IBPS PO Prelims Analysis- Day 1 (Slot 3)
After going through the analysis of the first half, we clearly saw that paper level in both 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 afternoon and evening shifts bring for the students. Is there is any change in the pattern as compare to morning shifts 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 third shift exam was overall was moderate just like the first two 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.
