Preparation Tips : IBPS CSA/Clerk Recruitment 2026

Master Sectional Speed & Timed Accuracy: The Prelims test evaluates English Language, Numerical Ability, and Reasoning Ability under strict 20-minute sectional timers. Practice daily speed math calculations and puzzle sets under strict time limits.
-
Capitalize on Mains Reasoning & Computer Aptitude: In the Mains phase, general awareness (focusing on current banking trends) and computer aptitude carry heavy weight. Maintain daily bullet-point notes on financial current affairs and banking terms.
