How to set up an IBPS PO test series for your coaching institute
Short answer: IBPS PO starts with an online objective preliminary examination. Because section counts, timings and penalties are set in each year's notification, read the current IBPS notice and enter its sections, sectional timers and negative marking into your test pattern before building mocks.
IBPS PO is a multi-stage recruitment process with an online preliminary examination. Build your mocks on the current IBPS notification rather than a remembered pattern.
Build mocks from the notification
IBPS publishes the scheme in its detailed notification for each recruitment cycle. Copy the sections, question counts, time limits and negative marking from that document.
Sectional timing
Banking exams are won on section management. Turn on section-wise timers so students practise moving on when time for a section ends.
Use analysis to coach
Time-sink and skipped-solvable analysis shows which sections students lose time in, which tells you where to focus class practice.
