I have done 33 q REsoning and maths are with 95 % accuracy. but GA was quite tough. ?Hardly I attempte 30-35 in GA English was average An d attenpted 42 in english ..

    According to my exp. no one can predict Mon. % for getting a call for interview I It may be 58% -65 %
    %

    paper was challenging.cutoff in no case will go higher than 100.with sectional cutoff of a section or two going below 20, may be around 18.a score above 120 is very good and above 135 is excellent.

    rajesh,,, can u please let know, how can you say the cut-offs so precisely. u have writn - minimum qualifying mark for SBI PO---
    DI--15, Eng--20, reasoning--18, gk--18.
    this has given hopes to me as i did badly in DI.
    also, can anyone please tell (with surety) whether we need to score 40% in each section of objective test or it will b on percentile only..

      Hey Chethan,

      I think we both are on the same boat. I read the information booklet again. Minimum 40% in every section is not mentioned but I am not expecting a very low cut off.. The cut off may be 18 or 19... so it's like touch and go. By the way, do you know how we can get the recent question paper ( 18 April 2010 )from the net.Because if that's possible we can clearly get to know our score and where we stand. Your thoughts on this!

    it was first mentioned by bank that there will be only data interpretation but they ask the questions on quantitative aptitude which is misleading candidates

    hi to all and gudluck for result......

    according to me ga was balanced i mean some questions were easy and some were tough i have scored approx 35+ and english was ok i've done 35+,but yeah di and reasoning were time consuming....descriptive paper was okie types not much tough but yeah da comprehension para was little bit tough....essay topic- 1)the day everything went wrong
    2) characteristics of economic recession
    3)bank's manufactures of money
    4)media moulding the public opinion ....there were two more topics.......
    in precis writing para given on inflation......

    hi fnds
    i hd attended 40 qstns in english, 45 in reasoning, 35 in DI and 45 in Mktng, comp &G.A with 90% accuracy...i had attended 165/200.the descriptive paper was ok. bt comprehensive part was little bit tough for me.i think 4 dis exam descripitive mrks will be added to our total mrk. in all other exams it will be taken only 4 qualifying. so tough competetion is there.me too was not at all confident abt the results. as we all knw that it is an all india exam so inorder to qaulify in the written part mere cut off marks is not enough. only those candiates who secure high marks will be qualified.lets hope 4 d best.

      rest assure you would get call letter. i have attempted 117 question with 90 % accuracy. as DI was a little bit time consuming and GA was tough and there are great no. of seats.
      considering all this you have done a great jobnad you might be in merit list.

      
      
18. LOKESH said:
    

    hi.. I think paper was moderate but time consuming.cut off will be 40% in each section.. and not more than 50% overall.

    
    
19. gourav said:

    Hi...
    my attempts are -
    Reasoning(43)
    English(39)
    G.K(38)
    D.I(36)
    i think paper was balanced and di was time consuming ,cut off should be around 125 marks.

    I think so it was the toughtest PO exam ever ....... Option of DI were very nearby and apporoxmatly so very hard to get on answer by short trick.

      hi guys -
      My attempts were 28 in GK+mar , 30 in maths , 35 in Di , 35 in eng. expecting an accuracy of 85 % at least.total = 108 - (20/4) = 103+ (expected).

      ne way guys-the thing is after every exam ppl say that the will score gr8 marks mostly due irrational exuberance. but trust me most ppl score way below than what they actually predict.
      i noticed that genral consensus on the thread is 100+.
      so by my theory cutoff wud be around 90. also u must consider that scoring 90 with -ve marking, modreate level of difficulty & just 2 hrs time is no mean feat. so guys cheer up !!

    this was my third exam, the exam was well directed for finding out the right person for the job. But, the main problem was time management. i have attempted 30 in english, 30 in reasoning, approx. 40 in GA and 25 in DI. my accuracy is also good. but , i am not much confident about getting interview call despite haing more than 90% accuracy. According to me , one needs to atleast attemt more than 60% question to get a call.
    if anybody have different experience and does not comply with my thoughts, he/she is invited to share his/her thoughts.

    Don't great expectation!. In my opnion atleast one should score above 25 to have an hope of clearing the sectional cut-offs. Reasoning and DI are time-consuming. GK was okay. English was cream cake. Let left to God's will. Let us sincerely pray that may i will clear SBI PO Exam 2010.

    i think the english portion was difficult..in objective as well as in descriptive.

    
    
32. RAVI said:
    

    Sudan... as per ur information u ve scored 110 approx. The cut off in each section is based on the max. score obtained by students. So we cant expect right now. Some times bank may decide the cut off as 10 marks r sometimes 30 marks. So take the chance. If u succeed b happy r not sbi may recruit 5000 POs in July tentatively. Go ahead for that.

    The exam was quite easy. GK section was concentrated on financial and sports which is, i feel, good. I started from the paper from last to first ie English, GK, Reasoning and DI. DI was EASY but lots of calculation for each problem required.which was time consuming. my score wont be much different in DI than Sudan above. The essay topics were - Paragraph topics -Features of recession, A day when everything went wrong
    Risks of trading in stock market, Role of advertising in moulding customers
    Letter topics- Application for leave to the manager for a family function,
    Letter to editor commenting on some social issue and our responsbility towards the same.
    Passage given for precis was on inflation. had to be written in 150 words. original was almost thrice in length.
    I hope this info is useful for all aspirants. I too have given the exam and suffered due to devoting less time to DI. Please be careful my friends and I would suggest to keep atleast 40 min for DI. All the best.

    HI, SECTIONAL CUTT OFF(40%) IS REQUIRED IN EVERY SECTION. IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN THE INFORMATION BROCHURE. ALL THE BEST

    
    
    • ronnie said:
      

      dear Mukesh,
      its not 40%.its percentile.there is huge difference between them.

    Hi I've scored 35+ in English , 30+ in reasoning, 25+ in GA but only 19 in DI( 20 right and 2 wrong ). I thought one should get minimum 20 in every section but I find out that it is nowhere mentioned that 20( 40%) must be secured in every section. Can anyone throw some light on this and please guide me if I have a slim outside chance.

    
    
    • Ravikumar Kothakota said:
      

      Hi Sudan,
      It is not like we should pass with 40% in every section.
      The cutoff is based on number of people attended and number of jobs available and highest marks in each section.
      Based on these conditions, cutoff will is decided.
      If the exam is tough and most of the people got less than 30% of marks in a section, then the cutoff will be decreased automatically.
