Approach

one full pass, one structured revision cycle, and a weekly mock series

This 2-month plan gives you 60 days to work through 18 weighted IBPS PO topics across 2 subjects — roughly 0.30 new topics a day at 4–5 hours of focused study. That is a sustainable pace that leaves real room for revision instead of just first-time coverage.

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 anchor the first pass and earn the most revision time later. Cover the entire IBPS PO syllabus once, then let weightage — led by General Awareness and English — decide what earns a second and third pass. Nothing is skipped, only deprioritised.

60 days is enough to cover all 18 IBPS PO topics once, revise them once more, and build a genuine mock-test habit on top. The risk is plateauing after the first pass. Block out the revision cycle in your calendar now, before mocks crowd it out.

What to prioritise & cut

Cover the entire IBPS PO syllabus once, then let weightage — led by General Awareness and English — decide what earns a second and third pass. Nothing is skipped, only deprioritised.

Mock tests & revision

Topic-wise IBPS PO tests while you learn, then weekly full-length mocks once the first pass is done. Track sectional timing, not just the total.

Weekly rhythm

Roughly the first 60% of the timeline on the first pass of the IBPS PO syllabus, the next 25% on weight-prioritised revision, the last 15% on full mocks and an error-log review.
