Any puys from 2 pm shift online? I found the paper on the tougher side, especially quant and reasoning. What are the expected cutoffs?

Shift 2: 


GA: A cakewalk.


English: Moderate (Tougher than last year)


Reasoning: Moderate to tough 


Quants: Toughhhhh. 


Overall, the paper was tougher than last year because of English and Quants.

Did Any one from shift 2 attempt more than 140 .I found the GA portion in shift 2 more on the static side. There were no questions on committees. Getting bounced by seeing 160+ attempts.

could anyone please post ga questions from shift 2?

These are few of the questions being asked in the afternoon session: Q1. 111-km-long Jiribam-Tupul-Imphal railway line  Q2. CEO of Niti Ayog Q3. Ottawa is capital of ? Q4. Total assets of SBI after merger? Q5. NACH related Q6. Total allocation under Himayat

Shift 2 

GK - easy, many were static and quickly answerable

Eng - moderate to tough. Some questions were of new format and so time consuming.

Reasoning - Tough. Was not able to solve even a single seating/linear arrangement questions inspite of taking so many mocks :(

Quants- Toughest of them. Questions were of new pattern and time consuming to solve as well. 


Looks like Quant in afternoon was tougher than morning shift.

Rest doesnt matter !

Cut off analysis Paper was of same standard as of last year It looked easy but questions were tricky last year also GA was easy hence same this year English was moderate so is same this year Quant was tough so the same is this year Reasoning looked easy but questions were tricky same as in last year No of vacancies are more as compared to last year And no of aspirant are also expected to be less bcs of two bank exams in a single day Hence the sectional cut off is expected to be same at 25 % of last year And overall cut off will be +- 2 of last year
