Dear YPIP aspirants

Most Comprehensive Guide on State Bank Tests (OG1 & 2) conducted by IBP

Total Marks: 100

Total Time: 120 minutes
Test Medium: All MCQs
Negative Marking: No

First of all you should know that there are 3 different sections i.e.

a. English Section (40)

b. Maths & IQ section (30)
c. General Knowledge and Current Affairs Section (30)

You have to pass all three sections seperately, alongwith passing the test as a whole. The passing
percentage of each section and aggregate (total) passing percentage is decided by merit of every batch.
No one is sure what will be the merit. But it varies between 60 to 75 for each section and 70 to 80 as a
whole.

If you pass the test as a whole but fail in any section, you are failed.

Likewise if you pass all the sections but your total marks are lower that the aggregate passing marks, you
still are not qualified.

Now come to the topic
