entered carefully as it would be used at later stages of the exam.

If you are eligible for fees
concessions, the facility of pre-exam training can also be availed. Check this
option and avail the training provided by the institute a few weeks before the
examination.
The job of a bank PO is a very responsible
position and the IBPS makes sure to select the best people for the job.
Candidates should gear their preparation towards tackling factors unique to
this exam. Some of these factors are the heavy emphasis on business and finance
not seen in other competitive examinations, the very limited time duration and
restrictions on reattempting a question etc. While preparing for this exam,
speed and accuracy gain even more importance than other factors. These can be
gained through constant practice, mastery of the subject and revision. Those
who are going to appear for IBPS PO 2022 have very little time left and should
consider joining a test series and double down on their efforts to succeed.
