Hey Puys, I am currently working in pvt sector, it becomes really difficult to manage office and studies together. How you are balancing Office work load and the preparations?

How many rough sheets are provided in the exam? Is there a limit ?

No objective sample papers for ESI and Optional subjects by RBI. Highly Unpredictable exam this time.What the hell they want to check by just providing 14 days between Phase 1 and phase 2

What was the cut off last year to qualify phase I?

Is Preper Learnyst good to subscribe for?

Those who have subscribed plz throw some light....

Thanks in Advance

Hi guys, who among you are planning to apply for Assistant Manager post in National Housing Bank? What are your motivations to apply for it? (Apart from being jobless, if that is the case).

plzz suggest me reference book for Phase 2 finance and management subject.......

hi..how are mahendras test series for phase 1 ?

I am just able to score between 30-40 even though i have read the entire six months GA portion. I really don't understand from where should i study now?? Any help how should i improve in GA section....




Puys, plz visit this link, I hope u ppl will have an overlook, plz comment is it worth reading for RBI phase-1 GA section?

http://www.bankexamstoday.com/2015/10/ibps-po-mains-banking-awareness-guide.html

I thinking talking about last years' cutoffs doesn't make sense. Last year it was 103, lat to last year it was 126. Who knows what will be this year. GA is too dicey. Quant, reasoning and English are still somewhat concept based. I mean if we can do these sections with about 70-80 questions, we can easily clear cutoffs. That is my strategy. Please share yours.

MY STRATEGY IS TO MAXIMIZE MY MARKS IN QUANT, REASONING AND ENGLISH (WITH 95% ACCURACY) GETTING AROUND 65-75 MARKS AND MAKE EDUCATED GUESSES IN GA WHICH GIVES ME 40-45 MARKS. THUS, A TOTAL OF 120 MARKS I AIM AT AND GET AROUND 110 IN VARIOUS MOCKS.
