The Regional Rural Bank Examination conducted by IBPS is one of the competitive exams in the country. In 2019, it was attempted by almost 30 lakhs candidates for the PO and Office Assistant position. In such a fiercely competitive examination, you should follow every tactic to stay ahead of others. One such tactic is solving IBPS RRB Previous Year Papers. This article explores how solving previous year papers can help in your IBPS RRB exam preps.

Get Familiar with Exam Pattern and Question Papers

For those appearing for the IBPS RRB exam for the first time, solving the previous year’s question paper is a great way to get started. You’ll get familiar with the exam pattern and syllabus.

The RRB examination is a two-stage examination, mains, and prelims. The syllabus of the mains exam is pretty much similar to any other banking examination conducted by IBPS. But the prelims paper is vastly different. Furthermore, the exam pattern is different for both the Probationary Officer and Assistant post.

So if you’re attempting IBPS RRB for the first time, there are a lot of things to grasp and get familiar with.

For the Scale-I Prelims examination, you’ll have the following exam pattern:

Reasoning – 40 questions, 40 marks
Numerical Ability – 40 questions, 40 marks

For Scale-I Mains, you’d have to follow the below pattern:

Reasoning – 40 questions, 50 marks
General Awareness – 40 questions, 40 marks
Numerical Ability – 40 questions, 50 marks
English Language/Hindi Language – 40 questions, 40 marks
Computer Knowledge – 40 questions, 20 marks

Going through the previous year’s question papers, you’ll get acquainted with the questions.

Assess Your Competence

One of the reasons why RRB and IBPS exams are tough is that you have to cover many subjects. For RRB exams, you’d have to cover as many as 7 different subjects: reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English language, Hindi language, computer literacy, general awareness, and financial awareness.

To crack the examination, you need to be knowledgeable about each of the subjects reasonably equally. By solving previous year’s questions, you’d realize where you need to improve. If you lack general awareness, you can invest time in reading the latest news and GA books. But you can only come to this realization if you solve previous years’ question papers.

Manage Your Time More Efficiently

Knowledge of vast subjects is not the only reason why IBPS RRB examinations are tough. Another reason is that of time limitation. For the Scale I IBPS RRB Officer examination, you get 45 minutes to solve 80 questions in the Prelims. For the Mains, you have 2 hours in your hand to solve 200 questions. So, that’s less than a minute per question.

By going through the IBPS RRB Previous Years papers, you’d understand how much time you need to invest in each question to complete the papers successfully. The more efficient you are, the more questions you’ll be able to attend.

Pick Up Ideas and Important Questions

By going over the previous year’s question papers, you’ll be able to spot certain question types that are repetitive. Which means they come in the exams every year. Although there is no evidence or stats in this regard, experienced aspirants will tell you they likely exist. You’ll only be able to spot them if you go over 4-5 years of previous question papers. Put more effort in solving those types of questions specifically. With this technique, you’ll have an advantage over those who didn’t follow it.

Along the preparation, you’ll also pick up real-life ideas that will help you in your preps. This is subjective and will vary from person to person. There are many sources to get the IBPS RRB previous year paper, but you should download from reliable sources. The more questions you practice, the better your chances of cracking the IBPS RRB exam in 2021.

Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu Exposes Fake Twitter Account Spreading Rumors on Exam Results, Shares Screen Shot On Social Media

It was another case of fake news in which a rumor spread that the results of Assam Higher Secondary exams had been released. The fake news spread quickly, requiring the intervention of Assam’s Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu, who exposed the details of a fake Twitter account spreading rumors about exam results.

On Friday, Assam’s Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu, took to social media to debunk the fake news that the Secondary Exams results of Assam had been released. The Minister clarified that the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) and Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) are responsible for declaring the exam results, and they will be declared according to their predetermined schedule.

Additionally, Minister Ranoj Pegu shared screenshots of the fake Twitter account bearing his name and allegedly spreading false news about the announcement of results for the HSLC & HS Examination, 2024. The screenshots revealed that miscreants had attempted to spread the fake news that the results of the Secondary Exams would be declared on Saturday, April 20, 2024.

Minister Ranoj Pegu also clarified that the claims were entirely false and once again exposed how easily such false information can spread on social media. This underscores the need for readers to remain vigilant and verify information from credible sources.

SEBA and AHSEC are tasked with conducting the Class 10 and Class 12 exams, respectively. The Class 10 matric exams concluded on March 4, and the Class 12 higher secondary exams concluded on March 13. In 2023, the Assam board Class 10 results were declared on May 22, and Class 12 HS results on June 16. The results will be made available on the official websites of the board — sebaonline.org, resultsassam.nic.in, and ahsec.assam.gov.in.

Last year, the pass percentage for Class 10 was 72.69 percent. The pass percentage for the Class 12 Arts stream was 70.12 percent, 79.57 percent for the Commerce stream, and 84.96 percent in the Science stream.

The Assam Board of Secondary Education is expected to release the Assam Board 10th Result 2024 during the first week of May 2024. However, no official announcement has been issued by the Assam Board yet.

NASA Providing Internship Opportunities: Check Last Date To Apply, Eligibility Criteria, and Other Details

The legendary National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, is currently looking to appoint interns!

The Fall 2024 Internship Session is currently being opened by the leading space agency and inviting applications from interested individuals, reported NASA.

Interested candidates and students can apply for the internship provided by NASA on intern.nasa.gov., their official website.

NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement on an annual basis accepts enrollment of over 2,000 students via this opportunity.

Under NASA’s pathways programme, recent graduates and students are allowed to apply for “paid internships that are direct pipelines to full-time employment at NASA”.

NASA provides internship opportunities for non-STEM students as well.

Even a virtual "launch" can get scrubbed. 🙅‍♀️

Our fall 2024 internship applications are extended until Friday, Apr. 12 and will close at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Apply: https://t.co/pUmAlqhkvB https://t.co/tzBpQH9sXc— NASA Internships (@NASAInterns) April 5, 2024

The leading space agency announced,

“A common misconception is that NASA only offers engineering internships. Please know that we have opportunities for students who are not majoring in engineering. NASA needs employees with a variety of knowledge and skills. At NASA, our engineers, mathematicians, scientists, accountants, writers, IT specialists, project managers, program analysts, and many other professionals work together to break barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible.”

NASA further added,

“Non-engineering interns may support a variety of business and program management work, including procurement, budgeting, accounting, information technology, and security.”

Eligibility Criteria of NASA Internship

The eligibility criteria for the internship is also an important factor to be taken care of. To apply for the internship, candidates must hold US citizenship and have a minimum GPA from 3.0 to 4.0 on a scale of five.

Candidates of 16 years or older can apply for the internship. The last date to fill up the application form for NASA’s internship programme is April 12, 2024.
