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. Master the 20-Minute Speed Funnel

SBI PO has no sectional cutoffs, but overall cutoffs (58–65) require high-tempo banking of non-puzzle & formulaic math marks in the first 8 minutes.

2. Mains High-Weightage Multipliers

In SBI PO Mains, Data Analysis and Reasoning contain 2-mark questions. Triage questions by marks-per-minute value rather than serial order.

3. General Awareness Mastery (60 Marks)

GA carries 60 marks in Mains. Focus on RBI balance sheets, banking ratios, and regulatory amendments from the last 6 months.

📊 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.
