Hello Readers
Today is the second and last day of SBI CLERK MAIN exam 2016.
According to our readers, we found mixed reviews about the exam. The overall exam was moderate. General Awareness was easy to moderate this time. No Computer questions were asked in this shift also. Overall the same pattern was followed as on first day. No changes in the pattern, only the questions and their changed.
The students were not allowed to chose the sections self. There was a order as: GA>English>Reasoning>Quant, and the next section got unlocked only when the time of first section completes.
