The candidates should regularly practice mock tests to improve their speed and accuracy. Apart from clearing the exams, it is also necessary for the candidates to have a positive attitude towards the work to be performed by them after their selection. 

IBPS PO Promotion and Job Profile

Once the candidate passes the interview, he is given a posting and goes through about 10 to 20 days of induction training. A probationary officer gets the post of an ‘Assistant Manager’ and is on probation for 2 years, after which he is given a permanent job depending on his performance. During the course of the first 2 years, you have to be prepared for transfer to at least 3 different bank branches and locations.

An Assistant Manager of a bank is basically expected to multitask and should know how to handle the various departments such as Marketing, Accounting and Finance.

Here are a few things that are required of a probationary officer in a bank-

• Probationary officers generally deal with customers handling their queries and problems, introducing them to new bank policies and products as well as issuing any cheques or demand drafts. Loan processing is also taken care of by probationary officers.
• They also play a major role in marketing the products and services of the bank, thus bringing in fresh business from time to time.
• Overlooking the work of the bank clerks on a daily basis is another role that probationary officers have to play.

Ideally, promotions are based on the overall performance and efficiency of an Assistant Manager. Thus, if you want to enter this career path your ideal progression would be as follows-

• Junior Management Grade – Scale I: Probationary Officer
• Middle Management Grade – Scale II: Manager
• Middle Management Grade – Scale III: Senior Manager
• Senior Management Grade – Scale IV: Chief Manager
• Senior Management Grade Scale V: Assistant General Manager
• Top Management Grade Scale VI: Deputy General Manager
• Top Management Grade Scale VII: General Manager
• Executive Director (ED)
• Chairman and Managing Director (CMD)

You can expect posting in mostly urban areas only, although on occasion rural areas are also allotted.

IBPS PO Notification 2023 – Prelims Preparation Strategy

Section-wise preparation strategies for the IBPS PO Prelims exam are as follows:

English Language Section Preparation Strategy:

• This section consists of fill-in-the-blanks, para-jumble, word usage, error spotting, reading comprehension, etc.
• Usually, around 8-10 questions will be based on comprehension, while the other 20-22 questions will be based on the other topics mentioned.
• It is important that you prepare for this section by reading regularly. Reading newspapers, editorials, books, etc can help build up your grammar as well as vocabulary.
• You need to be thorough on the usage of verbs and their different forms, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, etc. in different sentences.
• For IBPS PO Prelims Preparation, reading at least two articles in the newspaper daily is advised. This can help you achieve a good score in the English Language section.

Numerical Ability Section Preparation Strategy:

• Simplification or approximation questions form a very major portion of this section. Remember that the prelims exam is only a qualifying exam for the Mains exam. So, having a fast calculation speed is an important requirement for this section.
• You should be well acquainted with the multiplication tables and squares and cubes of the first 30 natural numbers. There will also be miscellaneous individual questions based on topics like Profit and Loss, Time and Speed, Time and Work, Simple and Compound Interest, Mensuration, etc..
• You should be well-versed with the formulas and basic concepts of these topics. Along with these, there will be Data Interpretation (DI) questions like tables, pie charts, bar graphs, case lets, etc. The table or graph will be followed by 4-5 questions based on the data given. The more questions you practice in this section, the better your chances of scoring a good score.

Reasoning Ability Section Preparation Strategy:

• The common topics in the reasoning section are Puzzles (Arrangement based sets of questions), Syllogism, Blood Relations, Coding-Decoding, Inequalities, etc..
• The basic thing required to answer the questions of this section correctly is understanding the logic well.
• Read the puzzles thoroughly and note down (or draw diagrams if required) as you do so.
• Do not rush while reading the question, as a simple or silly reading mistake could lead to the whole set of puzzles getting solved wrong. Practice as many questions as possible to score well in the reasoning section.

Takeaways for IBPS PO Prelims Preparation Strategy:

• Read articles and newspapers regularly to improve your grammar and vocabulary and to score well in the English Language section.
• Learn short tricks for the Quantitative Aptitude questions. Practice such tricks over and over to get a good grip on them.
• For Reasoning questions, try to develop tricks for specific topics like blood relations, coding, and decoding, etc..
• Do not use a calculator while solving quantitative questions even if you feel like it. Using the calculator now can make you unable to solve even easy calculations during the exam.
• Practice as many questions as possible. Try to develop an understanding of your strong and weak areas so that you can work on them and approach the questions in the exam accordingly.
• Once you are done studying topics individually, switch to practicing mock tests. Time-bound practice will help you and make you better prepared for the real exam.
