Main ideas / lessons from the video

The speaker explains how to prepare and write IBPS PO Mains Descriptive Writing effectively, covering:

  • The new pattern of the descriptive section
  • Time management
  • Topic handling, including:
    • Reading Comprehension (RC)
    • Open-ended descriptive writing
  • Typing-speed requirements to score high
  • Common mistakes to avoid, such as:
    • interface/format/backspace issues
    • spelling and language errors

A full mock demonstration is included, with:

  • an example topic on Universal Basic Income (UBI)
  • a model approach for RC questions

Descriptive writing structure & scoring (IBPS PO Mains)

Time and marks mentioned

  • Descriptive section: 30 marks in 30 minutes
  • The discussion also references 20 marks and 25 marks, likely referring to different component breakdowns or formats.

Two-part division described

1) Reading Comprehension (RC)

  • RC includes RC questions (speaker compares formats such as 15 questions in one part and 10 questions in another; key takeaway: RC forms a large portion).
  • Usually, RC gives a set of 5 questions, but practically candidates solve ~3, because answers must be written in sufficient words.

2) Descriptive writing topic(s)

  • In the exam, you get an option among 3 topics, and you must attempt one.
  • You must write using the entered/selected topic in the exam interface, rather than writing a separate heading for another option.

What to do in the exam interface (important operational points)

The speaker demonstrates how to proceed inside the online writing interface.

Key points:

  • Create points first before writing paragraphs.
  • Backspace is allowed (the speaker explicitly confirms this).
  • Enter/line-break behavior differs between exam and mocks:
    • In the exam, if you press Enter improperly, you may not be able to add the next line as expected.
    • In mocks, multiple new lines may behave differently.
  • Avoid incorrect deletion:
    • If you keep deleting and the interface “resets,” the cursor can jump to the beginning.
    • Fix described:
      • When deleting a word/segment, delete only the extra spaces (so the cursor doesn’t shift incorrectly).

Typing speed strategy to score 20+/25

The speaker emphasizes that scoring depends heavily on typing speed, since descriptive writing must be completed within 30 minutes.

Guidance given:

  • Avoid typing “by looking” at the keyboard (slow thinking-writing cadence).
  • To score 20+, aim for at least:
    • 35–40 WPM (words per minute)
  • Speaker’s experience:
    • Currently: 60–70 WPM
    • Previously reached: 80–90 WPM

Free practice websites suggested:

  • Typing Club
  • TypeRessa (also mentioned in subtitles)

Demonstration: How to write Descriptive answer (example: UBI)

Step-by-step methodology used

1) Topic handling: Universal Basic Income (UBI)

Initial step: write points (brainstorm)

  • Write the full form and core meaning:
    • UBI = providing a fixed amount of money regularly
    • without checking income/job status
  • Suggested intro points:
    • Helps the poor / welfare support
    • Some states may run pilot schemes

2) Expand into structured bullets

Benefits

  • Reduces poverty
  • Helps with daily expenses (food, health, education, other needs)
  • Provides basic financial security

Challenges / drawbacks

  • High cost / burden on government budget
  • Risk of dependency on support
  • Concern that UBI should not replace essential sectors/programs like:
    • education, health, employment schemes (referenced as examples)

Implementation approach

  • Run UBI on a small scale first
  • Use pilot projects
  • Monitor outcomes and take public feedback
  • Decide carefully to avoid wasting resources (emphasis from the speaker)

3) Conclusion

The speaker concludes along the lines of:

  • UBI can work if properly done, using pilots, monitoring, feedback, and careful decisions about suitability.

Practical writing habits emphasized

  • Don’t spend too long generating content:
    • The speaker notes: it took him ~6 minutes, but it shouldn’t take that much.
  • During typing:
    • If spelling seems off, check only if time permits; otherwise continue.
  • After finishing:
    • If time remains, do quick error checking.

Best approach for RC (Reading Comprehension) writing

RC execution workflow described by the speaker

  • Read the question(s) carefully first to understand what’s being asked.
  • Read two paragraphs (explicitly stated).
  • Answer using what you can extract immediately from those paragraphs.
  • For framing answers, the speaker shows how to convert the prompt into bullets.

Example prompts used in the mock:

  • NEP 2020 (National Education Policy)
  • issues in higher education implementation

Common RC themes illustrated (from the mock)

  • NEP rollout concerns:
    • regulatory and compliance uncertainty
    • infrastructure/skills/capacity gaps
    • difficulties in rural and tier-two institutions
    • student concerns reflecting structural challenges

Mistakes to avoid (explicitly called out)

  • Language quality problems cost marks
    • After receiving ~22.38, the speaker’s takeaway:
      • format and content were okay, but language/meaning was unclear
      • spelling/grammar issues reduced marks
  • Spelling errors matter
    • The speaker notes multiple spelling issues in his submission reduced his score potential.
  • Don’t waste remaining time—use it for correction
    • He had only a few minutes left and suggests proofreading could improve results by ~2 marks.
  • Interface mistakes
    • Exam vs mock differences for Enter/new line behavior
    • cursor/reset problems if you delete incorrectly
  • Time sinks
    • Avoid slow, non-touch typing
    • Don’t attempt too many RC answers if only ~3 can be written well due to word-length needs

Outcome / scoring example

The speaker demonstrates a mock attempt and reports:

  • 22.38 marks (he also discusses targeting 20+)
