Preparation Tips Based on the Syllabus

  • Time allocation: Since General/Economy/Banking awareness has highest weight (50 marks), allocate significant time to that.

  • Mock tests: Practise full-length timed tests with sectional time limits as per the pattern to build speed & stamina.

  • Current affairs: For banking & economy awareness, keep updated with last 6–12 months’ major developments (budgets, policies, bank mergers).

  • Data interpretation: Since two sections cover this area (Quant & Data), regularly visualise graphs/charts and interpret quickly.

  • Computer aptitude: Many candidates may underestimate this—basic knowledge and keyboard shortcuts are likely sufficient; don’t ignore.

  • English: Building vocabulary + grammar + reading comprehension is key; practise para‐jumbles and cloze tests.

  • Revision: Maintain revision notes especially for banking terminologies, abbreviations, policy changes — these often appear in awareness section.

  • Sectional strategy: Be mindful of sectional time limits (e.g., English only 25 mins) so that you don’t lag in one section and lose time for others.
