IBPS PO Mains Exam Analysis 2024
There was a fair distribution of mild questions on the IBPS PO Mains Exam. The purpose of the question paper was to assess conceptual clarity, correctness, and speed. Strong problem-solving abilities were needed for sections like Data Analysis & Interpretation and Reasoning Ability & Computer Aptitude, which were a little difficult. Current affairs and static knowledge were the main topics of the General/Economy/Banking Awareness section. Candidates had to show that they could write well because the descriptive test required them to write essays and letters.
