      Although the IBPS SO exam is challenging, candidates can definitely crack the exam with the aid of smart preparation strategy. Since millions of students apply every year, the competition has intensified. But you can still complete the IBPS SO syllabus in six months preparation with careful and intelligent planning. Allow adequate time for revision because what matters most is what you remember, not what you have read.
