exams by IBPS. As you can see, the time between prelims and mains exam is less

If a candidate starts the exam preparation of IBPS PO Mains
after the results then he or she will not get enough time to prepare
effectively for the exam. It is advisable to prepare for both the phases
simultaneously. The syllabus of IBPS prelims and mains is very vast. It needs
thorough preparation. In case any of the bank job aspirants is planning to
prepare for IBPS PO 2020 Exam then it is the right time to start the exam
preparation for both the phases i.e. Prelims and Mains.
It is easy to prepare for both the phases of IBPS PO exam
simultaneously because there are common sections. Let us discuss the exam
pattern of both the phases so that it becomes easy for you to plan your exam
preparation for both the phases simultaneously.
Exam Pattern
of IBPS PO 2020 Prelims Exam
The IBPS PO preliminary examination has 3 sections namely
English Language, Numerical Ability and Reasoning Ability. English Section

each. The entire question paper is to be attempted in 60 minutes.
Exam

This section is allotted a total time of 180 for objective
sections from 1 to 4 and 30 minutes for descriptive section i.e 5th
section of mains exam.
There is sectional cut-off for IBPS PO Prelims exam to
qualify for mains exam. Mains exam is again a HARD NUT TO CRACK as it is
lengthy with descriptive exam in English.
English is one of the crucial sections in both the phases
which need lot of practice of grammar rules and writing skills. The syllabus is
same for both the phases therefore one can prepare simultaneously for both the
phases.
Reasoning ability is asked exclusively in prelims where as
it is asked in combination with computer aptitude. The syllabus of Reasoning is
same but one has to prepare for the basic computer application theory which has
lot of topics to be covered. It should be studied right from the beginning.
Data Analysis & Interpretation is not the part of
Prelims exam therefore it also needs proper learning and practice to appear in
the mains. Quantitative Aptitude syllabus is simple and one can prepare it
easily because it does not include advance mathematics topics.
It is advisable to join online test series for IBPS PO exam
besides joining IBPS Coaching Institute. Take full length mock tests for both
Prelims and Mains after completing the entire syllabus effectively. Prelims
phase is easy to qualify if you start early for the exam preparation. IBPS PO
Mains exam is lengthy with five sections needs more learning. Make a balanced
study plan for both the phases right from the day one of your IBPS PO Exam
preparation.
Think positive and keep moving with the exam preparation
with an aim to qualify prelims and reach the mains phase in the first attempt.
All the best!!!
