Hello Friends,
Hope everything is going fine with your studies. Descriptive Paper is never tough provided done with a little effort. It may turn out to be highly interesting.
Every Banking Aspirant gains varied kinds of knowledge either through magazines, through newspapers or through some other means. They have numerous Objective Type materials to get qualified in the Bank PO Preliminary Examinations. But, as they have qualified in the Prelims, they rush out for Descriptive Type Materials in a very less span of time. Even if they have managed some materials, the materials are either lengthy or not easy-to-grasp and thus their chances of getting qualified for the Interview become bleak.
