What to Study?



Reasoning: For reasoning you need to study hard cause reasoning standard will be tough according to the recent trends of the banking examinations. You need to focus on tough puzzles and confusing seating arrangement questions. Reasoning might contain toughest Input-Output problems which can make you confused and take away your confidence. But don’t worry, practice makes a man perfect. So practice the toughest one you can imagine and you will be successful.


Reasoning can easily be the highest scoring section if you grab the basics of it first. So just learn the basics properly then move on to the tougher levels.


There is Negative Marking present so be very careful, because you might think you are sure but actually it is wrong. Reasoning is very confusing sometimes that is why you need to focus a lot.




English: English sometimes can seem to be tough but actually its all the same. People who has the in depth knowledge about Grammar of English can easily figure out what to do. English can be moderate to semi-tough level because you can never predict what is coming. However, it completely depends on person to person as many have a solid grip while other get nervous often.


For NIA AO exam you need to focus on Cloze Test, Spotting the errors and Sentence Rearrangements. The passage can be expected easier than SBI PO but similar to IBPS PO. So just brush up grammar and you will be prepared for the english language section.




Quantitative Aptitude: Quantitative Aptitude or Mathematics as we know it can be the worst case scenario in many examinations. Hence you need to practice and practice as much as you can so that you get a good grip on time management in the examination hall.


For this particular examination we predict the quantitative aptitude section can be a bit too lengthy and filled with tricky questions. There will be some sort of easy but lengthy Data Interpretation which will only take time to solve. So we recommend, do the basic Data Interpretation and make sure you are doing it in the fastest and the easiest way. 


Other than Data Interpretation, normal mathematical problems are expected to be much easier. So if you have cleared the basic ways to do those sums you can easily start practicing on time management.




General Awareness: General Awareness is and always will be changing. Just read our daily bits Current Affairs and make a notebook on them. Write down whatever you are reading. It will also have Stock GK, so read our Ultimate GK PDF. GA will also contain Insurance Awareness.

People who will be going for specialist will have to do everything same except for their specialized subject they need to study as in-depth as possible. Because the questions are expected to be very tricky and from the most inside part of your knowledge.
