Federal Bank PO · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Reasoning and Computer Aptitude & Data Analysis and Interpretation

  • Map the Reasoning and Computer Aptitude syllabus into a checklist of every puzzle type, seating arrangement, syllogism, inequality, coding-decoding, input-output, and computer-awareness subtopic, and rate current confidence on each from 1 to 5

  • Solve 20 puzzles and seating arrangements under a 10-minute cap per set and log accuracy plus time per set in a spreadsheet

  • Revise computer fundamentals: hardware, memory units, number systems, and basic binary-decimal-hex conversions, then self-test with 30 conversion and abbreviation items

  • Complete 15 data-interpretation sets (tables, bar, line, pie) and record which calculation shortcuts slowed you down

Your checkpoint

A one-page diagnostic sheet listing weakest 10 subtopics across Domains 1 and 2 with baseline accuracy percentages

Week 2

Reasoning and Computer Aptitude & Data Analysis and Interpretation

  • Drill 25 mixed reasoning sets covering syllogisms, inequalities, blood relations, direction sense, and order-ranking, targeting 85% accuracy

  • Solve 20 DI sets mixing caselets and missing-data tables, and practise percentage-to-fraction conversions until recall is instant

  • Build a personal formula sheet for averages, ratios, and percentage change used inside DI sets

  • Study computer networking basics: LAN/WAN, IP addressing, protocols, and topologies, then answer 25 recall questions

Your checkpoint

A timed 30-question reasoning plus 2-DI-set mock scored and reviewed, with every wrong answer tagged by cause

Week 3

Reasoning and Computer Aptitude & Data Analysis and Interpretation

  • Master input-output and machine-input puzzles by solving 12 full sets and writing the step pattern for each

  • Practise 15 arithmetic-heavy DI sets involving profit, partnership, and time-speed-distance within data tables

  • Cover computer security and software basics: operating systems, DBMS concepts, malware types, and firewalls, with 30 practice items

  • Reduce average puzzle-solving time to under 8 minutes per set without dropping below 80% accuracy

Your checkpoint

A log of 12 input-output solutions with the derived rule written in one line each

Week 4

Reasoning and Computer Aptitude & Data Analysis and Interpretation & Quantitative Aptitude

  • Complete two full-length sectional tests for Reasoning and Computer Aptitude and analyse error patterns question-type by question-type

  • Complete two full-length sectional tests for Data Analysis and Interpretation and identify the three set types that consume the most time

  • Revise quantitative basics needed inside DI: ratios, averages, and successive percentage change, via 60 practice sums

  • Fix a final attempt-order strategy for each section and test it under exam timing

Your checkpoint

Two sectional mock scorecards with a written attempt-order strategy and target cut-off margin

Week 5

Quantitative Aptitude & General and Banking Awareness

  • Cover the full quantitative aptitude syllabus with 20 questions each on simplification, number series, quadratic equations, and approximation

  • Solve 15 word-problem sets on time-work, pipes-cisterns, boats-streams, and mixtures at a 90-second-per-question pace

  • Build a dated current-affairs timeline covering the last 6 months of banking and economy news from a single reliable monthly digest

  • Memorise RBI functions, monetary policy tools, and key policy rates, then self-quiz with 40 items

Your checkpoint

A current-affairs and banking-terms fact file of at least 150 dated entries in your own words

Week 6

Quantitative Aptitude & General and Banking Awareness & English Language

  • Drill 100 arithmetic questions across percentages, profit-loss, SI-CI, and mensuration with full error review

  • Revise banking awareness: types of accounts, negotiable instruments, NPA classification, Basel norms, and payment systems such as UPI, NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS

  • Practise 30 English reading-comprehension passages and note every unfamiliar word with its context meaning

  • Complete 40 error-spotting and sentence-improvement questions and record the grammar rules you missed

Your checkpoint

A grammar and banking-terms revision sheet with 60 rule entries, each paired with one example you wrote

Week 7

English Language & General and Banking Awareness & Reasoning and Computer Aptitude

  • Complete 50 cloze-test and para-jumble questions and write the connector logic used to sequence each jumble

  • Revise static and financial awareness: banking history, regulators, insurance, and major financial institutions, with 60 recall questions

  • Re-attempt the 20 hardest reasoning sets from weeks 1 to 3 and confirm accuracy now exceeds 85%

  • Practise 20 sentence-connector and fill-in-the-blank items under a 45-second cap each

Your checkpoint

A full English Language sectional mock scored, with a vocabulary list of 80 words in your own sentences

Week 8

Reasoning and Computer Aptitude & Data Analysis and Interpretation & Quantitative Aptitude & General and Banking Awareness & English Language

  • Take three full-length mocks across all five domains under strict exam timing and review each within 24 hours

  • Revisit only the error log from weeks 1 to 7 and re-solve every still-wrong question type

  • Consolidate the fact file, formula sheet, and grammar sheet into a single two-hour pre-exam revision pack

  • Simulate exam-day logistics: sectional time allocation, screen-based calculation practice, and a calm pre-test routine

Your checkpoint

Three full-mock scorecards showing a rising trend, plus a final one-page revision pack
