This is the reason why one needs to have a well thought-out study plan and strategy to follow on the actual exam day.

STUDY PLAN

Having a plan beside you before starting any kind of preparation, is the first and major step to success. To chalk out a plan you first need to have the required ingredients just as you need them before preparing a dish! To make sure you come out with flying colors and make a delicious end product, you should ensure having all the ingredients in a balanced quantity, not too much and not too less.

You need to mix all the ingredients in a proper way to get a final product which, in this case, will be enjoyed by you the most. In other words, you need to have a recipe for success that has a proper mix of all ingredients, that include good sources of information, proper tips /plan how to start your preparation, how much time to devote to each and every section etc. all in a balanced manner.

To start, you should first be aware with the IBPS Clerk exam pattern and syllabus for each section, so let’s get started!

IBPS CLERK is conducted in two stages- PRELIMS & MAINS.

TOTAL190200160

According to the weightage given to all the sections, it should be clear that one needs to devote equal time to all of them as you need to clear the sectional cut-off for each section along with the total cut-off.

To start with, you need to analyse your weaker and the stronger sections, and allot time in your study plan accordingly.

IBPS CLERK STUDY PLAN FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Until you remove this notion out of your mind, that English is impossible, you will always stay ‘Out of your Mind’!

Unless you get this into your habit, just as brushing your teeth, you are not going anywhere! As soon as you see the morning paper-get hold of it and just start reading. Reading the newspaper, is not only going to improve your English language, but also your knowledge of current affairs! So keep going.

(It highlights your weak points, where you really need to work!)

So, you have to work even more now- Note down the list of marked words WITH their respective meanings. When you keep reading, gradually you will catch up and automatically improve on your reading, writing and vocabulary- BUT that requires consistency for a longer time.

Last but not the least- Get hold of good books, and start practicing language exercises that will give an edge over everyone. You can also test your learning and improve further.

IBPS CLERK STUDY PLAN FOR QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE

IBPS CLERK Quantitative Aptitude

It is another important section in most of the competitive exams. Students with a non-mathematics background may face a bit of difficulty in this section, but it is also one scoring section, where you can find a certain number of approachable questions which an average student may also find easy to attempt. Moreover, it covers mostly 10th level syllabus which almost everyone has studied. What is needed is, some practice which gives you an idea about the difficulty level and also the confidence to attempt any kind of question in the actual exam scenario.

Depending on the exam scenario, you cannot afford to waste even a second there, which means you need to be fully prepared before you enter the exam hall.

The difficulty level of this section also depends majorly on the time taken to solve a particular    question. That’s what you can improve by practice and reduce the time consumed to a great extent.

IBPS CLERK STUDY PLAN FOR REASONING ABILITY AND COMPUTER APTITUDE

Reasoning ability is comparatively a difficult and time-consuming section which requires a lot of understanding and an ability to apply logic as swiftly as possible. This section requires a lot of smart work with hard work. This section is a combination of LOGIC and REASONING ABILITY.

So, you need to sharpen your logic taking help of your natural ability to reason well in the pressurised exam scenario. Some important topics asked in this section are –

– Syllogism

– Coded Inequalities

– Seating Arrangement Puzzles

–  Data Sufficiency

– Input- Output

– Blood Relation

– Order and Ranking

– Alphanumeric Series

– Statement & Assumptions/Cause & Effect

Certain points that you need to keep in mind are-

COMPUTER AWARENESS

Computer Awareness forms a small part of the IBPS PO exam. It is usually asked in the ‘mains’ exam, usually included with the Reasoning section.

The questions that are asked under this section are usually based on the fundamentals, operational knowledge, questions on software and hardware, keyboard shortcuts and other miscellaneous topics. Computer Awareness may prove to be one easy catch and a scoring part as it doesn’t need very technically detailed knowledge to answer the questions in this section. As the name suggests, it tests your basic awareness of computers.
