Main summary

Key takeaways

Educational

Main Ideas / Concepts Covered

  • Bank exam “calendar” for 2026
    • The session outlines upcoming exam notifications and approximate months for:
      • SBI PO Prelims/PO
      • IBPS PO (Prelims)
      • IBPS Clerk (Prelims/Mains)
      • IBPS RRB PO / RRB Clerk (Prelims/Mains)
      • SBI PO Mains
      • RRB PO / RRB Clerk Mains
  • Importance of timing and consistency
    • Use the upcoming lineup period to build a foundation so later exams feel easier.
    • Start today / “from tomorrow” and continue daily.
  • Quant focus = Arithmetic + speed + practice strategy
    • Arithmetic is treated as the biggest bottleneck; strengthening it also improves Data Interpretation (DI).
    • Emphasis on speed: understand concepts and choose the fastest method during the exam.
  • Reasoning focus = Puzzles first
    • For SBI PO Prelims and IBPS PO Prelims, a large share of marks is expected from puzzles.
    • Therefore, strengthen the “puzzle” part immediately.
  • Clear targets (mark-based) for each exam stage
    • Multiple numeric targets are provided for Reasoning and Quant (especially for SBI PO / IBPS PO / clerical-style exams).
  • Daily class structure + mock testing
    • Regular live sessions at fixed times, plus periodic mock tests and self-analysis.

Methodology / Instruction List (Detailed)

A) Overall Exam Lineup (What to Expect in 2026)

  • SBI PO Prelims & SBI PO (notification referenced)
  • IBPS PO Prelims: expected in August
  • IBPS Clerk Prelims: expected in October
  • IBPS RRB PO Prelims: expected in November
  • IBPS RRB Clerk Prelims & SBI PO Mains: October / November
  • SBI PO Mains: end of October / first week of November
  • IBPS Clerk Mains: December
  • IBPS RRB PO Mains & RRB Clerk Mains: January

B) Quant Plan (“DNA of Quant”)

Core Logic

  • Strengthen Arithmetic because:
    • It is the biggest challenge for many candidates.
    • If Arithmetic becomes strong, DI improves automatically.
  • Quant improvement requires:
    • Concept clarity (not just reading one-shots)
    • Calculation command
    • Speed + best approach selection
    • Revision notes + regular practice (more live practice, not only “at-home”)

Class Timing and Components

  • Daily Quant class at 8:00 AM (starting tomorrow)
  • Three structured levels/groups:
    • Starter Genes (Easy level): very easy starter questions to build base concepts
    • Power Genes (PO level arithmetic): variable-based arithmetic, approximation-based arithmetic, new pattern questions
    • Legend Genes (Mains level): mains-oriented advanced coverage
  • Sequence inside the class:
    • Warm-up easy set (15–20 minutes)
    • Then Power Gene questions (PO-level)
    • End with Legend Gene advanced questions

Weekly Mock Integration

  • Monday–Friday: “Quant DNA” daily sessions across three levels (arithmetic)
  • Saturday:
    • Conduct/attempt the Master Mock
    • Score check after Friday
    • Performance evaluation with tracking (e.g., out of 30 / 35 depending on exam format)

Arithmetic Target Strategy (SBI PO / Exam Expectation)

  • For SBI PO Prelims Quant arithmetic:
    • If arithmetic has 10 questions, a consistent candidate aims for 7–8
  • Quant score targets mentioned:
    • PO target: 20+
    • Clerical target: 30+

Practice Rule

  • Don’t only practice silently at home:
    • Attend live session
    • Attempt questions during class
    • Learn from solutions and make notes
    • Use provided PDFs for revision

Daily Question Volume Estimate

  • Over ~40 days, if you solve about 20 questions carefully daily:
    • Total arithmetic practice could reach roughly 700–800 questions (estimate mentioned)
  • With that, the expectation is:
    • Achieve 7–8 out of 10 arithmetic solutions

C) Reasoning Plan (Selection-Focused)

Core Logic

  • Reasoning target is built around the nearest exams—especially puzzles.
  • Numeric targets should be followed for beginners to advanced candidates (as stated).

Reasoning Targets by Exam (As Stated)

  • SBI PO Prelims
    • 30 questions / 30 marks
    • Target: 22 marks
  • IBPS PO Prelims
    • 35 questions / 35 marks
    • Target: 27–28 marks+ (and potentially higher)
  • SBI PO Mains
    • 60 marks reasoning
    • Target: ~30 marks
    • Mentioned cut-off range: 40–50%
  • IBPS PO Mains
    • 60 marks reasoning
    • Target: ~30 marks

Immediate Priority: Puzzles

  • SBI PO Prelims
    • Puzzles expected: 20–25 marks out of 30
  • IBPS PO Prelims
    • Puzzles expected: minimum ~20–25 marks
  • Therefore: puzzle mastery must be strengthened first

Puzzle “This Week” Task (From Tomorrow to Saturday)

  • Watch/complete the referenced lecture series:
    • “251 Rules of Puzzles”
  • If already completed:
    • Still make careful notes
    • Revise notes 2–3 times daily
  • Goal:
    • Complete this week so puzzle foundation is strong before puzzle-focused mock/discussion

Next-Week Reasoning Structure (Monday to Friday)

  • Daily Reasoning class at 7:00 PM
  • Daily commitment:
    • Before each class, take a mock test (self-made/assigned as per their process)
    • Then the session includes:
      • Discussion of the mock
      • Improvement paths based on your score

Self-Analysis and Score Submission

  • Before starting the next week properly:
    • Take a reasoning mock and comment your score
  • Targets split into steps:
    • Week 1: assess current status honestly
    • Week 2 onwards: improve step-by-step based on that

Mock Submission Specifics

  • Provide sectional mock scores:
    • SBI PO mock: score out of 30
    • IBPS PO mock: score out of 35
  • Record:
    • Mock type taken + marks obtained
  • Mentor reviews comment scores to guide improvements.

RRB Reasoning Emphasis (As Mentioned)

  • RRB PO reasoning:
    • 40 marks total
    • Puzzles expected: 20–25 marks
  • Therefore:
    • Maintain puzzle confidence so exam notifications don’t impact performance.

D) Mock Resource Advice (Platform Guidance)

  • The speaker suggests investing a little in mocks.
  • Use 2–3 platforms.
  • Search Google for: “best mock test for banking exams.”

E) Final Execution Reminders

  • Quant: daily at 8:00 AM
  • Reasoning: daily at 7:00 PM
  • Set alarms and don’t miss sessions.
  • Track scores and share in comments for feedback.
  • “Selection = party” motivation (celebration after selection).
