As you can see, in the mains paper there are essentially three sections that are entirely new , that is, we don’t study them for the prelims exam. Hence while preparing for the IBPS RRB Mains exam we should put this on a higher priority.

Keeping that in mind, let us move on to syllabus for this section.

Computer Knowledge section of IBPS RRB exam would consist of following topics-

Let us now discuss how to prepare for this section.

IBPS RRB Mains Computer Knowledge Section : How To Prepare

Computers form the basis of the working any organisation in today’s age. Thus, a basic level of familiarity with computers and computer concepts is a must for any job seeker. This is exactly what this section of the exams tests you on. Understand that these bank exam tests don’t require you to be an expert. They just want to make sure that a candidate won’t have a problem carrying out the required work. So use this as an opportunity to not just prepare for the exam but to be a good computer operator.

Where to prepare from?

Don’t get caught up with proper computer textbooks because they would be of a much higher level than is required for exam preparation purposes. Instead, opt for online e-books and capsules that are tailor made for every exam. You should also take regular quizzes on this (available online for free) topic so that you remember it. These quizzes will also give you a fair idea about the kind of questions you can expect in the exam.
