SBI PO MAINS 2015: The Analysis

Dear Readers,

The D-Day has arrived. Today, the first SBI PO MAINS 2015 was conducted all over India in different centres. It comprised of 200 questions with 4 sections and was followed by a descriptive paper. So what are we waiting for, let’s discuss the pattern in detail.

The detailed break-down of the paper is as follows:

	Total Questions	Good Attempts	Level of difficulty	Approximate time taken
Reasoning Ability
General Awareness/ Computer/ Marketing
Data Analysis and Interpretation
English Language

 Section-Wise Analysis

Reasoning Ability

Questions from Course of Action, Cause and Effect, Data Sufficiency, Statement and Argument, Higher Reasoning, Input & output, Comparison of rank, Syllogism, Puzzles, all formed a part of this section. Puzzles were difficult, Input/Output was also difficult but Syllogism was doable, Critical Reasoning was easy. The overall difficulty level of this section was moderate.

General Awareness/Computer/Marketing

This section consisted of questions from Static G.K. (Banking), Current Affairs, Computer Awareness and Marketing. The Questions were mainly from the current happening of 3-4 months but also included some static questions. The Marketing questions were analytical and the computer part was doable. Overall this section was easy.

Data Analysis and Interpretation

This section was heavily dominated by the questions revolving around percentages. Questions from Line Graph, Bar Graph, Pie Chart and Table were asked in this section. Questions from Quadratic Equations were there. As compared to the last year’s SBI PO Exam, this section was lengthier and more difficult.

English Language

Overall this was moderate. The section comprised of questions based on Antonyms/Synonyms, Error Spotting, Reading Comprehension, FIB (2 blanks), Para-jumbles and Cloze test. The difficulty level of the Reading Comprehensions was difficult to moderate.  The 10 blanks cloze test was a tad bit difficult. The difficulty level of Error spotting, FIB and Para jumbles was easy to moderate.

Part B- Descriptive paper:

The Descriptive paper includes just two questions, one was Letter Writing & the other was Essay Writing. It was mainly based on the current happenings of the world. The descriptive paper was a real test for the students as they have to type their answers.

So overall it was a great but tough experience for the students, as this will help them to prepare very well in the upcoming Banking Entrances.
