STRATEGIES FOR IBPS PO MAINS
Here are effective strategies to cover Current Affairs and General Knowledge before the IBPS PO Mains — especially if you’re short on time:
🗓️ 1. Focus on the Last 6 Months
-
IBPS PO Mains generally asks questions from the last 6 months (sometimes 7–8 months before the exam date).
-
Prioritize May to October 2025 current affairs (if your exam is in November).
📚 2. Use Monthly PDFs or Capsules
-
Use monthly current affairs PDFs from reliable sources like AffairsCloud, AffairsGuru, Oliveboard, Adda247, or StudyIQ.
-
Revise compiled “Mains Capsule PDFs” just before the exam — they summarize important events, awards, banking news, and government schemes in one place.
🏦 3. Give Extra Attention to Banking Awareness
-
IBPS PO focuses heavily on banking and financial awareness — not just general news.
Cover topics like:-
RBI Monetary Policy & Repo Rate
-
Government Schemes related to finance
-
Mergers of banks, new CEOs, taglines, headquarters
-
Budget & Economic Survey highlights
-
📰 4. Read ‘The Hindu’ or ‘Economic Times’ Smartly
-
Don’t read everything — focus on:
-
Economy and Banking section
-
National policies & international summits
-
Appointments, reports, and indices
-
Important MoUs and rankings
-
🧠 5. Make Micro Notes or Flashcards
-
Write short one-liners for revision:
-
“RBI launched PRAVAAH portal – May 2025”
-
“World Environment Day 2025 theme – ‘Land Restoration, Desertification, Drought Resilience’.”
-
-
Use digital flashcards (like Anki or Quizlet) for quick daily revision.
📅 6. Revise Weekly + Practice MCQs
-
Spend 15–30 minutes daily on current affairs quizzes.
-
Practice weekly CA quizzes to retain facts longer.
-
Use AffairsCloud Quiz App, Testbook, or Oliveboard GA practice sets.
🏁 7. Final 10-Day Revision Plan
-
Go through compiled PDFs of the last 6 months (especially Banking & Schemes).
-
Revise important appointments, awards, sports events, and government reports.
-
Attempt 3–4 full-length GA mock tests and note mistakes.
