*Strategy to tackle IBPS Clerk mains:-*

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

Time and again I have emphasized the importance of GA in the final selection. If anybody wants to beat this ongoing cut throat completion and wants to secure a berth for himself / herself then he has no option but to score healthy in GA and Computer (which is now merged with reasoning) section.

*Let's talk about sectionally:-*
Reasoning / computer- It was used to be a hunky- dory section for many but since last year, it has taken an ugli turn and therefore now it's a big challenge even to score in double figures.

*What to do:-*

*1) Logical section:-* whatever may be the pattern or difficulty level in mains, IBPS is going to field atleast 10 questions from this section which are doable and therefore it becomes imperative to practice well from M K Pandey book where there is a separate chapter on this.

*2) Decision Making:-* It was forgotten in recent years but it's possibility of coming in the exam is very high and a bit of careful analysis can fetch you 3-4 marks so practice it.

*3) Syllogism:-* Although IBPS has modified the way of asking it in the last 2-3 years but basic remains the same. It surprised everybody last year with reversing the pattern but still those whose basics were right ultimately managed to do it so prepare for it.

*4) coding - decoding :-* I think everybody is well aware about different patterns of asking coding - decoding so it's advisable to spend some time on it if it comes in the exam because one you understand the pattern, you are going to get 4-5 marks which will worth million dollar.

*5) Puzzles:-* It gives hard time in mains because of 3-4 variables with a lot of complexities. But unlike other questions whose probability of coming in the exam is always in doubt, puzzles are bound to come in 20-25 in numbers and therefore only rigorous practice and help you out immensely. But before going to puzzles, Do other questions as I suggested above.

*6) Input & Output:-* Although it doesn't come in clerical exams but considering the unpredictability of IBPS, you can't ignore that so it's better to go with practice.

*7) Miscellaneous:-* It's getting hard to solve in mains. Even they make direction or blood relation questions like puzzles.

*Computer:-* IBPS has followed SBI therefore considering the time they have fixed for this particular section, I don't think you people are going to get computer questions as it used to come previously so your focus should be primarily based on Reasoning.

*English:-* It is like opening up of Pandora's box for many of you. I have no doubt to say that out of 40 questions, you are going to get 15 from comprehension which either contain synonyms and antonyms or they may ask it separately. So in other word, you will get 25 questions related to vocabulary section and the rest can be from new pattern find error, paragraph filler, sentence arrangement etc. Therefore, I advise you all to practice comprehension based questions from any comprehension book for better understanding in the remaining days. They will ask passage on economy and it's going to be lengthy.

*Probable questions:-*

1) Passage:- 15 questions (4- 5 questions from synonyms & antonyms)
2) close test:- 5 questions New pattern
3) phrasal verb replacement- 6-8 Questions
4) Double filler with single word:- 5- 8 Questions
5) sentence arrangement:- 5-6 questions

Now you can practice these questions from daily quizzes and mock tests.

*Quant:-* Unlike IBPO Mains, this section remains status quo and still called Quantitative Aptitude but no of questions have now been raised to 50 so the probable questions are as follows:-

{1) Data interpretation:- 20 Questions (5 questions may come on missing DI)
2) Number Series:- 5 Questions (Odd one out)
3) Quadratic Equation/ Approximation:- 5 Questions
4) Data Sufficiency:- 5 questions
5) Miscellaneous:- 5 Questions.}

Unlike SBI, IBPS has not adopted DI based on word problem and therefore it will be based on percentage, Average and Ratio & Proportions so it will be your scoring zone. The rest you can do as per your strength.

*GA:-* In the virtual absence of computer now GA is the main source of scoring.

*What to do :-*

*1) Mock test revision :-* I advise you all to revise GA questions of whatever the mock test you prefer 2-3 times before the examination because it is very vital from exam point of view.

*2) Revise GK today's daily* ten questions quiz for the last 4-5 months because I have seen straight questions coming in the exam from it.

*3) Revise affairs cloud* monthly GA quiz which has 100-170 questions / every month.

*4) Adda capsule/ grade up tornado:-* If you do the abovementined exercise meticulously then I am sure you have the answers of more than 80-85% of questions of these capsules and then your task becomes very easy. By following it I could manage to revise whole tornado in 3-4 hours.

*Static/ Banking :-* Never worried about this because how much you may prepare there will be around 8-10 questions which you can't solve so go for the remaining 30-32 and I am sure you can get optimum marks. Last year they asked about Burmuda triangle and Robot bank etc which I had no idea in spite of reading everything from every possible source.

*Government schemes:-* It is very important and almost 5-10 questions will be asked from here so go through various government schemes that have been launched recently or which are in news for various reasons.

*Note:-* I request you all not to live in any illusion that it's a clerk paper and therefore it's level is going to be much below to IBPS PO mains. Last year, IBPS clerk mains paper outwitted PO mains in terms of difficulty level so prepare for the worst in the remaining days.

*I hope this post is helpful for you all*

Thank You 🙏🏻🙏🏻
