SBI PO 2015 Full Syllabus of New Pattern Exam (Pre+Mains)
Quantitative Aptitude :
Both Paper I and Paper II of SBI PO 2015 have Quantitative Aptitude, but the pattern will be different for both the exams.
For Prelims / Phase I Exam : In Paper I, you can expect
questions from Simplifications, Number System, Averages, Ratio and
Proportion, Percentages, Profit and Loss, Simple Interest, Compound
Interest, Time and Work, Time and Distance, Permutations and
Combinations, Probability and Data Interpretation.
Difficulty Level : The difficulty level will be simple to medium. They wont go for the questions with the higher difficulty level.
For Mains / Phase II Exam
: Obviously, in Paper II the questions will be completely based on
Data Interpretation with Higher Difficulty level. The cutoff will be
less, so you better focus on quality rather than quantity.
Important Points to Note :
- Possibly, there will be NO questions from Data Interpretation in Phase I Exam. But we suggest to prepare DI too, as we can't predict the paper pattern.
- For DI, people blindly go with Data Interpretation practice tests provided by many books and websites, but that doesn't enough. SBI is so cunning, that they can turn any topic into data interpretation (in previous years they have asked DI questions from the topics like Simple and Compound Interest, Probability, Permutations and Combinations etc). So basics are very important to get good marks.
Reasoning :
The topics will be same for both SBI PO Prelims and Mains exams. But the
difficulty level varies. So practice questions with higher difficulty
level, so that it will be helpful for both prelims and mains.
For both Prelims and Mains :
- Coding - Decoding, Blood Relations, Input & Output, Analogy and Series, Directions, Decision Making, Syllogisms, Critical Reasoning & Data Sufficiency and Seating Arrangement.
- In previous years' exams they have asked 5 questions from Input-Output, 5 questions from Coding-Decoding, 15 questions from Logical Reasoning, 10 - 15 questions from Puzzle / Seating Arrangements, 5 questions from Data Sufficiency, 5 questions from Directions, 5 questions from remaining basic stuff.
- You will get standard Reasoning stuff (almost similar to clerical level) in the Phase I Exam.
- In Phase II they mainly focus on Seating Arrangement.
English :
Here also the syllabus will be same for both SBI Prelims and Mains
online exams. Only difficulty level varies. You can expect maximum
questions from Grammar, Vocabulary and Comprehension.
For Prelims / Phase I Exam : For prelims you can expect 5-10 Questions from Cloze Test, 5-10 from Reading Comprehension, 5 questions from Spotting the Errors, 5-10 from Sentence Re-arrangement, Completion and Improvement, 5 Questions from Fill in the banks.
For Mains / Phase II Exam : You can expect 10 questions from Cloze test and 20 questions from Reading Comprehension. 5-10 questions from Spotting Errors, 5-10 from Sentence arrangement, completion and improvement. 5-10 questions from remaining regular stuff.
Important Points to Note :
- You should focus more on cloze test, spotting errors, sentence completion & improvement.
- You should get good grip on Grammar basics & Vocabulary.
- Read daily news paper, play word games in internet.
SBI PO 2015 Full Syllabus of New Pattern Exam (Pre+Mains)
Descriptive Test :
This will be the heart of SBI PO 2015 Exam. First practice all basic essays and letters of
your schools and college text books. Pick a new topic from news paper
and practice writing essays on it (you can exchange these essays among
your friends / educative relatives and can ask them point out the
errors). Being a Probationary Officer in SBI, you will have to write
letters to a number of people. So, they will take letter writing very
seriously. Practice both personal and official letters observing the
main difference between them. NEVER use chat lingo (Dea, Buddy, Luv u,
Neva, CU, BRB, Dis, Dat etc) in your essays and letters (either it is
personal or official letter).
General Awareness :
In PO exams, SBI will mainly focus on Current Affairs rather than
Banking Awareness. You should prepare Current Affairs of last 6 - 7
months. You should focus more on the areas Recent updates in Banking
& Finance industry, Recent Summits & Conferences, People in News
(Famous, Controversial & Dead), Books & Authors, Important
Committees, Recent Awards and Sports updates etc.
Computers :
They wont expect to be expert in computers. Basic knowledge of computers
is enough. You should prepare basics of Computer (What is what and
Funcitonalities), Full forms, Evolution of Computers, Generations of
computers, Recent updates in technology, MS Office (Focus more on Word
and Excel).
Marketing :
This will be new for many banking aspirants as there is no marketing in
IBPS and other competitive exams. But no need to worry, you can answer
10 to 15% of questions of SBI PO Marketing Section using your
commonsense. You should prepare marketing basics like, Marketing
Terminology, Definitions, Various types of marketing, New schemes in
banking industry, difference between Selling and Marketing, Branding and
Co-branding, Product Life Cycle, Punchlines of Banks and other
important organizations, 7 P's of marketing, CRM concepts etc.
