Despite the Exam was easy to moderate many candidates complained about low attempts due tomis-management of Time, as the exam pattern was quite lengthy. Career Launcher, last time had given an incredulously amazing result. All the students in their respective batch [27/27] were selected and are presently working as PO in J&K BANK.
This was due to the Career Launcher`s unique pedagogy and update study material. CL`s faculty is unmatchable i.e they have proven themselves by scoring high in such Aptitude exams.
