Exam Structure and Key Phases
The IBPS RRB exam is conducted in multiple stages depending on the post applied for (Officer Scale I, II, III, and Office Assistant). The process generally involves:
1. Preliminary Examination (for Scale-I and Office Assistant)
This is the first screening round. It consists of two sections: Reasoning and Numerical Ability. Candidates need to clear both sectional and overall cut-offs to qualify for the next stage.
Tips for Preliminary Exam Preparation:
- Time Management: Allocate fixed time for each section during practice.
- Accuracy over Speed: Initially focus on solving questions correctly; speed develops with practice.
- Mock Tests: Attempt full-length mock tests to simulate the exam environment.
2. Main Examination (for Scale-I, Scale-II, Scale-III, and Office Assistant)
The Main Exam is more comprehensive. For Officers, it includes sections like General Awareness, Reasoning, English/Hindi, Quantitative Aptitude, and Computer Knowledge. The Office Assistant Mains focuses on Reasoning, Numerical Ability, General Awareness, English/Hindi, and Computer Knowledge.
3. Interview and Document Verification (for Officer Scale-II and III)
Candidates who clear the Main Exam (and for Scale-I, the Mains exam) will be called for an interview. This assesses communication skills, confidence, and banking knowledge. Final selection is based on the combined score of the Main Exam and Interview.
