IBPS RRB Clerk Exam Analysis 2026: Questions Asked, Difficulty Level and Good Attempts
IBPS RRB Clerk Exam Analysis 2026 will provide the shift-wise review of the Office Assistant (Multipurpose) Preliminary Examination under CRP RRBs-XV, including questions asked, difficulty level, good attempts and section-wise analysis of Reasoning Ability and Numerical Ability. As of 25 September 2026, the prelims examination has not yet been conducted, so actual 2026 questions, difficulty level and good-attempt estimates are not available. The prelims examination is scheduled for 6, 12 and 13 December 2026.
Latest Update – 25 September 2026: IBPS RRB Clerk Prelims 2026 is scheduled for 6, 12 and 13 December 2026. Actual shift-wise exam analysis will be added here only after the respective examination shift is completed. The Office Assistant online registration portal currently shows 27 September 2026 as the closing date for registration and online fee payment.
Accuracy Note: Any questions asked, difficulty level or good-attempt figures shown as actual CRP RRBs-XV Prelims 2026 analysis before the examination is conducted should not be treated as confirmed exam data.

IBPS RRB Clerk Prelims Exam Analysis 2026
The IBPS RRB Clerk Prelims analysis will cover both Reasoning Ability and Numerical Ability. ExamTune will update the topic-wise questions, difficulty level and candidate-feedback-based good attempts after each completed shift.
| Section | Questions | Difficulty Level | Good Attempts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reasoning Ability | 40 | Awaited | Awaited |
| Numerical Ability | 40 | Awaited | Awaited |
| Overall | 80 | Awaited | Awaited |
Important: Do not confuse an estimated “good attempts” range with the official cut-off. Good attempts are an exam-analysis estimate based on paper difficulty, candidate feedback and expected accuracy, whereas the official cut-off is released through the recruitment process.
IBPS RRB Clerk Shift Wise Analysis 2026
The shift-wise IBPS RRB Clerk Exam Analysis will be updated separately for each examination date. This is important because the mix of questions and perceived difficulty can vary between shifts.
| Exam Date | Shift | Difficulty Level | Good Attempts | Questions Asked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 December 2026 | Conducted Shifts | Awaited | Awaited | Awaited |
| 12 December 2026 | Conducted Shifts | Awaited | Awaited | Awaited |
| 13 December 2026 | Conducted Shifts | Awaited | Awaited | Awaited |
IBPS RRB Clerk Questions Asked 2026
The actual IBPS RRB Clerk questions asked in 2026 will be added after candidate feedback is available from completed shifts. Until then, no memory-based question should be presented as a confirmed 2026 exam question.
Reasoning Ability Questions Asked
| Topic | Questions Asked | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Puzzles & Seating Arrangement | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
| Syllogism | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
| Inequality | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
| Series | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
| Blood Relation | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
| Direction & Distance | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
| Other Topics | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
Numerical Ability Questions Asked

| Simplification / Approximation | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
| Number Series | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
| Data Interpretation | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
| Arithmetic | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
| Other Topics | To Be Updated | To Be Updated |
IBPS RRB Clerk Good Attempts 2026
IBPS RRB Clerk Good Attempts 2026 cannot be reliably estimated before the examination. The range will be calculated after reviewing actual paper difficulty, lengthy versus direct questions, candidate feedback and expected accuracy.
| Section | Total Questions | Good Attempts 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Reasoning Ability | 40 | To Be Updated After Exam |
| Numerical Ability | 40 | To Be Updated After Exam |
| Overall | 80 | To Be Updated After Exam |
Student Note: A high number of attempts alone does not make an attempt “good”. Accuracy matters because incorrect responses can affect the final score. Candidates should therefore avoid comparing only raw attempt counts.
IBPS RRB Clerk Difficulty Level 2026
The actual difficulty level will be published after the respective shift. ExamTune will separately assess Reasoning Ability and Numerical Ability before giving an overall paper-level assessment.
| Section | Difficulty Level |
|---|---|
| Reasoning Ability | Awaited |
| Numerical Ability | Awaited |
| Overall | Awaited |

IBPS RRB Clerk Prelims Exam Pattern
The prelims paper consists of Reasoning and Numerical Ability with 80 questions carrying 80 marks in total. Candidates should distinguish the official exam structure from post-exam analysis such as good attempts and difficulty level.
| Test | Questions | Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reasoning | 40 | 40 | 25 Minutes |
| Numerical Ability | 40 | 40 | 20 Minutes |
| Total | 80 | 80 | 45 Minutes |
Previous Cycle RRB Clerk Exam Analysis – Preparation Reference
Until the 2026 prelims is conducted, previous-cycle analysis can be used only to understand the nature of an exam review. It must not be treated as the expected or confirmed difficulty level of CRP RRBs-XV.
For example, candidate-feedback-based analysis for the 6 December 2025 Shift 1 paper generally described the overall level as Easy to Moderate. Reported estimates placed Reasoning good attempts around 34–37 and Numerical Ability around 31–35, with the overall range around 70–74.
| Section | Previous-Cycle Difficulty Reference | Reported Good Attempts |
|---|---|---|
| Reasoning Ability | Easy to Moderate | 34–37 |
| Numerical Ability | Easy to Moderate | 31–35 |
| Overall | Easy to Moderate | 70–74 |
Important: These are historical, candidate-feedback-based figures from the previous cycle. They are not predictions for the December 2026 examination and should not be used as the 2026 cut-off.
ExamTune Expert Insight for Numerical Ability
Before the 2026 exam, candidates should focus more on improving question selection and calculation speed than chasing a fixed attempt target. In Numerical Ability, a paper containing straightforward simplification, series or DI questions can produce a very different attempt range from a paper containing more calculation-heavy arithmetic. Therefore, decide attempts according to the actual paper rather than a pre-decided “safe attempt” number.

How ExamTune Will Update This Page on Exam Day
After each completed shift, the analysis will be updated using candidate feedback and subject-wise review. The update will include overall difficulty, section-wise difficulty, topic-wise question distribution, important questions reported by candidates, good-attempt estimates and notable changes compared with previous shifts.
Common Student Mistake: Do not assume that another shift’s good-attempt range automatically applies to your shift. Question mix and difficulty can differ, and the official result or cut-off is not determined by a coaching-site attempt estimate.
What Should Candidates Do Before the Exam?
Since the actual 2026 analysis is not available yet, candidates should use the remaining preparation period for timed practice. Focus on calculation speed, arithmetic accuracy, Data Interpretation, puzzles and seating arrangements, while regularly analysing mock-test mistakes. Previous-year papers are useful for understanding question types, but they should not be treated as a guarantee of the 2026 paper pattern.
