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.
