2nd Shift: SOHA
Well, to start with, there is nothing to be nervous about, the shifts are not at all like SBI PO Preli. So you can keep your calm, & have a tête-à-tête with IBPS Po Preli.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE –
As I always start with EL, the questions here took me by surprise. As there were no fillers, which are generally scoring for many students, and the RC (effect of Globalisation in economy) was quite tough. It may take a little while to comprehend fully, & a helpful suggestion would be – Don’t attempt RC if you’re not 100% sure, there was NO VOCABULARY Related Questions. The Parajumble (about Pollution) was doable, and the Cloze Test – Moderate to Tough. Error Correction – Seemed tough to me.
Attempted – 20
QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE –
- The EL had set the bar up so high, that QA & LR came as a relief.
- DI – Easy Cheesy ( Table about Valid Invalid Votes, Graph)
- Approximation – Easy
- Series – Easy
- Quadratic Equations & Other Questions – Didn’t attempt, but if you’ve given EdKraft Mocks, those’ll surely seem easy to you.
Attempted – 20
LOGICAL REASONING –
- Good news. Syllogism was there! So 5 marks there, inevitably.
- Inequalities – A tad bit tougher than usual. But doable.
- Direction Test – Easy
- Relationship – Easy
- Sequence – Arrangement of Wires according to length
- Sitting Arrangement 1 (North South) – Doable
- There was another Floor Puzzle & another Circular Sitting Arrangement I think which I didn’t attempt.
Attempted – 22
Total – 62
Like last year, the Preli can’t be considered as ‘Easy’, and also it didn’t come as a shock as Sbi Po Preli did, it can be considered as Moderate. So Goodluck fellas :’) Give your Best shot.
AND CHOOSE WISELY.
