Hello,
Every aspirant is a beginner first,so if you are determined and are persistent in chasing your dreams,then there's absolutely no hurdles, it's all in the mind so to speak.
Don't dwell in the past,live in the moment and try to work on yourself.
The best way to improve General Awareness is reading newspaper on a daily basis,you can start with The Hindu or Indian Express,read the editorials daily,it'll help you in vocabulary, comprehension and increase your general awareness as well. For banking and business part,you can read The Economic Times, just continue doing this on a regular basis.
To be strong in a language say English, you need to work on the foundation, the grammar part so start with any standard books and get your concepts clear, the basics topics such as Subject-Verb Agreement, Tenses, Adverb,Adjective,Prepositions etc. Once you have built the solid foundation,you can go for Plinth to Paramount or SP Bankshi's Objective English, for Vocab building Norman Lewis's Word Power Made Easy is the best book,there are many websites which provide mock test in offline mode,so try to solve them,again practice is the key.
If you need any other query,you can ask me in the comment box below.
All the best!
