Are you searching for some prep materials for IDBI exam - the sample papers & books? Than you are in the right place - this blog post precisely gives you that - it points you to the sources of the sample papers as well as names the books that you can use for preparation of IDBI recruitment exam for two positions - Asst. Manager position and Executive (Contractual) position. Two of my previous blog post titled: IDBI Executive Recruitment 2012 Notification, Forms & Eligibility & IDBI Manager Recruitment Notification tells you what are the job opportunities for the two positions and how to apply for the same.
But before that, let us find out about the pattern of IDBI Bank Exam.
IDBI Bank Exam Pattern:
What's more, even the pattern of written exam (consisting of objective type questions) is also similar, with same test sections as the comparison below would show:
Exam pattern/format/scheme for IDBI Exam for Executives (Contractual):
1.0 Test of Reasoning.
2.0 Test of Quantitative Aptitude.
3.0 Test of English Language.
Exam pattern/format/scheme for IDBI Exam for Asst. Managers:
1.0 Test of Reasoning,
2.0 Test of Quantitative Aptitude.
3.0 Test of English Language.
4.0 Test of General & Financial Awareness.
As you can see above, only one test paper section is extra for IDBI Exam for Asst. Managers: the Test of General & Financial Awareness.
Reasons for similarity in above two IDBI exams can be attributed to the fact that IDBI is looking for almost same set of eligibilities for the Asst. Manager positions and Executive (Contractual) positions - graduation in any discipline. Only minimum marks for Asst. Manager positions is higher - 60% in graduation, compared to just pass in graduation for Executive (Contractual) positions.
How many questions are going to be asked in which test sections? What is the duration? This is not disclosed in IDBI recruitment notification. But you can take take the cue from the above exam pattern of IBPS CWE for PO.
