section?

5. Appendix: Cutoffs

Prologue

As far as English, Maths and reasoning goes, the

studyplan remains similar to PO/MT-with minor

difference.

This article only contains the professional

knowledge (IT) section MCQs from 2012 and

2013’s exam i.e. SPL-I and SPL-II respectively. It

should help you gauge the width and depth of IT

professional knowledge section syllabus, so you

can prepare accordingly from your college

books/GATE books/ Web resources. Avoid

jholachhap publications giving “readymade”

guidebooks, they didn’t help in provident fund

commissioner exam (APFC), they will not help in

specialist officer.

If any of the maestro, senior player, good

samaritan wants to share some wisdom on

preparation of this “professional section (IT)”

please post comment below.

What topics to prepare: Syllabus for IT

section?

Official notification doesn’t mention full syllabus

for the IT topics. Hence leads to confusion

especially since candidates from parallel

graduation streams are permitted: electronics,

communication, and IT.

As a result, market is also flooded with variety of

books for the IT topics- to quickly mint money

from this confusion and uncertainty. (Same thing

happens in APFC labour commissioner, FCI and

so on).

overall these readymade books deal with

following topics:

1. basics of hardware software and operating

system

8/1/2014 IBPS Specialist IT papers 2012, 2013 & Cutoffs

http://mrunal.org/2013/12/ibps-spl-it-specialist-officer-previous-question-papers-from-2012-and-2013-exam-professional-knowledge-information-technology-s… 27/35

2. I/O system, microprocessors, circuits

3. SQL, database management, data mining

4. Communication, networking, security.

5. Business-GK related social networking sites,

smartphones, iPhone etc.

Common sense suggests that you’re better off

going through your college text books / GATE

guidebooks from reputed authors, rather than

putting your future in such randomly copy

pasted 200-250 pages. After all those 50 MCQs

are worth 75 marks.

As per IBPS official notification, DOEAAC “B”

certificate is also valid for IT officer post. This

DOEACC Society is under HRD ministry and its

“B” certificate is professionally equivalent to MCA

Degree course. So, you can use its syllabus as

the ‘common ground’, and do selective study

accordingly from your college books.

Syllabus link:

http://www.nielit.in/pdf/syllabus_b.pdf (Even

contains Mock MCQs)

Compare the topics given in it with above MCQs and

do selective study accordingly.
