can i clear ibps clerk in first attempt

Correct option is A

Yes, clearing the IBPS Clerk exam in the first attempt is absolutely possible with a focused preparation strategy, consistent practice, and proper time management. Many aspirants successfully clear the exam in their first attempt by following a systematic approach.

The first step is to understand the exam pattern and syllabus thoroughly. Build a strong foundation in Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, and English Language for the Prelims and add General/Financial Awareness and Computer Aptitude for the Mains. Start preparation early, preferably 3 to 4 months before the exam, dedicating at least 6–8 hours daily to studying and practicing.

Regular practice through sectional quizzes and mock tests is crucial to developing accuracy and speed, which are essential due to the sectional time limits and negative marking. Analyze mock tests to identify weak areas and revise them repeatedly.

For the Mains, prepare current affairs of at least the last 4–6 months, focusing on banking and financial news, RBI policies, and government schemes. Reading newspapers daily helps improve both General Awareness and English comprehension skills.
