General English

For this we would recommend looking at the archives of the Daily Hindu editorial Vocabulary Booster and going through as many articles as you can. Also practice at least 3 RC passages and New pattern Cloze Test every day and practice Reading Comprehension Quiz.

Reasoning Ability and Computer Aptitude

Reasoning Ability section, again, will be of similar type to the prelims exam. Only change here will be clubbing of Computer Aptitude section. Practice High level questions of whatever you have done during prelims preparation and revise all the important topics that comes under computer aptitude.

Practice as many tests you can from logical and analytical reasoning, blood relations, syllogisms, circular seating arrangement, linear seating arrangement, coding decoding, inequalities etc. This section can be time-consuming and lengthy, therefore, make sure you pick and attempt wisely.

For Computer Aptitude, first understand how it is different from Computer Awareness. Under Computer Awareness Direct Factual Questions are asked such as History of Computers, Types, etc.,  while Computer Aptitude is the application of the computer knowledge in solving logical problems. Based on the questions asked in various other exams like, SBI PO, IBPS PO, etc. we can say that Binary number system (Language which computer understands) and computer programme flow charts are an important part of the syllabus of computer aptitude. So, focus more on practicing questions related to conversion of numbers from Binary to numerical system, Binary to Decimal System, Decimal to Binary, Numerical to binary, etc. The other type is flowcharts, in which a situation is given in the form of a flowchart (like that of a computer program) and candidates would have to solve the questions based on the information provided in the flowchart.

Important Topics under Computer Aptitude for IBPS Clerk Mains

DBMS, Full form of Technical Terms, Networking and Protocols, Flowchart, Logic gates, Basic terms of Hardware and Software, Computer Programmes, Commands, Basic logical questions on routine operation of computers, computer languages, Basic Conversion, etc.

Quantitative Aptitude

The trick to scoring marks in Quantitative Aptitude Section of IBPS Clerk Mains is to attempt the questions on Quadratic Equations, Simplification and Approximation first and then going for Number Series. Hence, work on strengthening these topics. The Data Interpretation questions are known to be calculation intensive. Hence, make sure you practice at least 5 sets everyday. Expect calculations to be lengthy in the IBPS Clerk Mains. So, in the next few days, revise various shortcuts to multiply, divide numbers, find percentage of numbers etc. The faster you can calculate, the more you can score in DI in the exam.
