You all know about RRB PO. What are the five reasons ? Why, we can say that cracking RRB PO is easier than SBI and IBPS PO ?
So, let's list my five steps here . The first step is no requirement of English. Yes, whether it's the RRB PO Prelims or Mains. If you 're not comfortable with English, you have no need to worry. The Prelims exam only covers reasoning and math. Your RRB pre-exams only cover reasoning and math. You can attempt them in English or Hindi medium. You can also attempt the regional language. And in your main exam, you have the option of either English or Hindi. If you're not fluent in English, you might be feeling uneasy. If your Hindi is better, you can tick that option and choose a Hindi subject.
IBPS RRB PO Prelims Question Paper :
In the Mains exam, you have five subjects : Reasoning, Math, Computer, and General Knowledge, and you can choose one of these options. So, there's no English requirement. If you're fluent in English, you'll need to do so. If you're not comfortable, you can definitely apply for and crack RRB PO. You don't get this opportunity in SBI and IBPS PO because their prelims requires English, Math, and Reasoning, and English is compulsory in the Mains as well.
IBPS RRB PO Exam is easy or tough :
Let's look at the second reason why cracking RRB PO is easier than SBI and IBPS PO. So, the second is also very important. There's no descriptive. Descriptive is the paper that starts immediately after your Mains. SBI and IBPS PO have a descriptive exam just after the Mains exam , and its marks are generally added . So, you get rid of that too here . There's no description in RRB PO. There's only Prelims, Mains, and PO, followed by an interview.
If I were to talk about RRB Clerk, there's no interview either. So this is a very good opportunity. Students who are nervous about the descriptive paper need to prepare for it separately . Your reading abilities must be very good. Only then can you score well in the descriptive paper. This is a very good option for you, as you won't have a descriptive question in the RRB PO, whereas you will have to take it in the SRB IPS PM PO. You have to take it. You have to prepare for it and pass it.
So, what 's the third reason? The third is the state-wise cut-off. Yes, listen carefully, RRB PO is the only PO exam where your state- wise cut-off is determined. In IBPS PO, SBI PO , your cut-off is determined at the pan-India level. Okay, if a student from UP has done well, no matter how many, they will get the first opportunity. If someone has done well from Maharashtra, they won't look at who is from this state, who is from that state,
How many vacancies are there in that state ? How many vacancies are there in that state? What will they do here ?
They will filter out those students who pass the cut-off. But RRB PO is the only PO probationary officer exam where your state-wise cut-off is determined. If someone has applied from UP , the UP cut-off will be different. The Maharashtra cut-off will be different. Your Rajasthan cut-off will be different. And so this is another great opportunity for kids who want to reduce competition and commit to students from their own state. There's another advantage, kids. You also get to take advantage of the vacancies.
For example , if a good vacancy opens up in your state, you have a better chance of getting selected compared to a state with fewer vacancies. Let's move on. Your option four is also related to this. So, option four is your state-wise vacancies. RRB PO is the only PO exam in all our bank exams, whether in the private or public sector. RRB PO is the only one that releases state-wise vacancies. Each state has its own vacancies. You have to fill out the form from that state, and your competition is within that state only.
The cut-off is determined accordingly, and this happens only in RRB PO exams.
This is not seen in IBPS, SBI, or any other PO or AAO exams. So, here's another piece of good news : state-wise vacancies and state- wise cutoffs will be announced. Let's see what's next. So, no group discussions. Yes, a very important point. There will be group exercises and debates. There will be group discussions. I've never participated. And what if they start talking in English there ? So, kids, there's no need for group discussions in RRB PO. Meaning, if you've taken the Mains exam, you just have to go and take the interview. You don't have any group discussions there. But in SBI and IBPS PO, there is group discussion.
Generally, it happens. In SBI PO, it always happens. IBPS PO sometimes calls it a group exercise, sometimes a group discussion, or sometimes even gives you a reprieve. But they've also introduced a psychometric test. So, this psychometric test isn't even considered in RRB PO. So, those were my five reasons why RRB PO is easier than IBPS and SBI PO exams. So, those who haven't filled out the form, go fill out the form now. And if you want to prepare with me , starting on the 19th of this month, I'm bringing the Sankalp Batch. Reasoning for PO & CLASS for RRB It's my responsibility. We just have to get full marks here. For RRB PO, SBI, and IBPS PO. If I also show the exam level, I can add one more reason : the RRB PO exam level is easier. You can see for yourself the memory-based paper. Watch the PO Mains, watch the PO Prelims, and compare the IBPS and SBI exams. So, I hope these reasons are enough to motivate you to prepare for RRB PO.
