SBI Specialist

Officers Exam2014 Syllabus

As you know, the

exam consists of

the sections

Aptitude,

Reasoning, English

Language and

Professional Knowledge. The

difficulty level of apti, reasoning and

English language sections is almost

equal to that of SBI PO Exam's. So

you can prepare SBI PO Previous

papers for those sections. For the

professional knowledge section the

questions are completely based on

the post you have applied for. The

difficulty level of these questions will

be moderate. They will ask

questions from your CORE

SUBJECTS of your Graduation /

Post Graduation. Now lets have a

look at sectional wise syllabus of

SBI Specialist Officers Exam 2014.

Quantitative Aptitude : Keep in

mind that the Data Interpretation

is SBI's favorite section. You will get

almost 40% questions from this

area. For this section you have to

focus more on Averages, Ratios

and Proportions and Simplification

(Note : Now a days they are

making DI questions from the areas

Probability, Time and Work, Simple

and Compound Interest etc. too.

So its better to have the basic idea

in all the basic aptitude concepts).

For data interpretation you have to

pick the appropriate data in a single

glance and you have to solve the

given questions making use of it.

So, you have to practice more on

Bar Charts, Tables, Pie Charts. If

possible try to avoid pen and paper

for simple calculations while solving

these problems so that you can

save time.

Apart from Data Interpretation, you

can get questions from Numerical

Ability (basic maths), ratios and

proportions, averages, LCM and

HCF, Ages, Time and Distance,

Speed and Distance, Profit and

Loss, Basic Mensuration.

The difficulty level of Aptitude

section is moderate. There will be

no twisted questions. But you can

expect time taking questions. You

can solve only 15 - 20 questions

with your normal mathematical

skills and traditional methods. You

have to work with simplification

shortcut methods so that you can

easily get good marks in this

section (especially for DI).

Reasoning : The reasoning

section of SBI is little easier when

compared to IBPS's. For last years

SBI Specialist Officers' Exam which

was held in the year 2012, they've

mainly focused on Analytical

Reasoning. So focus more on this

area. Practice Classification, Input

and Output, Seating Arrangement,

Ranking, Coding - Decoding, Time

Sequence, Decision Making,

Course of Action, Cause and Effect,

Statements Conclusions and

Statements Assumptions. Last time

as they conducted online exam for

the first time, the SBI hadn't asked

questions from Non-Verbal

Reasoning. So this time also you

can expect the same pattern. But

better to read the basics of non-

verbal reasoning too (for worst

case scenario) but don't waste

much time on this section.

English Language : For this

section focus more on Vocabulary,

Antonyms, Synonyms, Sentence

Arrangement, Fill in the Blanks,

Locating and Correcting the errors,

Reading Comprehension. Learn

basic grammar and try to improve

your speed reading skills.

Important Note : As we've

already mentioned in our last post,

the marks of above three sections

wont be considered while

calculating your merit. So better

don't waste too much time on

these sections.

Professional

Knowledge Section

Syllabus

This is the key section of the exam.

Even a single mark will decide your

fate. So you have to be well

prepared for this section.

Systems Officer / IT Officer :

The bank need an IT Professional to

look after it's Software and Server

Maintenance issues. So it needs

expertise in the areas like DBMS,

Computer Networks and Basic

Programing Languages. Last time

they asked maximum number of

questions from Data Base

Management Systems (DBMS) so

focus more on this subject. You

should also prepare basic

programming languages like C,

C++, Java, Basic concepts of

Software and Hardware, Data

Structures, Computer Organization,

Computer Networks, Network

Programming, Algorithms, Digital

Electronics, Web Technologies,

Information Systems and Software

Engineering etc.

Study Materials : Our study

materials of IBPS IT Officers may

help you in your preparation. You

can download them from here.

Chartered Accountant : You

should focus on the basic areas of

CA like Accounting Standards,

Accounting Guidance Note, Financial

Accounting Standards, Corporate

Financial Reporting, Accounting and

Reporting of Financial Instrument,

Share-based Payment, Liability

Valuation, Share, Business

valuation, Inflation Accounting,

Indian Capital Market, Mutual

Funds, Foreign Exchanges, Auditing

etc.

problems. So you should focus

more on Banking Regulated Laws,

Governance in Banking, Financial

Analysis, Banking Operational Laws,

Banker-Customer Relations,

Electronic Banking, Loans and

Advances, Compliance and Legal

Aspects, Security Types and

Regulatory Frameworks etc.

Statistician : Statisticians are

concerned with the collection,

analysis, interpretation and

presentation of quantitative

information. Being a Statistician the

bank expects you to apply

mathematical and statistical
