it was beyond expectation
sirji good spirit
Yes i agree that private sectors jobs are lil hectic … less time for family … continuous shifts….. though they pay you high but the work pressure ….hence i was trying for PO …. for sure thats a better option ….. i am quite satisfied with this job as well hence i took it light…..but yes in future if you ask me PO or this job… my answer would be PO …….
hello frnd
meri kahani to kuch or hi h…..jab maine objective paper diya tab 20 student the class me….per jab descriptive dene baitha to sare copy band ker k baithe the or mai akela likhe jarha tha….phr bhaiyo ko dhekh ker maine bhi exam chod diya……..corruption yaha bhi pahuch gya h….last umeed thi job ki ab to gang men k liye hi apply karunga…..IBPS PO apne kam ki nhi h….

IBPS PO EXAM 10 LAKH LOGO NE DIYA HAI. KAM SE KAM 1 LAKH PASS HO JAYEGE. WAISE BHI VACANCY 4000 SE 5000 HI AAYEGI. 95000 WAISE BHI BAHAR HO JAYEGE.
MUJHE TO YE SAMAJH ME NAHI AA RAHA HAI JAB BANKS 1 SAAL ME VACANCY NIKALTI HAI FIR YE EXAM SIX MONTH ME KYO.
AB TO RRB (GRAMIN BANK) KA HI BHAROSA HAI.

guys want to knw how many of you think that coaching would be the sole option to clear these exams….. or just hard core practice at home would do ……How many of you have taken coaching and still think that the paper was real tough???
i want to say is that i m not workin only going n facing banks exam…english = 40 mks made…gk n comp =35 made but quant n reasonin= i dont know kya kia….seatin arrangment ne toh dimaag hi kharab kr dia…itne kam samay mein aise tede medhe ? banna mushkil hain…bhot prepration zaroorat hain…ab kya bolu plzzzzz muzhe lelo sir ji…i m not working…ye secure job mujhe dedo….
Horrible question paper,no tym to solve aptitude,reasoning was bit tricky
hahaha….thoda daya krna chahiye km se kam paise mein paise mein 100 theek hain….job chhod chuki hu jo v account mein hain usi se bharrongi form …poore paise khatm ho jaayenge form bharte ,…50 ya 100 theek hain…
So what should be the strategy now to crack the next IBPS Bank PO Exam.MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION, IS’NT IT?
Jaz you need to do both the things simultaneously.Not just that you also have to pray to the almighty to ensure that the paper is not as tough as it was on sunday.In my opinion there are three difficulty levels of any exam.Easy, normal and hard the exam that we gave on that black day was beyond hard which is precisely the reason why there is so much of hue and cry over it.But these students’ uproar is justified as it was the toughest paper ever made in the history of banking industry in India
The IBPS xam was little bit tough guys….it juz needed proper time management towards the various sections….don’t worry…
I attempted..
35 in QA
36 in Reasoning
45 in Comp
40 in Eng
42 in GA
I think my attempt was not that bad where every body has messed up.. :)
ya i agree with you….. but my only concern here is that do we really require a coaching??? coz i heard that without coaching these exmz are lil difficult to handle… however i just practice at home and i thot it was not so hard to crack it if we practice at home… exception is the exam for this sunday.. so now i m confused for next IBPS do i really opt for coaching …..????????//
Great!!!! U are Exceptional, Pls let me know the strategy to prepare for the next PO exam.
if that is your attempt …thumbs up for you ….. i cudnt solve 15 in QA and reasoning…. so hats off if you really did those…. may be you did practice a lot… :)))))
You must coz they can guide you on those things which you may not be able to do all by yourself.For an example they will tell you the short cut methods of doing calculations which is really handy as this exam demands time management.Also there are certain parts of reasoning and Maths which do require coaching.However there are exceptions as well some people can clear it without coaching as well but that demands utter dedication. But Frankly i would suggest you to join coaching. It will never go waste.
@vimal ,vacacies will be more than 20k ,because three to six thousands vacancies would carry forward from ibps 1,and number of ppl retiring is higher in 12-13 + idbi bank wil be recruiting in large number………
yes…. ik reason ye bhi hai that we take it for granted if we study at home…. coaching is a kinda of company with others help you learn easily…. so i think i would do a coaching this time and hope the nxt PO is not as tough: as the held on sunday….::))))))
Guru ji aapne to gajab kar diya Quant me 35 aur reasoning me 36 attemt kar k.I found quant extremly time consuming and i was able to do correct 12 question and lappa all marked as 3 for 30 question.
Mr Ganapathy can you please throw some more light on the number of vacancies of bank PO in Public sector banks as i have been trying to get this info but in vain.I have heard that there are tremendous amount of bank po jobs. I sit true? and if yes then approximately how many?
there is no need for coachng, consistent hard work needed for it…. Coaching institute restrict us to learn their material only, i was able to solve 45 ques total in both reas and qa, i dont knw what would happen….
do not worry, there are plenty of jobs as a bank po and if you work as hard as did this time you will clear it as the next exam will be pretty moderate.I am sure even people from IBPS are aware of the uproar that has occurred in the last 2 days so they would reduce the toughness of the paper the next time. Believe me u will clear it
@Yash46.
Once the result will be out then we’ll see what ur scores be.
Attempts don’t matter accuracy matters the most.If u r accurate too, then u r topper boss. RBI governor n IBPS chief may come to receive u as they r also not expecting such a brilliant performance in that alien world paper……………………..;-D ;) ;P
I know few guys with attempts over 210 bt there score will be as low as anybody’s. If anybody on the blog has net score of 110 correct questions with 12 net right questions in each sections;he’ll be through. But so many people made a mess of Sunday’s paper by not attempting descriptive part seriously.
paper was really very tough
Does anyone know how to contact the head of IBPS??????????????????
@sunny Acutally banks require l to 2 lakh vacaanies to be filled. but RBI setup khandiwala committee for working hours ,wages and all ,i spoke a boi manager he told me they hav huge number of vacancies and thier director has proposed to rbi, but as per khandiwala committee 4:1 ratio of 4 Class one officers to clerk in new branch operation (expansion) ,it has been opposed by Banks association ….. Hence there is limit on recruiting currently because of deadlock
Thanks a lot sir.Ganapatti Bappa Morreyya(just kidding (:::
The level of paper was beyond my expectation last time i was cleared in objective fail in descriptive with 2 marks only ..this tme after a lot preparation i am gonna to fail in myall time favourite subject Maths….who set the paper????….The maths porion was so tough and calculative..even i was able to attempt not more than 26 in QA…God please kuch karo…
