Presented below is the section-wise analysis of the IBPS PO entrance examination which was conducted in the month of October previous year. The IBPS PO exam section-wise analysis is as follows:
In the opinion of the IBPS PO 2018 exam takers, the IBPO PO 2018 English language section was moderately difficult. The English language section comprised of reading comprehension, cloze test, filler, error detection and sentence improvement. Out of the 30 total questions, only the error detection questions gave the students a headache. The RC passages were based on excerpts from the history of newspaper and printing press.
There were a total of 35 questions in this section. The overall difficulty level of this section moderate. Questions in the reasoning ability section of IBPS PO 2018 exam were based on the square seating arrangement, floor-based puzzle, miscellaneous puzzle etc. There were a total of 15 questions, the maximum number, based on puzzles and seating arrangement.
The quantitative aptitude section of the IBPS PO 2018 exam was relatively the easiest of all, said the students. The questions, unsurprisingly, did not show any deviation from what was expected on the basis of the exam pattern and syllabus. Maximum questions were miscellaneous questions like Profit & Loss, SI etc while the wrong number series and quadratic equation had only 6 questions each based on them.
