Dear Aspirants, today's second shift of IBPS RRB Office Assistant (Clerk) Prelims 2017 Exam is over, Now it's time for exam RRB Office Assistant Prelims Exam Analysis (Review) of 17th September 2017 -2nd Shift.
Before this RRB has already conducted its Prelims Examination for Officer Scale-I Recruitment. If you've gone through its analysis you must be knowing that the level of PO Prelims was Easy-Moderate. Thus, Office Assistant Aspirants were expecting to face a similar level of Prelims Exam for the first shift of IBPS RRB Clerk Pre Exam 2017. And IBPS has kept the level easy-moderate for Clerk exam as well. We've seen in today's first shift of RRB Clerk that the paper was not at all difficult and everything related to the conventional or old pattern was asked.

When the exam is of Easy-Moderate level this certainly is a sigh of relief for candidates but this also means that the average number of attempts may go high. Aspirants must not compromise with accuracy at any cost. Today's 2nd Shift of RRB Office Assistant Exam was of an Easy-Moderate level.

There are 2 Sections in IBPS RRB Office Assistant/ Clerk Prelims Exam 2017 - Reasoning, and Quantitative Aptitude. Both the sections have 40 questions in each section. 45 minutes time limit was given for a total 80 questions.
