& towns find this part to be difficult than objectiveA
test as it involves writing detailed answers in
english.
By knowing the exact pattern along with the kind of

To help those getting ready for IBPS common
written exam for bank PO jobs - Bank ExamsIndia.com has compiled a comprehensive guide to explain about
the descriptive english test question paper
This article deals about 1) What is descriptive test 2) Pattern 3) Books 4) Sections
What is it?

An officer in a bank will have to write letters, prepare reports or send views & opinions to higher officials as &
when required.
So descriptive paper as part of bank ing exams aims to check the english language proficiency
of applicants.
Last year, many candidates failed to secure pass marks in descriptive paper making them ineligible to apply
for bank jobs. How?
If you do not clear or score qualifying marks in any objective section – your descriptive test
paper will not be taken up for evaluation.
Apart from securing minimum marks in each objective test, its also necessary to pass in
descriptive test to receive scorecard from IBPS.
Pattern:
As you can see from the image,
1. The time allotted for descriptive section is 60 minutes (1 hour)
2. It carries a maximum weightage of 25 marks
The formula to calculate total weighted score (TWS) is:
Standard scores in (Reasoning + Quantitative aptitude + General
awareness + Computer k nowledge + ½ English language + ½ Descriptive paper)
You can expect the english descriptive paper to contain questions mostly from these 3 categories
Letter Writing
Precis writing /Summary writing
Essay Writing
Previous year questions:
In the previously conducted common written examination for PO/MT posts, descriptive test paper consisted of
the below questions (based on memory)
1. Write a letter to your brother/sister in 150 words explaining the importance of Lokpal bill
OR a letter to the concerned authority informing about the shortage of water supply in
your area OR a letter to the editor of a leading newspaper for starting cultural heritage
programmes in your state
2. Write an essay in 250 words on any of the given topics a) E-banking b) Emerging
trends of aviation industry in India c) Global world converting into global village

3. Make a precis of the following article in 125 words & provide a title to it (a long passage
would be printed)
The word count specified in the question is important as you will have to write the answers on the question
paper itself, within the space provided.
Books:
Whatever be the exam, preparatory books act as source of reference.Here is a good book from Kiran
prakashan with model practice sets, that can be bought online or from your local bookstore.
In detail:
A general rule that must be followed while answering is not to make spelling mistakes. Now let us see what
type of questions could be asked in each category.
Letter writing: There shall be internal choices for this part.You will be asked to write a letter to someone you
know (parents, friend, relation etc) or to an authority informing about certain issues.
Prepare for atleast two formats, so you can answer one based on the question.
Essay writing: A topic/title is given based on which you need to write an essay in about 250 words.This is
also an internal choice question wherein three topics shall be provided for you to choose any one.
It is not possible to memorize articles beforehand.So pick up a random topic related to banking, finance,
current affairs etc.,& practice writing.Here is our list, which you can try:
Economic slowdown in India
FDI in retail
Rise of the American dollar
Pollution in developed countries
Rural banking
Precis Writing: Read the given article of atleast 500 words, understand its meaning, summarize & make a
precis (shorter version).The only requirement is – do not change the meaning of the original passage.
For practicing - take a long newspaper report, leave unnecessary details, pick points that are important & write
a summary.Compare both to make sure you have not deviated from the original article.
We hope this post could infuse the required confidence in your minds.

But what I want to infer conclusion points from the above questions asked on how to do well in the exam.


See officer in a banking is a prestigious one.. so many problems we deal with.. today what ever we deal
In banking is purely related to money

As everyone know money plays important role in the economy so banks deals with almost every sector of our economy.
Clearly if u observe the questions asked previously.. we can say that he is going deep in the economy..i think u didn’t get that.. k fro example consider the question asked

1.Give Three measures to improve the life of people affected from Terrorism.(see here asked about terrorism so we need to know some
Thing about terrorism.. recently where effected so we need to read newspapers)
or
Give Three measures to improve the life of people living in Industrial Slums.( I don’t know exactly but the language o
quite similar I attempted the Terrorism related Question
2. Give three measures to provide potable water in rural areas. Also analyze the effects of the efforts taken so far
Describe the effects of the Public Distribution System (PDS). Also mention how it can be improved.
3. Give Three Views For & Against
” Salary of M.P’s Should be increased or not? ( Intresting one only one answer absolutely not Ha Ha Ha …! Though it’s been increased
now)
or
” Do not rot the grains, feed the poor” statement stated by Supreme court.
4. Financial literacy should be made available to Vulnerable Sectins of society to make them aware of Financial services along with
their Instinct Benefits. Discuss the statement.
or
Unique Identification (UDI) is actually a mobile utility. Give views.
5. Analyze the effect of T.v (Viewing) on the mind of the Young Generation
or
Analyze the effect of Magazines(Reading) on the mind of the Young Generation Caste System in India



K lets discuss this questions.. by inferring

All these questions .. I said previously to read gktoday.in why because he will give apt explanations
Of what is going around and by that you can know how will be our economy.. what goes how it effects economy..

So do read the banking material provided in this site ie: from gktoday site only. And also read daily gktoday.in to understand our economy.. what’s going on..hope I think it is useful to u
