IBPS Clerk 2019: Mains Study Plan
IBPS Clerk Prelims 2019 has been concluded and it’s time to kick-start preparation for IBPS Clerk Mains which is scheduled to be conducted on 19 January, 2020. As we all know, the IBPS clerk prelims was of a easy to moderate difficulty level. Some new question types were asked in the English language section however, numerical ability and reasoning were on expected lines. The general trend observed in all IBPS exams this year was an increase in the difficulty level as well as introduction of some new question types.
Taking this into account, it would only be logical to expect the IBPS Clerk Mains exam 2019 to be on a higher side of the difficulty spectrum. Also, one should use this time to build up their basics so as to be able to deal with any new types of questions asked.
In this article, we have brought a study plan for the IBPS Clerk Mains Exam 2019. Let us first take a look at the exam pattern.
