Friends this is it for IBPS SO IT Officer Scale I preparation. Feel free to ask us any queries or questions you have in the comments section below and we will have our IBOS SO IT Officer expert answer them for you.
Sir B.E Information Science is allowed for IBPS SO??
Sir i did my BE in EEE …am i eligible for the ibps so IT officer?
what is the cut-off mark for last year IBPS SO exam?
sir,can u pls tell the most important topics in quants to clear sectional cutoff in IBPS SO IT OFFICER?
We will post articles on individual subject prep for specialist officers latest by tomorrow. please check our bulletin.
Do you have any technical stuff for preparation.If yes please mail me @ patilajay296@gmail.com
seems every section is equally important.
sir, the overall cutoff is around 115, how would I score to this level when I attemp those three section for only pass marks? wouldn’t it affect the overall cutoff or the 115 that I have to score is only in professional knowledge section?
Thats the point sadhana. You need to score not just for passing in the other sections. Clearing sectional cutoffs is not enough to clear the overall cutoff.
Do you have MCQ’s for technical part
You can check the MCQs for technical part here: http://bit.ly/1KtS2ti
what is the expected cut-off mark in each category?
Hi sir/madam can l am applied ibps so.l am m.com qualify ..
yes
Thank u sir..
Your welcome Aslam
sir thank you for your guidance.
What is good score or number of attempts in professional knowledge section
Can time provided for part 1 & 2 will be different?
No it is in SBI Systems. in IBPS there will be 120 Minutes allotted for the 4 sections.
Sir u told that in sbi SO part-I is only qualifying and part-II is scroing. Is this pattern same for the ibps so as well???
Sir is there any separate cutoff marks for part 1 and part 2 in SBI SO.I mean there is separate cutt off for reasoning , quant and english…right?Just like that is there cut of for part1(togeether) and part 2???
Hi Lekshmi Let us explain.
Part I (quant reasoning english) is qualifying in nature. Meaning you need to just clear sectional cutoffs of these 3 sections. These individual sectional cutoffs are usually very low. Then comes the professional knowledge part. Here you need to kick up the attempt and the score.
So a candidate who clears sectional cutoff of quant, reasoning and english and scores good in Prof knowledge will clear the exam.
Please ask again if not clear.
Thanku sir ..
Hello, I am PavanKumar form Hyd. I am working as an SW Eng in an MNC. I have a query regarding Future of an IT officer in a Bank…
I heard a person who joined a bank as a Clerk can reach higher positions than SO
is it true?
Also, an SO can never become a Branch Manager?
wont there be Departmental Exams to move to Higher Scales? Please help to answer my queries.
Thanks much for ur help!!
Pavan it depends on the timelines you are looking at.
A clerk earns a lot less than a SO.
If he takes 15-20 years to reach to SO level position and salary, it doesn’t makes sense. regarding SO can be a BM or not, well it depends on bank policies.
Considering you are working in MNC, we assume you are doing good for yourself.
The only question to ask yourself is Do you want to work for a bank or an MNC.
Rest everything will be taken care of
Sbi it officer ke liye experience chaiye kya coz vacancy m programming experience le baare m likha h??

SBI IT has 145 vacancies. IBPS IT around 350
