​1. Understanding IBPS PO 2026 Exam Pattern

​Safalta ki pehli seedhi hai dushman (exam) ko samajhna. IBPS PO teen stages mein hota hai: Prelims, Mains, aur Interview.

• ​Prelims: 60 minutes, 100 marks (Sectional timings lagoo hain).
• ​Mains: Objective + Descriptive test (225 marks).
• ​Interview: 100 marks ka vyaktitv parikshan.

​Pro-Tip: Prelims sirf ek 'Speed Test' hai, jabki Mains 'Concept aur Patience' ka test hai. Dono ki taiyari alag-alag nahi, saath mein karein.




​2. Detailed IBPS PO Syllabus Analysis

​Syllabus ko ratna nahi, use analyze karna seekhein.

• ​Reasoning: Puzzles aur Seating Arrangement ka 50-60% weightage rehta hai.
• ​Quant: Data Interpretation (DI) aur Arithmetic word problems par command banayein.
• ​English: Reading Comprehension (RC) aur Error Detection par focus karein.
• ​General Awareness: Pichle 6 mahine ke banking aur financial current affairs.

​Pro-Tip: Rozana ek English Editorial padhne ki aadat dalein. Ye aapki RC aur Descriptive writing dono ko improve karega.




​3. Best Books for Bank Exams (2026 Edition)

​Market mein hazaro kitabein hain, lekin aapko sirf best chahiye:

• ​Quant: Quantum Cat by Sarvesh Verma ya Fast Track Arithmetic by Rajesh Verma.
• ​Reasoning: A Modern Approach to Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning by R.S. Aggarwal.
• ​English: Word Power Made Easy (Norman Lewis) aur Wren & Martin.
• ​Banking Awareness: Arihant's Banking Awareness.

​4. Phase-wise Preparation Strategy

​Aapko apni taiyari ko teen phases mein baatna chahiye:

1. ​Foundation Phase (Month 1-4): Saare concepts clear karein. Shortcuts ke peeche na bhagein, pehle basic seekhein.
2. ​Practice Phase (Month 5-8): Sectional tests aur quizes lagayein. Speed badhane par kaam karein.
3. ​Mains Focus Phase (Month 9-12): High-level puzzles aur DI solve karein. Rozana current affairs padhein.

​Pro-Tip: Ek notebook banayein jise hum 'Error Log' kehte hain. Har wo galti jo aap mock test mein karte hain, usme darj karein.




​5. Mock Test Strategy: Turning Errors into Marks

​Mock test dena kafi nahi hai, uska Post-Mortem karna zaroori hai.

• ​Mock test ke baad 2 ghante sirf analysis ko dein.
• ​Dekhein ki kaun se sawal galat hue aur kyun (Silly mistake ya Concept gap?).
• ​Unhe dobara solve karein bina solution dekhe.
