I’m aiming for IBPS PO 2026 and this will be my first attempt. The problem is my BSc final semester exams are from 19th May to 25th May, so I can’t fully focus on banking prep before that.

From what I’ve heard, IBPS PO prelims will probably be held around August. So realistically I’ll get around 2.5–3 months of serious preparation after my exams.

My question is — is this enough time to crack IBPS PO in the first attempt if I study seriously every day?

If yes, can someone please guide me on:
- How many hours I should study daily
- Which subjects to prioritize first
- Best strategy for Quant, Reasoning and English
- When to start mocks
- Whether current affairs from May onward will be enough
- Mistakes beginners usually make

I really don’t want to waste more time feeling confused or overthinking whether it’s possible or not. I just want a practical roadmap from people who have actually prepared for IBPS PO.

Any honest advice would help a lot.

I have seen this line on many places, but what if the other person like does not even bother about the absence ? Or they do actually but don’t show it ..

. Like it’s been two days we have not talked , because she wanted me to distance and focus on myself instead of her and the other person is normal, Posting stories and living normally so how will I know if they are actually missing us.Like she could maybe ask how was I doing or have a small talk

I am really confused

I think I messed this up and I’m trying to understand where I went wrong.

There’s this girl I really care about, and our situation is a bit complicated. We were in a relationship before, but it became very toxic. We loved each other, but we also fought a lot. I would try to understand her, but I always felt like she didn’t really try to understand me. Eventually, she broke up with me.

After about 4 months, we started talking again as friends. The hate between us was gone, things felt lighter, and we were on better terms. We even had this understanding that if I could get a stable job by July 2027, around 80k or more, then we could think about marriage. She’s older than me, so there’s family pressure on her side too.

Then one day I made a dark joke, and she got really upset and furious. After that, she broke that whole agreement. Since then, I’ve still been trying to be as good as possible, thinking maybe I could win her back slowly.

But recently, things started feeling off again.

I was putting in a lot of effort, genuinely thinking about her, trying to make her happy, replying fast, being there whenever she needed. In my head, that’s what you’re supposed to do when you like someone.

But over time, I started feeling like it wasn’t equal. She would take hours to reply, sometimes not reply at all, and when I brought it up, she just said she’s like that with everyone.But this was before she broke the agreement too

Still, it didn’t sit right with me. It felt like I was giving way more than I was getting back.Few days ago I mentioned the inequalities to her and she replied who am I to ask for those effort “you’re just a friend stay as a friend don’t cross the boundaries”After that she blocked me on Instagram the same day when I tried to solve the agruement like why I was feeling that way ,maybe it got too heavy on her idk but she blocked me on insta that day so I made calls repeatedly to her begging her to unblock me Cz it really feels uneasy for me she did so and unblocked too

But

Then I noticed she hid her Instagram stories from me. That really got to me. Not because of the stories themselves, but because it made me feel like I’m being kept at a distance or not trusted. So I asked her about it.

That’s when things got worse.When I said about this

She said it’s her choice and I can’t control everything she does. And then she told me if I send one more message, she’ll block me everywhere.

That hit hard.

I wasn’t trying to control her, I just wanted to understand and feel valued. But maybe the way I went about it made her feel pressured, I don’t know.

Now I’m just sitting here thinking:

Did I care too much?

Did I push too hard?

Or was I just expecting something that was never really there?

I feel stupid for putting in so much effort when it clearly wasn’t being matched. At the same time, I can’t just switch off how I feel.

I’m not even angry at her. I’m just… disappointed and confused.

If anyone’s been in a similar situation, I’d really appreciate some honest perspective.otherwise you can give me some advices

The main thing is I really want to get a job and marry her I can’t see her marry anyone else but these things are eating me up I try to be good and become maybe the bad one
