moderate and was similar to SBI PO Prelims.

So, let’s discuss what the Second Day Shift I brings for the students. Let's see whether the pattern remained

the same 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 first shift exam was overall was moderate. The English section was moderate but the Reading
Comprehension

was a bit difficult, Reasoning was overall easy but puzzles were tricky and Mathematics section was again

moderate and calculative and is the most time consuming section among all.
