Indian Bank LBO study plan

Indian Bank LBO · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability

  • Diagnose baseline speed by solving 20 simplification and approximation questions in 15 minutes and log accuracy per topic

  • Memorise tables to 25, squares to 40, cubes to 20 and common fraction-percentage equivalents, then self-test all four sets without notes

  • Apply percentage and ratio shortcuts to 30 word problems, writing the formula used beside each answer

  • Set up a personal error log with columns for topic, cause of error and time lost

Your checkpoint

A one-page baseline scorecard listing accuracy and average time per question for simplification, percentage and ratio

Week 2

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning / General Intelligence

  • Solve 25 average, mixture and partnership sums using the allegation method, targeting under 60 seconds each

  • Complete 15 data-interpretation sets (tabular and bar) by reading only the asked values and skipping redundant data

  • Practise 20 blood-relation and direction-sense puzzles by drawing a single diagram per question

  • Review every week-1 error-log entry and re-solve each wrong question correctly from scratch

Your checkpoint

A timed 30-question mixed set (arithmetic plus DI plus puzzles) scored with accuracy percentage and total time recorded

Week 3

Reasoning / General Intelligence & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability

  • Solve 20 seating-arrangement puzzles (linear and circular) with fixed 5-minute caps and note which clue types break the puzzle fastest

  • Complete 15 syllogism and inequality sets using Venn diagrams and the either-or rule

  • Drill time-speed-distance and train problems, including relative speed and boat-stream variants, at 30 questions total

  • Build a one-page decision sheet ranking puzzle types by your own accuracy so easier sets are attempted first

Your checkpoint

A timed 25-question reasoning set (arrangements, syllogism, inequality) with a written attempt-order strategy

Week 4

Reasoning / General Intelligence & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability

  • Solve 20 coding-decoding, alphanumeric-series and analogy questions with under 45 seconds per question

  • Complete 15 simplification-plus-quadratic comparison sets under exam timing

  • Attempt two full-length mock tests covering reasoning and quantitative aptitude and analyse each for time sinks

  • Reclassify all error-log entries into concept gaps versus speed gaps and list corrective drills for each

Your checkpoint

Two completed mock tests with a written analysis identifying the three largest time sinks and the fix for each

Week 5

English Language & General / Banking Awareness

  • Read one editorial daily and extract 10 words with usage sentences, revising the running list twice this week

  • Complete 20 error-spotting and sentence-improvement sets, recording the grammar rule violated for each error

  • Build a banking-awareness fact sheet covering RBI functions, monetary policy tools, CRR, SLR, repo and reverse repo, and key banking terms

  • Take one 25-question English sectional test and one 25-question awareness sectional test, then review every wrong answer

Your checkpoint

A vocabulary notebook of 50 words with sentences plus a one-page RBI and monetary-policy fact sheet

Week 6

English Language & General / Banking Awareness

  • Practise 15 reading-comprehension passages using a skim-question-scan routine with a 6-minute cap per passage

  • Complete 20 cloze-test and para-jumble sets, noting connector words that signal sequence

  • Memorise current affairs from the last six months on banking, schemes, appointments and awards, in dated bullet form

  • Revise the week-5 fact sheet and self-quiz 30 awareness questions from memory

Your checkpoint

A dated current-affairs digest of at least 60 items plus a scored 30-question awareness self-quiz

Week 7

Reasoning / General Intelligence & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & English Language & General / Banking Awareness

  • Attempt three full-length mocks in strict exam order and timing, one per alternate day

  • Analyse each mock within 24 hours, tagging every error as concept, speed or carelessness

  • Re-solve all concept-tagged errors from the three mocks without looking at solutions first

  • Cut average per-question time in the weakest two sections by 15 percent against the week-1 baseline

Your checkpoint

A three-mock trend table showing section-wise accuracy and time, with the weakest-two-section improvement quantified

Week 8

Reasoning / General Intelligence & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & English Language & General / Banking Awareness

  • Take two final full-length mocks and hold section-wise accuracy above 70 percent in each

  • Revise the error log, vocabulary notebook, fact sheet and current-affairs digest in three rotating passes

  • Rehearse the fixed attempt order and per-section time budget on two timed sectional sets

  • Stop new-topic study 48 hours before the exam and restrict the final day to light revision and sleep

Your checkpoint

A final one-page exam-day plan with section order, time budget per section and the top 10 recurring mistakes to avoid

Milestones

Week 2: Baseline scorecard shows measurable speed gains: simplification and percentage questions solved under 60 seconds each at 80 percent accuracy

Week 4: Two full mocks completed; reasoning-plus-quant accuracy at or above 60 percent with a written time-sink analysis

Week 6: English and awareness sectionals completed; awareness self-quiz scored at or above 70 percent and 50 vocabulary words retained

Week 7: Three-mock trend table shows improving accuracy across all four sections and a 15 percent cut in weakest-section time

Week 8: Final mocks hold every section at or above 70 percent accuracy and the exam-day plan is written and rehearsed
