I’m preparing for SBI PO and IBPS PO and starting almost from scratch. I’ve tried studying from YouTube, and I do understand some teachers really well (like Navneet sir from adda247 for Quant and Sachin sir for Reasoning from banking wallah), but my biggest issue is that free YouTube playlists feel incomplete and cluttered.
A lot of videos only cover partial concepts, some topics are skipped, and there’s no proper structured flow. Since only around 3 months are left, I feel like I’m wasting too much time searching for complete playlists and organizing resources instead of actually studying.
I’ve seen mixed opinions about batches. Some people say batches are not worth it and that YouTube + mocks are enough, while others say structured guidance is important for beginners.
My confusion is:
- Should I take a full banking batch for structure and syllabus completion?
- Or should I continue with YouTube + separate paid courses for specific teachers?
- If yes, which platform is better overall for someone who needs proper guidance and complete coverage?
Would especially appreciate advice from people who started from scratch and cleared SBI PO/IBPS PO.
