>A composite time of 2 hours (120 minutes) <\/td><\/tr>
3.<\/td>English Language<\/td>40<\/td><\/td><\/tr>
4.<\/td>Computer Knowledge<\/td>20<\/td><\/td><\/tr>
5.<\/td>General Awareness<\/td>20<\/td><\/td><\/tr>
6.<\/td>Economic and Social Issues<\/td>40<\/td><\/td><\/tr>
7.<\/td>Agriculture and Rural Development<\/td>40<\/td><\/td><\/tr>
<\/td>Total<\/strong><\/td>200<\/strong><\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After analyzing the exam pattern I knew the major areas I have to focus on to. The ARD section, English, and the ESI section have the maximum weightage in the exam and fortunately, agriculture and rural development and the economic and social issues were my strengths. I was confident about English too. But, I feared the reasoning and quant section as these were my weaknesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NABARD exam has a sectional cut-off<\/a> which means you have to qualify for every section of the NABARD exam. Equal importance should be given to all the sections to sail through the prelims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devise a proper strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I recommend every aspirant devise a proper strategy. Every exam has a certain pattern thus for a fruitful result go through the previous years\u2019 papers to check the type of questions asked. Never skip any section if you are serious to clear the NABARD exam. Make a chart of important chapters from each section and it will be easy for you to proceed further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
