Dear Aspirants, 

As you Know, the “IBPS RRB Clerk Mains Examination” was conducted across the country on October 6 2024. Affairscloud Team has provided the complete set of General Awareness Questions asked in the IBPS RRB Clerk Mains Examination 2024 in the post below. We hope Aspirants have performed well in the exam.

Motto of Exam Analysis:
To Understand the pattern and Evolution of Questions Standard.

Analysis of Question Standard:
The exam featured time-consuming questions, such as statement-based, lengthy questions.
Many questions were framed with specific time periods (e.g., 2020, January 2023, August 2023) to create confusion among aspirants,
When seeing questions with these kinds of time periods, aspirants might assume they haven’t covered last year’s news and, as a result, They skip the question during the exam.

Takeaway for Candidates:
Read Current Affairs on Daily Basis, Under the Concept and Background information of each news
If the news, related to any Schemes/Mission/International Organisation spend some time to read about Scheme/mission on your own.
Connecting the news will boost your score in GA

Concern Over Sectional Timing:
“We request IBPS to either increase the sectional timing for General Awareness or reduce the number of lengthy or statement-based questions, as many students found it challenging to read all 40 questions within the allotted time.”
