They involve questions about arranging people, events, or tasks based on specific time-based parameters like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Days of the week (Monday to Sunday)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Months (January to December)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time slots (9:00 AM to 10:00 AM)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specific dates (like 1st to 10th of a month)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example of Scheduling Puzzle:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven people \u2013 A, B, C, D, E, F, and G \u2013 attend a workshop on seven different days of the week starting from Monday to Sunday, but not necessarily in the same order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>C attends on Wednesday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only two persons attend between C and G.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D attends immediately before B.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A attends after E but not on Saturday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>F does not attend on Monday or Sunday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B does not attend on Friday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Steps to solve it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Draw a row for 7 days \u2192 Mon to Sun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place C on Wednesday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Count 2 spaces from C to place G.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use clues like \u201cimmediately before,\u201d \u201cafter but not on,\u201d etc., to arrange the others.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difficulty Level of Scheduling Puzzles in IBPS PO Exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The scheduling puzzle questions asked in the IBPS PO exam are moderate to difficult level. Below, we have provided a bifurcation of the difficulty levels of different types of scheduling puzzles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Puzzle Type<\/th><th>Difficulty<\/th><th>Tip<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Day-Based<\/td><td>Easy to Moderate<\/td><td>Focus on unique days and linking words.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Month-Date Based<\/td><td>Moderate to Hard<\/td><td>Use double table format (You have <strong>2 or 3 sets of variables<\/strong> to track).<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mixed Variables (Person + Day + Profession)<\/td><td>Hard<\/td><td>Start with fixed placements.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Time Slot Based<\/td><td>Moderate<\/td><td>Split days into shifts or sessions.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of IBPS PO Scheduling Puzzles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are mainly four types of scheduling puzzles that are asked in the IBPS PO exam. They are named as day-based puzzles, month-based, or date-based puzzles, time-slot based puzzles, or day\/month combination puzzles, and puzzles with\/without variables (profession, colour, hobbies, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type 1: Day-Based Puzzles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The questions based on day-based puzzles involve people doing activities on different days (e.g., A to G do different tasks from Monday to Sunday).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven friends \u2014 A, B, C, D, E, F, and G \u2014 attend classes on <strong>different days of the week<\/strong>, starting from <strong>Monday to Sunday<\/strong>. Each friend attends the class on a different day. The following information is known:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A attends the class <strong>on Wednesday<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only <strong>one person attends between A and B<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C attends the class <strong>immediately after G<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Only one person attends between F and E<\/strong>, who attends <strong>before F<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D attends the class on <strong>Friday<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type 2: Month-Based Scheduling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of puzzles involve events held on different dates in different months (e.g., 7 people attended a seminar in February, March, and June on either the 6th or 10th).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight people \u2014 A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H \u2014 attend seminars in <strong>four different months<\/strong>: January, March, June, and August. In each month, <strong>two people attend<\/strong>, and the seminars are scheduled on either the <strong>5th or 22nd<\/strong> of the month. No two people attend on the same date in the same month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following information is known:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>C attends in <strong>March<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only <strong>one person attends between C and A<\/strong>, who attends on the <strong>22nd<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B attends immediately before D<\/strong>, but not in the same month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Only one person attends in August<\/strong> on the 5th.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>G attends in the same month as H.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>F does not attend in June<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E attends on 5th of June<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type 3: Date-Based Scheduling Puzzle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of puzzles involve events happening on different dates, and you need to organize them to answer the question based on this puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight persons \u2013 A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H \u2013 were born in either <strong>January or February<\/strong>, on either the <strong>12th or 25th<\/strong> of the month. Each date and month has exactly <strong>one person<\/strong>. No two persons share the same date or month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following information is known:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A was born on <strong>12th January<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only <strong>one person<\/strong> was born between A and B.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D was born <strong>immediately after<\/strong> B.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C was born on <strong>25th February<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>F was born <strong>two persons after<\/strong> E (not necessarily in the same month).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>G was born <strong>just before H<\/strong>, and both were born in <strong>February<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type 3: Time Slot-Based Scheduling Puzzle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of puzzle is based on the events happening on different time slots, and you need to organize them such that you answer all the questions given according to the puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six persons \u2014 A, B, C, D, E, and F \u2014 have interviews scheduled on the same day at six different time slots: <strong>9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM, and 2:00 PM<\/strong>. The order of interviews is from <strong>earliest (9:00 AM) to latest (2:00 PM)<\/strong>. The following information is known:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A\u2019s interview is scheduled <strong>immediately before C\u2019s<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only <strong>one person\u2019s interview is between D and A<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B is not interviewed at 9:00 AM<\/strong> or <strong>2:00 PM<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E is interviewed immediately after B<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D is interviewed after 12:00 PM<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note: To make this type of puzzle more difficult, they are asked with two or more variables like people, colour, profession, city, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.practicemock.com%2Fs1pricing%2Findex.php%3Fc%3Dpremium&amp;ref=13641\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banking-Plus-Course-1.png\" alt=\"banking Plus Course\" class=\"wp-image-148628\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IBPS PO Scheduling Puzzles Questions Asked in Exams <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to solve the scheduling puzzle questions given here, and check the detailed solution in the free PDF provided below, and also get more questions with solutions in the PDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directions (1-5):&nbsp;<\/strong>Answer the questions based on the information given below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exams of 10 subjects is held on different dates among 12<sup>th<\/sup>, 14<sup>th<\/sup>, 15<sup>th<\/sup>, 17<sup>th<\/sup>, 20<sup>th<\/sup>, 21<sup>st<\/sup>, 24<sup>th<\/sup>, 25<sup>th<\/sup>, 26<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;and 28<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;of August.
