Reviews of IBPS PO Online Exam held on 27th October 2013 - Evening Shift



Hi Friends,

This is Ajeet a BE Grad in Comp science(1 yr professional exp).

First of all I would like to say that paper was extremely tough. I have given many competitions like JEE, AIEEE, CMAT but was never horrified this much. First I will write subject wise review


I had a plan of time division something like this
GA-15
COMP-4
ENG-21
MATH-43
REASONING-37
as i had read some reviews earlier
Lekin sab planning dhara rah gaya

GA- I started with this section. I had studied well with two magazines PD and BSC and also a banking awareness. but this section also horrified me I did 22 with 100% accuracy. This one was easiest among all 5 but still tougher. If you pick last years 50 questions and attempt them with remembrance of some Italian marines issue and banking awareness you will get more than 24 for sure if you have studied. It took me 16 minutes but I rechecked it once more in 2-3 minutes just to be sure as i had in mind last years cut off then i switched to COMP

COMP- I started with 1-2-3 all blank like Amazon business type and I got frustrated what kind of Computer Engineer I am? I went to 16 then it was ok I did like this 16-20 11-15 then came to 4 to 10 again 2 remained blank. Overall this section was tougher than GA.I might expect around 100% accuracy in this section. Arts students will find it more difficult as there were no straight questions of Computer knowledge as such. till now my timer was showing 95:48 I switched to English.

ENG- I started reading passage 2-3 lines I got tensed then left and searched for those 10 questions of fill in the blanks I did them with then I did Para jumbling but it was very difficult and time taking.I came back to one passage it was economic and quite philosophical I did this in around 12 minutes. for other passage i just did Antonyms and Synonyms as it is easier to get meaning from sentence. I did 29 overall. I expect around 80% accuracy This was tougher than Comp and there were no straight questions and lengthy also. Then i switched to MATH. At this time my timer was 73:20.

MATH- Here comes the BIG destroyer. I thought I would divide around 36 minutes for remaining two sections.I started with q1 It was toughest DI. I started leaving very lengthy questions. 1-2-3-4 all blank I could do 5th question and NEXT I found tough. Then I adopted a strategy of Search and solve. Here comes the more bigger problem because you will see those RED marks which you left. It will create a mental pressure on you. I have never scored less than 75% in any MATH exam be it IIT AIEEE CMAT LICAAO(25/30) or even SBIPO 2013(39 attempt 39 score). But this was a big blow to my belief of knowing maths. I somehow managed 18 with 100% accuracy. Timer was 35:10

REAS- Ye bhi maths ka judwa bhai hi tha. One puzzle was easy but still a mind treasure. I did only one puzzle. Syllogisms were very lengthy and provoking. I did 23 with 100% accuracy. You can do a few more but how can A person control his mind with so many speculative questions of Assumptions and Conclusions around 15 or so. 5-7 ho to theek hai itne saron ko negative marking hote hue attempt karne ke liye JIGRA chahiye. This was only 10% easier than MATHS.

CONCLUSION:- DON'T Panic. CUT OFFS CANNOT BE AS PREVIOUS PAPERS. For this I will provide some BORING but useful stats of my previous exams.

CAUTION:- This exam was not BAAP not DAADA but was PARDAADA of SBI PO.

MY scorecard (SBI) (Category general)  
                  MATH- 39
                  GA- 31
                  ENG- 25
                  REA- 24
                  DISCRI- 30
Overall 149/250. Was short of 2 marks. There were approx 3000s qualified. So I can expect my AIR less than 4000.

LIC AAO 223/300 with no sectional cut off. Short of 3 marks. Total qualified 2250. I can expect my rank less than 3500.

IBPS PO:- Now comes the CALCULATION part.

Total no of candidates in SBI PO and IBPS almost similar around 17 lakhs. Total no of seats in IBPS PO around 20000. Written selections around 60000 anyhow it will be greater than 40000. Ab agar ye MATHS me 24/50 cut off lagate hain to pure Hindustan me 2000 bhi mushkil se milenge. So don't PANIC. If you are sincere enough aur Padhai me sare sections ke sath imandari se pesh aaye ho aur koi bedhbhav nahi kiya hai to you will surely be THROUGH. Just be cool and concentrate on time division b/w sections.

I am hoping my selection as I surely stand under 10000 among banking aspirants in INDIA and predicting CUT OFF marks for you all(These are my personal view). Just forgive me if you don't agree.

MATHS- 14/50
REASONING- 16-18/50
GA- 17-18/40
ENG- 16-17/40
COMP- 7-8/20 
                  
JUST remember that if you have studied well and are still feeling the paper to be extremely tough. To TUM AKELE NAHI HO SABKA YAHI HAAL HOGA. Prepare well and hope for the best.         

Thanks to Ajeet Kumar for such a wonderful and detailed review
