(based on
previous paper pattern)
In 2015,
SBI has reintroduced the preliminary exam, as a tool of elimination. This
will ensure that only serious students will appear for the Main exam. The
preliminary exam is only for one hour and expected to be at lower level of
difficulty. Please refer to our ‘update & links’ link for the
time, marks and so on.etc. However, the overall pattern of SBI PO 2015 is
expected to be in the following lines.
English
Language

standards is expected in questions, and difficulty level may not be higher, but
in line with IBPS examinations, easy for the serious student to answer, without
much difficulty. We do not expect any surprises in English section.
Reasoning

2014, non verbal questions were absent, which may continue this time
also. However, we may expect surprises. Questions on Sitting arrangement
and puzzles will be of time consuming nature.
Data
Interpretation
Questions

may form part of the the paper. The calculations will be lengthy and time
consuming, and hence constant practice is needed to tackle the questions. In
2014, questions on probability were absent, but we cannot rule out questions on
the topic this year.

affairs, Indian Economy, currency and awards are also expected.
