for the civil services and UPSC aspirants as well. SBI has reported 2000 vacancies this year and also
brought some pattern change in the recruitment process by including Preliminary Exam. With this
change in the process many students sent their queries asking like Paper kaisa hoga, Kya kya
aayega, Prelims ke liye kitna padhna padega .

a) Reasoning ability :
Reasoning has always been the difficult section in SBI exam. But Being the preliminary exam, we can
expect that the difficulty level of SBI exam will be moderate and will include many important topics. We
are providing the details in the following table :

b) Quantitative Aptitude :
Quantitative aptitude used to be
the toughest part because it
included both time taking and
calculative part and most of the
questions was from Data
interpretation and analysis. But in the preliminary section, we can hope questions from all the topics as

cover for Prelim exam.

considered to be one of the

details are as follows :

2. Mains Examination
Now lets talk about the most
important part of the whole
recruitment process i.e. the Mains
examinations. This part will need
more effort and time management
skills. With the most of the reported instances, we can say that if you mange to do it in time, then you
will be having an advantage over others. There is no hard and fast rule that you need to follow. I am
showing you an example to divide your time that most of our readers can follow or you can make your
own time division analysis :

This Division of time helped a lot

of students to clear their
examination and get through all
the recruitment processes of IBPS,
RBI, NABARD, LIC, NIACL, NICL,
GIC, etc. Now if you are thinking
about number of questions to be
attempted in the examination, then
let it be clear that you need to
attempt as many as possible and
all the attempted questions should
be correct and no need to go for any Tukka because that Tukka can make a difference between your
marks and cut-off marks.
Now coming to the bifurcation of the questions from the mains exam, we would be providing you the
detailed division that will definitely make your way towards clearing the exam.
Mains Exam will include the following subjects and topics :

a) Reasoning (High Level)

b) Data Interpretation and Analysis

c) General Awareness, Marketing, Computers

d) English Language

This will be the real deal in the whole process and the topicwise details are as follows :

a) Reasoning (High Level) :

This is one the important section where numbers can be scored easily and one can devote a good
amount of time to to score in this section. Speculations are clear about this sections as it will be
unchanged and will follow the old pattern and the topics are mentioned below :

b) Data Interpretation and

Analysis
This is the most hated part of the
paper and most of the students
are scared with this part. They
attempt this section to clear the
individual cut-off. No one thinks of
getting more marks in this section
because it can be dangerous to deal with, in the paper. Following is the topicwise break up of this
section :

c) General Awareness,
Marketing, Computers
Now Coming to this part, we can
only say that capsule provided by

and till the time you can prepare from daily quizzes on Bankers Adda. This section is the one that
anyone can easily score and following are the detailed topicwise bifurcation :

one can concentrate on certain
topics, then marks can be scored
easily. However one should not go
for guess work coz it is always
suicidal in nature. Following is the
bifurcation of the topics covered in
English section :

3. Descriptive Test :
This part is the one that most of
the readers are curious about and
wanted to know whether it will be
