IBPS PO study plan

Build a personal topic map for Reasoning by listing every puzzle and seating-arrangement variant you can name, then rank them by your current accuracy so weak variants surface first.

Solve 40 floor/linear seating and 40 box-stacking puzzle sets under a 12-minute clock per set, logging time and accuracy per set in a single tracker sheet.

Relearn percentage, ratio and average conversions from first principles and write a one-page conversion table you can reproduce from memory.

Complete 60 simplification and approximation questions in three timed 10-minute blocks and record which operation types slow you down.

Drill 30 coded-inequality and 30 syllogism sets, forcing yourself to write the conclusion symbols before checking options.

Solve 25 blood-relation and 25 direction-sense questions with diagrams drawn for every item, even the ones you answer mentally.

Master the three core data-interpretation formats (tabular, bar, pie) by solving 6 sets of 5 questions each with a 10-minute cap per set.

Memorise squares to 30, cubes to 15 and common fraction-to-percentage equivalents, then self-test cold twice in the week.

Attempt 4 full-length Reasoning sectional tests of 35 minutes each and classify every wrong answer as concept gap, misread or time pressure.

Solve 40 inequality-plus-puzzle hybrid questions that combine two reasoning types in one item.

Complete 50 quadratic-equation comparison questions and 40 number-series questions, writing the pattern rule for each series you solve.

Build a formula sheet covering time-speed-distance, boats, trains and mixtures, and use it to solve 45 word problems.

Solve 60 arithmetic word problems across profit-loss, simple and compound interest, and partnership, capping each at 90 seconds.

Complete 3 DI sets mixing caselet and missing-data formats, which are the slowest variants for most candidates.

Read two editorial-length passages daily and write a one-sentence main idea plus a three-word tone label for each.

Drill 60 error-spotting and 40 phrase-replacement questions, recording the grammar rule behind every error you miss.

Practise 4 reading-comprehension sets of 10 questions each with an 8-minute cap per set, answering inference questions only after locating the supporting line.

Complete 50 para-jumble and 40 cloze-test items, writing the connector word that justifies each ordering choice.

Compile a current banking-awareness sheet covering RBI policy rates, key regulators, major schemes and recent monetary-policy decisions, verifying each fact from a primary source.

Revise the English rule log from week 4 and re-attempt every question you previously got wrong.

Write 4 letter drafts and 4 essay outlines within 15 minutes each, then self-score against structure, grammar and relevance.

Complete 3 full English sectional tests of 25 minutes and log the time spent per question type.

Expand the awareness sheet with static banking history, types of accounts, negotiable instruments and financial-inclusion topics, cross-checking each entry.

Take 2 General Awareness mock tests of 20 minutes and list every question you could not answer from memory.

Take 3 full-length mocks under real sectional timing and record section-wise attempts, accuracy and time allocation.

Analyse each mock within 24 hours, re-solving every incorrect question without looking at the solution first.

Set and test a fixed question-selection order per section, then adjust it based on mock evidence rather than habit.

Revisit the weakest two topics from your error ledgers and solve 30 targeted questions in each.

Take 4 full-length mocks in the final ten days, tapering to one every other day near the end to protect recovery.

Cut new-topic study entirely and spend all remaining time on revision of formula sheets, rule logs and the awareness sheet.

Rehearse the exam-day routine: sectional cut-off awareness, skip thresholds and a fixed time budget per section.

Review only your own error ledgers in the last 48 hours, confirming each logged mistake now has a working fix.
