How to actually use your 10 days
One fast, weight-prioritised pass over what actually appears on the paper.
This 10-day plan gives you 10 days to work through 18 weighted IBPS PO topics across 2 subjects — roughly 1.8 new topics a day at 6–8 hours of focused study. That pace is brisk but survivable if you protect your highest-weight subjects first.
IBPS PO marks are not spread evenly across subjects. General Awareness and English carry the heaviest weightage in recent papers, so this plan front-loads them — so they get your first and best hours, before fatigue sets in. Cover IBPS PO's weight 4–5 topics properly, starting with General Awareness and English. Touch weight-3 topics only if you finish early; skip weight 1–2 entirely.
10 days is enough for one disciplined pass over the high-weight portion of IBPS PO, not the full 18-topic syllabus. The trap is starting too slow. Begin with the heaviest subjects on day one — you do not have a buffer week.
What to prioritise & cut
Cover IBPS PO's weight 4–5 topics properly, starting with General Awareness and English. Touch weight-3 topics only if you finish early; skip weight 1–2 entirely.
Mock tests & revision
Sit two or three timed previous-year IBPS PO papers in the second half and review every wrong answer the same day.
Weekly rhythm
Front-load new IBPS PO learning into the first 60% of days; reserve the last 40% for previous-year papers and error review.
