The IBPS PO recruitment exam 2023 will be held on November 5, with 3049 vacancies advertised. To excel in the exam, candidates should re-analyze the syllabus, take mock tests, analyze previous year's papers and cut-offs, and focus on improving time-management skills. Candidates should aim to score at least 20 marks higher than the previous year's cut-off. It is important to choose battles wisely, start with easier questions, and address puzzles last.
