Unlike previous years, candidates now need to prepare their specialization subject from the very beginning, as it appears in both the preliminary and mains examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With around five weeks available before the preliminary exam, a structured plan can help you complete the syllabus, improve accuracy, and build exam temperament through regular mock tests. This guide explains exactly how to prepare for the revised IBPS SO 2026 exam week by week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-prepare-for-ibps-so-2026-after-the-pattern-change\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_prepare_for_IBPS_SO_2026_after_the_pattern_change\"><\/span>How to prepare for IBPS SO 2026 after the pattern change?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting your preparation, it&#8217;s important to understand how the latest pattern affects your study plan. The biggest change is that professional knowledge is no longer limited to the mains examination, making it a daily priority from day 1. Since the mains examination also gives the highest weightage to professional knowledge, candidates should prepare both stages together instead of treating them separately.
