IBPS SO Prelims 2026 — Master Strategy & Topic Weightage

📖 Open Full Textbook & Study Notes →

Compiled from 10-year official paper patterns and previous-year shift analysis. Review the exact topic weightage below to decide your attempt sequence and study focus.

🏆 The Topper 3-Step Execution Plan

1. Speed on the guaranteed models

80% of every paper repeats previous-year models. Drill them until each takes under 40 seconds — that alone clears sectional cutoffs.

2. Accuracy over attempts

At −0.25 per wrong answer, 65 clean attempts beat 85 rushed ones. Our +25% harder mocks make the real exam feel easy.

3. The last-10-minute sweep

Reserve the final minutes of each section for flagged questions — our mock engine's palette trains exactly this habit.

📊 Topic-Wise Previous Year Weightage & Attack Strategy

Work top-down inside each section. ① Must-Do topics form 60–70% of your passing score.

Weightage metrics updating after the latest exam cycle.

⏱️ Minute-by-Minute Hall Execution

Plan 1English (20 min): fillers & error spotting in 8 min, cloze in 5, RC last 7.

Plan 2Quant (20 min): simplification/series/quadratic in 8 min (15 Qs), then arithmetic 7 min, one best DI set 5 min.

Plan 3Reasoning (20 min): inequality/syllogism/misc in 7 min (15 Qs), then 2 most solvable puzzle/seating sets.

🎯 Cutoff-Beating Safe Target Bands

Target 1Prelims safe zone: 70–78 attempts at 90% accuracy (recent cutoff trends).

Target 2Sectional safety first: 8+ in each section before maximizing anywhere.

Target 3Skip rules: any puzzle not cracked in 90 seconds of setup gets flagged and skipped.
