IBPS PO Mains is going to be held on 12th October 2025. In such a situation, it’s a crucial time period for revision. Why we are emphasising more on revision is because of its vast syllabus. Another important factor is that the LIC AAO Prelims and IBPS Clerk Prelims are also going to be conducted in between these 20 days. If you’re someone who is preparing for all those exams along with IBPS PO, then it is quite challenging to manage preparation, as the level of questions in Mains is quite difficult compared to prelims and to help you in that, we have come up with a 20-day revision plan for IBPS PO. But before that, we are giving a list of important topics from the main point of view.

20-day Revision tips for IBPS PO Mains 2025

In this section, we are going to discuss some revision tips that need to be followed while doing the revision for the upcoming exams. 

Prioritize Reasoning

As per the new pattern, reasoning has become the backbone of the mains paper. Puzzles, seating arrangements, input-output, and coded syllogisms are not just important, but they’re scoring as well. Practice them daily. Don’t just solve questions, analyse your approach; how you handle a particular question is also very important. Are you taking too long? Are you missing patterns? This is the time when you can focus on the concepts and the approach, along with where you lack? 

Make Data Interpretation Your Strength

DI is no longer just about numbers; it’s about logic, speed, and approximation. Caselets, missing DI, and arithmetic-based sets are common. Practice with a mix of moderate and difficult sets. Use a timer. Your goal should be to solve with accuracy under pressure. One of the most important things while solving the DIs is the choice of questions. What are your strengths and weaknesses? Are you able to solve caselets in 4-5 minutes, and that too with 90% accuracy? Then it is fine, but if you’re not able to do that, then it is just a waste of time. So the choice of question is also very important. 

Don’t Ignore General Awareness

This section can make or break your score. Focus on the last 6 months of current affairs, especially banking and the economy. RBI updates, government schemes, and financial institutions should be at your fingertips. Use sectional mocks to test retention and recall power in terms of general awareness.

English Is More Than Grammar

Reading comprehension, para jumbles, and cloze tests require a good grasp of context and vocabulary. Read editorials. Practice RCs with inference-based questions. Revise grammar rules, but don’t overdo it; focus on the application of those grammar rules. Practising questions in English is as important as any other section. As it helps much more when it comes to error detection questions. RC practice will help in the descriptive section as well.

Descriptive Writing Needs Practice

You can’t wing the essay and comprehension section. Practice writing on topics like financial inclusion, digital banking, and social issues. Track your time. Structure matters, and so does clarity. Use editorials to build content and vocabulary. You need to write a comprehension in under 10-12 minutes, and this requires practice with knowledge. This can only be done by practising at least two essays on the assigned days. If you want guidance, you can join our IBPS PO Descriptive writing course, where you’ll get expert guidance and review of the essays written by you. What needs to be improved, what should you focus on and a lot more.

Use Mock Tests Strategically

Don’t just take mocks, analyse them thoroughly. Identify weak areas. Are you losing marks in DI? Is your reasoning accuracy low? Note them down and work on them. Take at least 5 full-length mocks in the last 5 days. As they simulate real exam conditions. They will help you in building stamina and managing pressure that you might face in the exam hall.

Merge Preparation for Other Exams Smartly

If you’re also preparing for LIC AAO or IBPS Clerk, don’t panic. Most topics overlap. Use common areas like DI and English to your advantage. Just adjust the difficulty level. For PO Mains, focus on high-level reasoning and DI.

Final 3 Days: Revise, do not learn any new topic

In the last 3 days, go easy. Revise short notes, formulas, and descriptive formats. Don’t touch new topics. Focus on confidence, clarity, and exam strategy. Sleep well. Eat well. You’ve done the work, now trust yourself and don’t overdo anything; otherwise, you will get exhausted, which is not good for the exam day performance.
