Cracking IBPS P O in first attempt- strategy

IBPS recruitment is one of the most awaited exams for the job aspirants in India, for, no exams could simply spring board you into an excellent career in nationalized banks of India, 19 of them in all by merely writing an exam of 2hrs (until recently) and land up as an assistant manager in the bank. The security of the job, the five digit monthly salary, the social status and acceptance that the job provides is difficult to find in any private sector jobs even in the booming IT sector.

Any Graduate can attend this open exam that usually happens in the second half of the year during August, September,October, november or december. The exam follows a strict timetable that reduces uncertainties.
Now let me come to the main theme of the blog without wasting your precious time on trivial details of the job. Such things can be discussed in another blog.

In this blog i will try to share a strategy to crack this exam.Many coaching institutes make a killing in the name of these exams by charging exorbitant fees with little results to show for it. Students often does not realise that this exam can be easily cracked by systematic work covering books that are commenly available in market at low prices.

The IBPS P O exam is divided into two parts
1. the objective exam
2. Interview

The objective exam consists of two parts.
a. Prelims
b. Mains

This has been introduced in 2015 so to filter down the applicants writing mains.  But the preparation of prelims and mains should never be done separately.  Many students make the mistake and end up being out of the final list.

The portions for prelims is
a. Quantitative aptitude- 35
b. Reasoning- 35
c. English language- 30 conducted for a duration of an hour.

1	Reasoning Ability Paper	35	35	01 hour
2	Quantitative Aptitude Paper	35	35
3	English Language Paper	30	30
	Total	100	100

The mains portion consist of

1	Reasoning	50	50	02 hours
2	General Awareness Paper	40	40
3	Quantitative Aptitude	50	50
4	English Language	40	40
5	Computer Knowledge	20	20
	Total	200	200

BOOKS TO BE COVERED

1. Quantitative aptitude- R S Aggarwal, Time study material  etc for theoretical understanding n shortcuts

2. Reasoning- Time study material or R S Aggarwal

4. General awareness- Banking service chronicle magazine and sample papers

5. computer knowledge- Alok kumar or R Pillai and sample papers

Buy a comprehensive guide to IBPS PO by Disha publications for any missed out portions.

HOW TO MANAGE EXAM

The real success and failure lies in how an aspirant manages 1hr of prelims and 2hrs of  mains exam time. This is because HOW YOU MANAGE THE 1+2 HOUR DETERMINE YOUR SUCCESS OR FAILURE BY 50%. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MUCH YOU STUDY IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO WHICH ALL QUESTIONS YOU CHOOSE TO SOLVE AND WHICH YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE. Yes you read it right. You need to be aware which all questions are less time consuming and which all questions take up more time.

Remember you need not do all the questions or questions sequentially. Rather make sure that you clear individual cut offs of each sections and get a good score overall to get to the list.

For this one must remember that sections and how much time should be spent on them

1	Reasoning Ability Paper	35 - solve minimum 20 qns	35- max 23 minutes	01 hour
2	Quantitative Aptitude Paper	35- solve minimum 15 qns	35 -max 23 minutes
3	English Language Paper	30 solve minimum 25 qns	30 -max 12 to 13 minutes
	Total	60 minimum	45-55

In prelims the cut off will bbe between 40 and 50.

Write 5 mock tests before attending the exam to practice managing time.

In mains the split up is

1	Reasoning	50 minimum 26 qns	50- max 40 minutes	02 hours
2	General Awareness Paper	40 minimum 30 qns	40- max 12 minutes
3	Quantitative Aptitude	50 minimum 20 qns	50- max 40 to 45 minutes
4	English Language	40-minimum 30 qns	40- max 16 minutes
5	Computer Knowledge	20 minimum 15 qns	20 max 7 minutes
	Total	overall 121- 145	95-120

If you can follow this mantra in the exam with a decent level of preparation, you will come out in flying colours.

Life at Baroda Manipal school of banking(BMSB), singasandra

 It was a great relief to say the least when i cam to know that i had cracked ibps and was selected into Bank of Baroda. After all it was a long and continuing journey that had showed its first fruits of hard work.

After completing BTech from Viswajyothi college in Kerala in 2011, i had decided to climb the tough uphill journey to crack civil services with little or no idea of how difficult it was to find a government job in a country with a population of 1.2 billion. I had given up my campus placement in Infosys which was secure and well paying to take up path that was full of obstacles. I shifted to delhi where i have been preparing for civils.

So after two years on finally offered my next job,fhew,what a sigh of relief it was to see the appointment letter.

I packed my bags after giving civil service mains exam in December 2014 and reported at Manipal county, Singasandra, Bangalore where my training or PG Diploma in Banking and Finance course was to be completed before joining the bank as a full employee.

The beauty of Banngalore a.k.a the garden city and silicon valley of india was indeed what it was as read and heard about, a green paradise and a very pleasent climate for a person who lived in the extreme temperature of delhi.

I was inducted into the 14th batch of BMSB, i was told,and alloted room 630, my paradise along with Abdoul "Fiverose" my room partner who became one of my best friends there. The campus was lush green, well maintained with a beautiful landscape that gave a great ambiance to the place.

Life in BMSB is a busy schedule that stretches whole day. There is PT in the morning to freshen up. working hours stretch from 9am to 6pm, and then we hope to be free to enjoy your bachelor life for, the early days of your career is always beautiful, full of excitement, independence from parents both personally and financially and what not. But soon you realise that your trainers are going to burst this dream bubble. The life is pretty tight with pre class and post class work, Presentations and what not. It turns out that you have more work in the evenings afterr 6pm  than in working hours.

You are taught A to Z about your bank in BMSB, so that you are a full employee from day one.there are four semesters spreading across a year, of which last term will be in the bank so, its basically 9 months of training. The afterlife ie time after 6pm is not always that dull though. You have many colleagues around you who will work with you for another 35 years, so its a great time for friendship, finding life partners(serious and non serious), enjoying the parties in bangalore both inside and outside the campus i mean, exploring karnataka and tamilnadu if you love travelling and manymore hobbies and activities that you dreamt of doing, since music and dance is always alive in the campus.

My batch also gifted me with many friends that i will long remember. Later i had to resign in April from BMSB as i had qualified for IBPS PO MT 4 and was alloted Indian Overseas Bank which i decided to choose as i was a malayalee and IOB was headquartered in Chennai and has plenty of branches in kerala, Also i needed to continue my quest with civil services, for i had failed the civil service mains yet again.

So the journey continues, I am waiting for my joining in Indian overseas bank, felt pretty much depressed on failing civils again but decided to give it another shot, but on the job though this time, So that i am again insured (which is what it actually is for your parents are always worried about having a job) with another job in my kitty and resumption of my efforts for the exam. I miss all my friends in BMSB including Harish and Whole of 14B, for future aspirants, its a great place to learn banking i must say.

sayanora BMSB you will be there in my memories.
