Last Minute Tips for IBPS SO Mains Exam 2018
- Only the Agricultural Officer posts has the highest number of vacancies when compared to the others and since this is the first time , the exam pattern has been changed and also only professional knowledge questions are there in the Mains exam, this exam gains more importance than the other exams.
- Only the Rajabhasha Adhikari – Mains Exam has the Descriptive paper and all the other posts have only Professional knowledge questions. The Descriptive paper for the Rajabhasha Adhikar is for 30 minutes. So you have to type fast , since the total time for the whole exam is only 60 minutes and the time to attend the professional knowledge questions is 30 minutes.
- All the other posts like HR/ Personnel Officer , marketing Officer, Agricultural officer , IT Officer and Law officer have only 45 minutes in total and have 60 questions to attend. So candidates have to be fast in attending the questions as there are more questions to attend in less time.
- As said this is the first time, the mains exam has been conducted in this manner and we can only say the level of questions and the topics from which the questions are asked and the exact number of questions from each segments after the exam.
- Apart from , all these exam factors , there are some other things which are very important to note before going for the exam. A calm and composed mind is required to write the exam in a good way. Even a small disturbance can collapse the entire exam preparation, so don’t get tensed during or before the exam.
- Attend the questions which are easier, since the questions are from professional knowledge, the probability of selecting a answer is very wide and there are only two options ( either you know the answer , or you don’t know the answer) , since there are no calculations involved for most of the questions. So the arrow is in your hand and you have to strike it in the center.
- Don’t get stranded in a question because you have less time to attend more number of questions. As we always say, attend maximum number of questions with great accuracy.
- Take printouts of the Admit Card / Call Letter of the IBPS SO Mains exam 2018 and also the necessary photocopies of the documents required and to be more specific go to the exam center on time and that is more important than anything else. These days , rough sheets were not provided for the IBPS CLERK MAINS EXAM and we don’t know what surprise IBPS has for the IBPS SO Mains exam 2017. So be ready for everything.
