3SBI vs IBPS PO — kya alag hai
SBI ka descriptive aur interview process zyada detailed hota hai, salary structure better hota hai, aur posting All India level par hoti hai. Ek hi preparation se dono exams cover ho jate hain — syllabus 90% same hai.

5Preparation strategy
- Month 1-2: Quant + Reasoning concepts (DI, puzzles — dono Mains ke heavy sections hain)
- Month 3: Banking/economy awareness + English descriptive (weekly essay + letter)
- Month 4-5: Daily mock + analysis — especially Mains level DI aur reasoning puzzles
- Month 6: Interview/group exercise prep + current affairs (last 8 months detailed)
6GD aur interview ke liye tips
- Group exercise me dominance nahi, meaningful contribution matter karta hai
- Current banking topics (UPI growth, digital banking, NPAs) pe clear opinion rakho
- Apne graduation subject ka basic zaroor revise karo — wahan se questions aate hain
7Common mistakes

- ❌ Descriptive descriptive descriptive — ise weekly practice ke bina Mains clear mushkil hai
- ✅ Dono exams (SBI PO + IBPS PO) ka registration karo — attempts max karo
- ✅ Mock analysis me 2 ghante lagao — sirf mock dena kaafi nahi
