Murnal ji i am not able to access my Roll no after filled my data like Registration no and Date of birth it say data invalid or i have also try with Registration no and Password than same think happen plz advice me what to do?
Same problem with me. Please advise for way out of this problem.
put me down with this article…..just a copy paste, no summary work, no analysis, nothing..!!
No different than the Hand-out given…I mean, a visitor would expect that if Mrunal has given an article then it must be an analysis not just a copy paste of the pdf…whats the point of coming to mrunal.org then..!!
or may be I was suffering from High expectation…:(
Most people don’t bother to read even the handouts and i get ~10 emails per day inquiring about the call letter, hence this article.
good job sir
Many thanks Murnalji

at the time of registration.
What can be done next.
Please help.
Thanks
Sir, will there be any sectional cutoffs in this exam?
mrunal bhaia..i have scored 63.2 in the last IBPS Clerical exam.The cutoff score for general candidates in Westbengal has been 64.3.Is there any chance for me in the upcoming second list??
I took the test today. English and Reasoning are just the way mrunal had told. For the computer section it needs a bit of practical knowledge along with thorough theory. General awareness is a bit more economy orieneted than we were told but other parts are still there. Now the real concern is math.
root 11223-(4.7)^2*139+72.7= ? – 4623
what is the value of ‘?’
u r going to get 25 Qs of these. u have to be gifted on the IQ level and calculation speed to complete ur test in time. my call do not emhasize math. leave it for last. save a minimum of 50 mins for the part. mark all the lengthy calculations for review. finish the other maths and then come back n see what can u do. Last but not the least if ur call letter says 9.15 then enter the hall at 9.45. if u enter at 9 u will get bored irrespective of the sage u are. for me it affected my maths.
GOOD LUCK
