IBPS PO Mains Descriptive Test: Writing Tips

The Descriptive Test carries 25 marks and includes one Essay and one Letter/Precis, to be completed in 30 minutes. Here are some tips that can help

Time split: Give roughly 18 – 20 minutes to the essay and 10- 12 minutes to the letter, since the essay carries more weight.
Keep a structure ready: Prepare a general opening and closing format in advance for both formal and informal letters to save time.
Essay approach: Stick to a simple introduction–body–conclusion structure. Use 2–3 clear points with examples rather than trying to cover everything.
Word limit: Stay close to the suggested word count. An essay is usually expected around 200–250 words and a letter around 150 words; going too short or too long can affect scoring.
Typing practice: Since this is a typed test, practice typing in English beforehand if you’re not used to typing quickly and accurately on a keyboard.

Exam Day Dress Code/Prohibited Items

There is no fixed uniform for the IBPS PO exam, but candidates are advised to dress simply to avoid delays.
Wear light, comfortable clothing.
Avoid heavy jewellery, large buttons, brooches, or clothes with big pockets.
Keep hair open if it has been tied with metallic clips or pins, since these may need to be removed at the checking point.

Prohibited Items in PO Mains Exam Centre

The following items are not allowed inside the examination centre, even in switched-off condition:

Mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, and any other electronic gadgets
Calculators, log tables, and slide rules
Notebooks and any written or printed material
Wallets, handbags, and pouches
Any kind of geometry or pencil box, unless specifically permitted for descriptive test rough work
