Bank of Baroda PO exam Pattern - 2010

Selection Procedure:
Selection will be on the basis of performance in Written test and Interview.
Written Test consists of only Objective Test. Date of Exam: 30-05-10.
Objective Test:
Sr. No
      Name of the Test
   No. of Questions
   1.
  Test of Reasoning
      75
   2.
  Quantitative Aptitude
      50
   3.
  General Socio-Economic & Banking Awareness
      50
   4.
  Marketing Aptitude
      50
   5.
  English Language
      50
 Note: Total of 275 questions with a composite time of 180 minutes. For every wrong answer you will lose 0.25 marks. You have to pass in each of the objective test with a minimum score of 40% in each section.
How many questions should I attempt in each section?
The below table shows you an example of how many questions should be attempted in order to clear the objective test.
Sr. No
      Name of the Test
   No. of Questions
  Time(min)
   1.
  Test of Reasoning
      60
      60
   2.
  Quantitative Aptitude
      40
      40
   3.
  General Socio-Economic & Banking Awareness
      35
      30
   4.
  Marketing Aptitude
      35
      20
   5.
  English Language
      35
      30
 Note: If you follow the above table you must maintain 100% accuracy. When compared to PSB PO exam pattern you will find 10 minutes more in this exam. In PSB pattern also same five sections with similar number of questions and only change is Computers test is replaced with Marketing Aptitude. No Descriptive paper in this exam. So try to score more marks in the objective test. Since how many marks are allocated for each question/section have not been known, assume that each question carries one mark. As of known to me total marks are for 300 marks. So if you get 180 marks or above you will have better chance to clear the objective test. All Sections are considered for Merit Ranking. All the best for your exam!!!.

Anand:
As a SC candidate it is sufficient to score 45%-50%.But try to score more than 50% that will helpful in your interview bcoz candidates will be selected on the performance of both written exam and Interview.

Varun Reddy said...

Pavan:
Yes only marketing.

While I appreciate your effort in throwing light into the exam pattern of Bank of Baroda, I do not think your strategy in terms of time allotment to each section is poor. I would spend just 15mins each on both Marketing Aptitude and GK, ie, 18secs per question which is more than enough to decide the answer and mark the OMR sheet as well, and slightly more time for English. That way I will be able to spend more time on Quantitative and Reasoning. With this approach there is a good chance that I will complete at least 90% of the question
