Introduction
Most students approach precis writing like this:
Read passage → Start writing → Try to shorten
And then wonder:
“Why are my marks not improving?”
Because they are missing the most important thing:
A system
At Bank Whizz, we don’t teach random writing.
We teach a structured compression method — designed specifically for SEBI-level precis writing.
This is the Bank Whizz Precis Method — a step-by-step strategy to convert any passage into a high-scoring precis.
The Core Problem in Precis Writing
Most aspirants:
- Focus on sentences
- Try to shorten paragraph-wise
- Don’t understand structure
Result:
- Loss of meaning
- Poor flow
- Low marks
Precis is NOT about shortening sentences
It is about compressing ideas
BANK WHIZZ PRECIS METHOD (COMPLETE FRAMEWORK)
STEP 1: Extract Central Theme (Foundation)
Before writing anything:
Identify:
- What is the passage about?
- What is the main argument?
✔ Output:
One-line central idea
Example:
“Technological growth improves efficiency but creates regulatory challenges.”
This becomes:
Your guiding line
STEP 2: Break Passage into Idea Blocks
Now divide passage into logical parts:
✔ Identify:
- Introduction idea
- Core arguments
- Supporting logic
- Conclusion idea
Think in terms of:
Ideas, not paragraphs
This is where most students fail
STEP 3: Remove Redundant Zones (Compression Step)
Now eliminate:
Remove:
- Examples
- Case studies
- Statistics
- Repetition
✔ Keep:
- Core ideas
- Logical flow
Golden Rule:
If removed, meaning should not change
STEP 4: Transform Content (Key Step)
This is the most powerful part.
✔ Convert:
- Examples → Concepts
- Data → General idea
- Long sentences → Short logical statements
Example:
Original:
“Due to increasing number of digital transactions, fraud cases have risen significantly…”
Precis version:
“Growing digital transactions have increased fraud risks.”
This is:
Intelligent compression
STEP 5: Arrange in Logical Flow
Now structure your precis:
✔ Order:
- Core idea
- Key arguments
- Challenges/issues
- Final thought
This ensures:
✔ Flow
✔ Clarity
✔ Completeness
STEP 6: Write in One Paragraph
✔ Rules:
- Single paragraph
- Smooth transitions
- Clear connections
Use connectors:
- However
- Therefore
- Additionally
This improves readability
STEP 7: Maintain Word Limit
✔ Target:
120 words
✔ Acceptable range:
- 110–130 words
Balance:
✔ Complete
✔ Concise
STEP 8: Add a Strong Title
✔ Title should:
- Reflect central theme
- Be short and precise
Example:
“Digital Growth and Regulatory Challenges”
This enhances presentation
