IBPS PO 2026 Complete Preparation Strategy – Month-Wise Study Plan

Cracking the IBPS PO exam requires a combination of speed, accuracy, and clear conceptual understanding. In this guide, we lay down a month-wise preparation plan designed by senior banking faculty at ACS Academy Pune.

Phase 1: Concept Building (Months 1-2)

Focus on clarifying fundamental concepts in Quantitative Aptitude and Logical Reasoning. Learn short techniques for simplification, percentage changes, number series, and basic puzzles. Read newspapers daily to build your vocabulary for the English section.

Phase 2: Speed and Accuracy (Months 3-4)

Start solving sectional tests. Practice at least 20 puzzles and 30 data interpretation questions daily. Focus on time management. Use topic tests to identify your weak areas and work on them immediately.

Phase 3: Mock Tests & Strategy (Months 5-6)

Give at least 2 full-length mock tests weekly. Analyze each test thoroughly: check the questions you solved incorrectly or skipped, and review the explanations. Focus on selecting the right questions to attempt during the exam.
