Hello Friends,
Here we are with the First Day, Second Shift Analysis. Amid all the confusion on the recruitment process and the cases lodged, SBI was directed to continue the process. Yesterday was the day when most of you got to know the marks scored by you in the exam. The cut off came as a bit of shock for most of us. But still, most of you have managed to clear it. So now, let us look at what SBI brought to us in the Mains Exam.
Friends, as anticipated, the sections were arranged in the same manner it was published in the recruitment notification. The Order of section was like GA>English>Reasoning>Quant
Over-All Analysis:
The story remained exactly same as it was in first shift. Second shift clearly gave an idea that exam was a bit moderate to difficult and it was not a typical clerk exam. The Quant Section was Difficult and English was bit Moderate. There were no questions from Computer Section. Everyone said that Reasoning and GA was only savior in the exam. The below table will give a clear idea.
