Shiksha Reported live from one of the IBPS RRB Clerk exam centres in Faridabad. Check below the feedback shared by students regarding the overall difficulty level of the exam.
Ankit said, "The overall exam paper was good. The difficulty level was easy to moderate. Both the Quants and Reasoning sections were not hard. Majorly, questions were based on the IBPS RRB syllabus. There were three to four puzzles in Reasoning. There were also questions asked from Series, Syllogism, Inequality, etc. In Quant, two DI questions were asked. There were no questions on Quadratic Equations. Instead, questions were asked from Simplification. In Quant, DI questions were lengthy."
Naveen said, "The exam paper was easy. Reasoning section was easy but the questions were time-consuming. In Quant, maximum questions were asked from DI. The DIs were graph-based and table-based. No questions from Caselet were asked. The simplification was easy but Arithmetic questions were tricky. Compared to last year, the paper was time-consuming."
