Hello Readers
SBI CLERK MAIN exam 2016 started today in two shifts.
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 in first shift.
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 you the time of first section completes.
