Last Minute Tips for IBPS Clerk III Well, preparation time is over and the time has come to showcase the hard-work you have done over last few months. IBPS Clerk III Exam is starting from tomorrow. Approx. 20 Lac candidates will be appearing for the first round of recruitment process - common written exam - for clerical Posts in 21 PSU Banks. Remember, competition has become really tough now a days and even a single mark counts. So, you should form a strategy for the exam in such a way that you are able to give your best and can achieve maximum output from your preparations. Here are few tips, you should keep in mind, while appearing for upcoming IBPS Clerk Exam. 1. Go with a Plan: One should go with proper plan - as in which section to attempt first and which section to attempt last and how much time, should one devote on each section. It is very important that candidate sticks to his/her plan (time wise) i.e. if you had decided that you will give 40 minutes to Reasoning section, you should stick to it. Reason for the same is - sometimes a particular section may be very difficult, and while attempting the same you may get carried away by devoting more time on that, it will mean that you will compromise on some other section as you will have lesser time for it. You need to remember that there is a sectional cut-off in the exam and if a particular section is tough, it will be tough for everyone and hence cut-off for that section will be low. 2. Be ready for surprises: There may be some surprises in the paper, like we have seen in IBPS PO III (Direct calculation/Simplification Questions were missing from quantitative Aptitude section). For example, paper, may be relatively tough also. But the key is stick to your plan. 3. Attempt Paper in 2 rounds: You should attempt the question paper in two rounds. While attempting each section - first do the questions, for which you are sure and which can be done in less than a minute. Leave tougher questions for the second round. This way, you will not miss any easy question in the paper and will be able to optimize the score. 4. Be careful about sectional cut-off: In IBPS Clerk III, you have to score a minimum qualifying marks in each section and qualify in overall score also. So, be careful that you do not miss on a section and try to maintain a balance across all sections. 5. Be careful about negative marking: In IBPS Clerk III, each correct answer will fetch you 1 mark, while each wrong answer will attract penalty of ¼ marks. There is no negative marking for unattempted questions. So, if you are not sure about a question, it is better to leave that question rather than attempting it wrong. 6. Start with easier section: Suppose, you are more comfortable in a particular section, attempt it first. It will give you the confidence and set the pace for the exam. Attempt most difficult part in the end. 7. Do not get stuck on a question: Never get touchy about any question and hence do not waste time if you are not able to crack it within 1-2 mins. We have seen, many candidates get stuck with questions like seating arrangement/puzzles in reasoning part and waste precious time on these. Never do that. If you feel that you might get stuck, leave it for second round. 8. Never give up during exam: Competitions like this are the tests of your nerves. You should go with a positive frame of mind to the exam hall and maintain the same throughout the exam. Many times, when candidates get stuck or find a particular section difficult, they give up. Never ever give up. Paper is not going to be easy for anyone and winner will be one who will hold the nerves till the end. 9. Take Proper Sleep Before Exam: Candidates should take a proper sleep before the exam day and should have light breakfast before the exam. 10. Documents to carry: You should take following documents along with you while going to exam centre - Call letter with your recent passport size photograph (which should be the same as uploaded in the online application form) affixed thereon. Photo identity proof such as Passport/PAN Card/ Driving License/Voter’s Card/Bank passbook with photograph/Photo Identity Proof issued by a Gazetted Officer (on official letterhead) or Photo Identity Proof issued by a People’s Representative (on official letterhead)/Identity card issued by a recognized college/University One ball point pen.
