Brother why are you making Fuss over here if you don't have a common sense of grasping the idea that some question take a minute, if you have calculator & take 3-4 minutes if you don't .. do you know that GRE, even SAT, allow calculator.. Can you answere me why they allow?

I think if you have some comprehension skills, I have repeatedly said that calculator issue was there, calculations were tough but it didn't favour engineers as the concepts were those which were understandable to all.

Engineers are not issue here. Fact is IBP know nothing of how to conduct a test.. they just copy the material from net & paste it.. they don't even know that from sources where they are copying math questions allow calculators.. & overall paper was not design for general master degree. How anybody apart from banking background could know core banking terms?

Well I was just responding to those who were saying that engineers were at an advantage. Also, how does it matter if they copy pasted. It's unprofessional on their part but it doesn't make a difference to the candidates, who were there to do the test regardless of where it came from. As for banking terms, it was difficult for non-professionals and I myself did poorly in that part but being a banking related job, they can't be blamed for setting up such exam.

The only controversial (a big one at that) was the fact that the admit cards said, 'no calculators allowed', while the question paper said otherwise. This fact leads to a grim reality whereby some candidates at a certain centre used a calculator and solved each and everyone of the time-consuming (and painstakingly-conceptually-easy) math questions.
There were many issues but i answered the questions related to engineers, many candidates are saying that paper was related to engineering maths, which is not true.

Every test was copied form some website or book, sometime people will find the source after test and sometimes not. No testing agency designed there own questions for tests. As calculators are not allowed according to admit card so i guess no candidate bring calculator except exceptions.
And i agree that paper was not designed for general masters degree and include pure banking term in anglish and GK portions.

The reason for mentioning the copy paste act is to highlight the point, how naive IBP is. They don't know that from where we are copying the material allow calculators.. @AHKK How can any person solve the questions, which require calculator, without calculator in given time.

Not every question included extensive calculation and with the amount of time, at least of the questions could be solved with mental calculations.

Stop blaming those factors which you can not control, so next time guys prepare hard and get good marks. To be honest I personally I asked my friends about math portion they also solved upto 20+ questions of math so you can guess it was doable task. Stop doing things which can result in nothing is test is tough criteria will be low... Justice will be done so believe in IBP and SBP

Maybe brother you have read that in 10th class math. However again I am saying that issue is not very much about the difficulty level. Question is about mismanagement. This is not the way of conducting test that you can solve some questions and not others. They should have designed the test according to the allowed time frame and questions should be those who require no calculator in order to be solved. You cannot justify that as no one was allowed to use calculator so it is fair. It should not happen in the first place.

They can give test from anywhere but IBP is a prestigious institution of the country. It should design an original test and should avoid copy paste. It does not lack resources as test was not free. 800 per student is more than enough for preparing an original test keeping in view the objective of gauging the General metal abilities of candidates. In this case, if they made difficult test. No issue at all. But what they did is really unfair.
