IBPS PO Prelims Analysis- Day 1 (Slot 4)
After going through the analysis of the first three slots, we clearly saw that paper level in all the exams were moderate and was similar to SBI PO Prelims.
As we all know that there are 4 slots in which the exam will be conducted. So, let’s discuss what the last shift of the day brings for the students. Let's see whether the pattern remained the same all day or not?
The paper which was composed of 3 sections, Mathematics, Reasoning and English. The total time is 1 hour, so clearly speed, accuracy and planning was needed to do well in the exam.
The last shift exam was overall was again moderate just like the first three shifts. The English section was moderate but the Reading Comprehension was a bit difficult, Reasoning was moderate but puzzles were tricky and Mathematics section was again moderate and calculative and is the most time consuming section among all.
