Indian Bank LBO study plan
Indian Bank LBO · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
