UIIC AO Previous Year Question Paper

Once they have completed the syllabus, practising these papers can help candidates evaluate their preparation and identify areas that need more improvement.
Preparation Tips for the New UIIC AO 3-Stage Pattern
Earlier, UIIC AO selection was a single online exam + interview. Now it’s a three-stage process: Prelims, Mains, and Interview, similar to SBI PO/IBPS PO. This means candidates need a longer, better preparation strategy instead of one all-in-one push.
- Start GA/insurance awareness early: Since Mains likely tests it in more depth than before, build a daily reading habit (insurance sector news, IRDAI updates, government schemes) rather than last-minute revision.
- Practice full-length Mains-pattern papers, not just Prelims-level questions; the difficulty jump between the two stages needs separate practice.
- Build a descriptive/computer-typing habit early if Mains includes a descriptive/typed component (common in insurance AO exams); typing speed and structuring answers under time pressure needs practice.
- Track official notification for exact section-wise marks and duration once released, since exact weightage may differ from other insurance AO exams.
- Go through other Bank/Insurance exams and question papers to build resilience and knowledge depth. It will also help in getting familiarised with the real-time exam.
