Arihant's IBPS PO/MT CWE-VI Preliminary exam

Career Power is ready to power your IBPS PO/MT VI preparation

IBPS is way past the days when they conducted only 1 examination and an interview to decide the final list of candidates to fill vacancies. Those were the days when without studying I could get a seat with Bank Of Baroda, thanks to IBPS PO/MT III.

Now, the scenario has changed quite a lot. There's a Preliminary Examination, a Main Examination and an Interview to fill the vacancies. It definitely hasn't gotten any easier. The number of candidates applying year-on-year have increased, so they had to make the examination a bit challenging. Happens with every exam.

Due to these changes, the Preliminary Exam is now just a screening test and has no role in final shortlisting or ranking of a candidate.

This has made proper studying and even coaching classes imperative for students. Thus the task for cracking has become even more difficult. It is not easy to find a suitable coaching institute to study at. Finding one is a test in itself.

There are many coaching institutes out there promising results. But not everyone can give results.
In a standardised test like IBPS PO/MT, standardised preparation needs to be done, which can be provided by someone's who has standardised the study.

This has been done well by Career Power, An IIT/IIM Alumni Company. They have centres all across the nations, called Bank Power, for preparation of IBPS and similar exams. Career Power has standardised the preparation for the exams, so much so that if a student wants to take a few classes at some other centre, than registered, they can easily do so.

Keeping in view IBPS PO/MT VI examination, they are starting new batches at centres as:

BRANCH	START DATE

Structure of CWE Online Examination - Preliminary and Main Examination for CWE IBPS PO/MT VI

IBPS PO/MT VI consists of Preliminary Online Examination, Main Online Examination and an Interview in the end.

Online Examination Pattern

Pattern of Online Preliminary Examination for CWE IBPS PO/MT VI

The Preliminary Examination is an examination of 1 hour, in which the following test areas are evaluated:

Test Subject	Questions	Marks
English	30	30
Quantitative	35	35
Reasoning	35	35

Preliminary Exam consists of a total 100 questions.

Thus for each question the candidate gets just a little bit more than half-a-minute to solve and mark the answer online.

To be eligible in Preliminary Examination, the candidate would have to secure cut-off marks in each test subject (section).

Candidates securing such marks would then be eligible for the Main Examination.

Pattern of Online Main Examination for CWE IBPS PO/MT VI

The Main Examination is an examination of 2 hours 20 minutes (140 minutes) in total, which evaluates the following areas:

Test Subject	Questions	Marks	Time allotted
Reasoning	50	50	40 minutes
English	40	40	30 minutes
Quantitative	50	50	40 minutes
General Awareness	40	40	20 minutes
Computer Knowledge	20	20	10 minutes

It should be noted that other than the test of English Language, all the other sections will be available in both English and Hindi medium for the candidates.

Also, each of the section in Main Examination is separately timed, so when time for one section is over, you cannot go have a look at it again.

The section on General Awareness has a special focus on Banking questions.

Wrong Answer

Each wrong answer in both Preliminary and Main Online examination means a deduction of 0.25 marks. There is no penalty for leaving an answer blank.

Examination Centres

There are tentatively 36 State/UT where the examinations are going to be held. The total number of centres might change, increase or decreases as per IBPS's discretion, due to number of responses or administrative facility.

Online form gives choice to candidates for selection of centre. But IBPS might end up allotting any other centre than opted one.

Scores

Scores if normalised, will be taken up to 2 decimal places for calculations.

Cut Off Score

A candidate has to secure a minimum score in each of the test of Online Main examination and a minimum total score too, to be considered to be shortlisted for interview.

The cut-off will be decided after the result, depending upon the number vacancies available. Total score in Main Examination will be shared with the candidates only after the interview process is over.

Marks obtained in the Main Examination ONLY will be considered for shortlisting for interview and also for final merit listing.

Thus marks obtained in Preliminary examination just act as marks to remove the excess candidates.
