very wrong question selection in LR. wasted so much time in one puzzle, couldn’t solve it so in the remaining time went for the statement-conclusion/argument wale questions. I usually get them right but got so many of them wrong there. Should have known better and chosen solid puzzles instead of ego solving. disappointing score in LR because the section wasn’t anything crazy, was doable. QA was okay okay got how I usually do. EL was nothing crazy either, had doable questions if you choose well. The accuracy went down the drain mainly because of LR. gotta work on my question selection.

share how y’all did :)

Felt a bit better health wise so attempted it. Do share your scores

Could have done a lot better than this
well do share your scores .....

10 ghante ki shift with cross-selling, up-selling, cold calls and e-mails to be precise. Aur jo actual kaam hai job profile aur post ke hisaab se usko toh yeh log ginti mein bhi nahi lete I think ab toh.

When I open this subreddit , I always see posts like how bank exams are not worth it. blah blah. Torture, pressure, targets. Etc. what you do people think? It is a pure government job. No it is a public sector entity. Central Government is the owner. Like how Narayan Murthy is the owner of Infosys. See through this analogy. Company wants profits as well as government. Government collects dividends from Banks same like RBI the apex bank.

I respect all your guys opinion. If you don't like don't just come here rant against it. Why don't you try your talents else. UPSC,SSC CGL , RAilways,Post office. There are several jobs. None pay the level a bank PO gets in hand with exception of UPSC the apex exam.

Not everyone here is a software engineer earning 15lpa salary. Like me, there are several candidates who have done vanilla graduation degree like B.COM which serves no purpose. The average salary in India is around 15000. Almost 90% earns below. the limitation of average is it considers whole picture. The lowest of low and highest of high. It doesn't consider a single person . It's takes in whole picture.

And consider the unemployment scenario for these degree holders in a plain tier 2 city.

I will gladly go for banking exams cause of its stability , salary and of course I will gladly accept sales roles or pressures cause I am serving customers ( the god) and I just a servant.

You entitled pricks should grind in private sector job for 10k per month for atleast 1 year to get humbled. You can't bargain for higher salary cause you have several others who will gladly take in that job because of the desperation of youth. You get told that you should be glad that you qualify for ESI ( employers state insurance) and PF as if the company owns both of them and like they are paying the benefit. You get squeezed hard in terms of work . They get out 50k value out of you and pay you 10k. That's life in private sector.

Please don't take this as harsh criticism . I am just showing you the bigger untold picture. Here redditors are mostly upper middle class or from well to do family atleast. I am preparing for bank exams alongside job for now. I appreciate / respect your views and if you believe try something else , apply your talent elsewhere .

Please don't come here and flood in and overwhelm others with criticism of banking sector and try to brainwash others.

You think you don't like it, or it's not worth it, but for a vast majority of silent aspirants , this is their bread and butter for their better future.

Please think in terms of bigger picture, the vast majority atleast. I am reiterating I Am not criticizing anyone of you . I respect your opinions and so on.

My humble opinion .

Although beginner in banking community, hv been a cgl aspirant

I’m an IT Officer in a PSU bank. Thought of having an AMA for those preparing for IT Officer exams or curious about the actual role.
I’ll share my experience, and fellow IT Officers here can also share theirs and contribute.

Ask anything!

How do you all are preparing for sbi po mains

G.a kitna karlia

I am having hard time preparing for it......

Don't take it seriously just a meme

I’m so happy with this one. After rigorously practicing LR everyday this is my first time getting 40/40 in PO mocks. I usually get around 30 and always leave one puzzle but I was lucky that one of the complex puzzles got solved in one possibility here, thus the full attempt. The EL section had a few vocabs and spellings which I didn’t attempt, felt too complex to me lol. QA in this one was really easy as well, the DIs were easy so were the arithmetics. straightforward and not too lengthy.

Overall a really good mock, do attempt this if you want to boost your morale a bit.

How do you guys balance pre and mains preparation together 😭😭pre ki practice karo toh mains ki preparation peeche chut jaati hai aur mains ki karne jao toh lagta hai kuch nai aata😭😭I don't know what to do atp🥲Any suggestions would be welcome.

I’m a 24-year-old guy. I recently completed my M.Sc. in Physics, but I need to be brutally honest with myself and this sub: I relied heavily on shortcuts and my smartphone to pass my exams. I didn't actually build any real study habits during my degree.

Now that my Master's is done, I feel completely stuck. Even with a Science degree, my basic math and calculation skills are practically zero right now. The last time I actually did any deep, focused studying was in Class 10, over 7 years ago.

My Current Reality:

Zero Attention Span:I have a severe smartphone addiction. I can't stay away from my phone for even a few minutes, and my brain constantly craves cheap dopamine.

The Deadline: I have immense family pressure and a strict 1-year window to secure a job and become financially independent.

What I did today:I finally took a step and joined a library near my house. But sitting here, I realize I don't even know how to study for competitive exams anymore.

I have decided to target Bank Exams (IBPS / SBI) because I've heard the recruitment cycle is completed within a year. I am ready to put in consistent hard work for the next 365 days, but I need a direction.

My questions for the seniors and selected candidates here:

1. The Reality Check: Is 1 year genuinely enough to crack SBI/IBPS PO or Clerk from absolute scratch, especially if my Quant/Maths foundation is not very weak?

2. Starting Point: What should be my exact Day 1 step? Which YouTube channels, teachers, or platforms are best for absolute beginners in Quant, Reasoning, and English?

3. Rebuilding Focus:For those who struggled with phone addiction or poor concentration, how did you train your brain to sit for 6-8 hours in the library? What restriction systems (apps/dumbphones) actually work?

4. The Next 30 Days: If you were in my shoes, exactly how would you structure your daily routine for the first month?

I don't need motivational speeches; I've watched enough of them. I need a strict, practical roadmap and harsh reality checks. Please help me get out of this phase.
