MSC Bank Recruitment · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 8 hours per week

Week 1

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning Ability

  • Diagnose baseline by taking one full-length timed mock of Quantitative Aptitude and one of Reasoning Ability, then tabulate accuracy and time-per-question by question type

  • Build a personal formula sheet covering percentages, ratio-proportion, averages, profit and loss, and simple/compound interest, and solve 60 mixed arithmetic questions using it

  • Master simplification and approximation plus number series by drilling 80 questions under a 45-second-per-question cap

  • Set up a daily error log that records the question, the trap, the correct method, and the reason for the mistake for every wrong answer

Your checkpoint

A scored baseline report plus an error log with at least 40 entries tagged by question type and root cause

Week 2

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning Ability

  • Solve time-work and pipes-cistern problems using the efficiency (LCM) method until 50 questions are completed at 80 percent accuracy

  • Solve time-speed-distance and trains/boats problems, converting between km/h and m/s fluently across 50 questions

  • Cover seating arrangement (linear and circular) and ranking/order puzzles with 40 questions, drawing a diagram for each

  • Review the week-1 error log and re-solve every logged question cold without notes

Your checkpoint

A topic-wise accuracy table for six quantitative and reasoning topics, each with question count and hit rate

Week 3

Reasoning Ability & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability

  • Practice syllogism using Venn diagrams and the possibility case across 40 questions, and state the rule applied for each answer

  • Practice blood relations, direction sense, and order-ranking across 50 questions, drawing family trees and direction maps

  • Solve data interpretation sets (table, bar, pie, line) with 20 sets timed at 6 minutes per set

  • Complete 30 mensuration and geometry questions covering area, volume, and surface area formulas

Your checkpoint

Twenty solved DI sets with per-set timing and a one-line note on where time was lost

Week 4

Reasoning Ability & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability

  • Solve puzzles and arrangements (floor, box, scheduling, category-based) across 25 sets, noting the clue that unlocked each set

  • Practice coded inequalities and alphanumeric series across 50 questions

  • Complete 40 permutation-combination and probability questions, writing the formula used for each

  • Take one full-length timed sectional test in both quantitative and reasoning and compare scores to the week-1 baseline

Your checkpoint

A sectional test scorecard showing improvement against the baseline with the three weakest topics named

Week 5

English Language & General / Banking Awareness

  • Read one editorial or business article daily and extract 10 words with usage sentences, building a vocabulary log of 70 entries

  • Complete 100 error-spotting and sentence-correction questions, classifying each error by grammar rule

  • Practice 100 reading comprehension questions across 10 passages, targeting 8 minutes per passage

  • Build a dated current-affairs timeline covering the last 6 months of banking, economy, and appointments news, with 100 entries

Your checkpoint

A grammar-rule error sheet plus a 100-entry current-affairs timeline and a 70-word vocabulary log

Week 6

General / Banking Awareness & Professional / Subject Knowledge (Banking, Accounting, Law)

  • Memorize and self-test RBI functions, monetary policy tools, and key policy rates, scoring 90 percent on a 30-question self-quiz

  • Revise accounting and banking-law weak spots flagged in week 6 and re-solve all missed questions

Your checkpoint

A computer-knowledge MCQ log with 150 attempted questions and an accuracy figure above 80 percent

Week 8

English Language & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning Ability & General / Banking Awareness & Computer Knowledge & Professional / Subject Knowledge (Banking, Accounting, Law)
