GAURAV VISHNOI said...

hey,SIR

i would like to know whether forthcoming sbi po exam would contain only DI ques.as in sbi assoc.last month rather than latter quantitative ,or both, or cannot be said (FOR MATHS SECTION).

Also,would this maths section containing only DI applies for other po exams (like BoB).


REGARDS,
Gaurav

Varun Reddy said...

Gaurav:
Most of the questions are from DI. Not for any bank...DI is only for SBI...BoB has normal pattern.
