Can I Prepare for SSC and Banking, Both?

Dear Readers,

When preparing for a government job exam, many students are perplexed with many questions in their mind. One question that many students wonder about is that- Can they prepare for both SSC as well as Bank exams? There is no definite yes or no to this question. Due to delay in results of SSC exams, students who only want to get a government job, whatsoever it may be, tend to prepare for bank exams also. It is you who has to decide whether you are capable of preparing for both exams. It will take serious dedication from your part to simultaneously prepare for bank and SSC exams.

If you aspire to prepare for both the exams then the most basic requirement is to know about the pattern of both the exams and the type of questions asked in the exam. First of all, compare the syllabus of both exams and prepare the topics which are common in both exams. Also, have a look on the previous year cutoffs and practice 2-3 mocks to know your level of preparations for both the exams then work upon the topics you are weak at.

If you prepare for SSC exams and if you want to prepare for bank exams too then you need to work on two subjects most importantly, English and Reasoning. The level of English and Reasoning in bank exams is very high. You have to prepare according to the type of questions that are asked in both exams.

Also, to prepare for quantitative aptitude, you must practice the topics which are common for both exams and then move towards other topics. The General Awareness syllabus for both exams is also quite different so prepare this section according to the syllabus. General Awareness section in bank exams focuses more on financial awareness while the GA section of SSC CGL exams largely covers Static GK topics along with a few questions on Current Affairs. Static GK includes topics like History, Geography, Polity, General Science & Technology, Environment, Sports etc. and also some questions from the current affairs. The syllabus for this portion is, obviously, very huge so you have to prepare this section seriously.
