IBPS RRB PO Exam Analysis and Review: Shift I (September 12, 2020)

Good Attempts for IBPS RRB PO Prelims 2020  

The overall difficulty level estimated was easy to moderate. Any prepared aspirant could easily have a good number of attempts with decent accuracy as well. The table below, however, mentions the average number of reasonable attempts.   

Section-wise Analysis for IBPS RRB PO Prelims 2020  

Reasoning Ability  

The reasoning section was easy compared to the other sections. The section was dominated mainly by puzzles and seating arrangements. Around 25 questions were asked from the mentioned topic. Coding-decoding was the next topic that took the limelight by having been asked five times. Other topics included direction sense, alphabet-based, inequality, number-based, and a day-based miscellaneous question.   

Quantitative Aptitude  

Again, this section was also categorized as easy to moderate. As expected, the section was dominated by data interpretation and arithmetic word problems. The other topics which were asked were quadratic equations, missing number series, and quantity 1 and quantity 2 based inequality. A total of five questions were given for each of these quantitative topics.

Arithmetic Questions  

Q1. A and B together can complete a work in 4 days. An alone takes 6 days less than B alone takes. In how many days c alone completes the work if he is 50% more efficient than B?  

Q2. There are 240 students in class ix, and out of that, 40% appeared in the exam, and in-class x 210 students out of that, 30% appeared in the exam. Then find the difference b/w number of students not appeared in the exam from both classes?  

Conclusion  

The level of paper last year for prelims was easy to moderate, and that can explain why the cut-off for last year was relatively low compared to the previous year in 2019. However, this doesn’t mean one should underestimate the IBPS RRB PO this year. On the contrary, it’s better to prepare for the best as we can never be sure about the difficulty level maintained by any of the examining bodies.
