General Awareness (with special reference to Banking)

IBPS has been on course with changes to its examination structure and pattern much in line with SBI.

Like the previous year it has continued with its approach of conducting a 2 – Tier Objective online examination.

The major especially in the Mains Examinations has been the allotment of Time Limits for different Sections.

NAME OF SUBJECT	NO. OF QUESTIONS	MAX MARKS	TIME ALLOTTED
General Awareness (with special reference to Banking)	40	40	25 MINUTES

In respect to the General Awareness section, the structure is as follows –

If we discuss about how to go about the General Awareness Section, it has been divided into 3 sections (as per latest trend) –

· Banking Awareness

· Current Events

· Static G.K.

As per the recent examinations, keeping in mind the latest pattern – the examiner has shifted its focus more onto the current events and current based static g.k. with fewer questions from the banking section.

The Picture is clearer for the clerical examinations as it has focused primarily on current events and Banking Basics.
