Pattern Changes in Competitive Exams In India

There has been a significant amount of diffrence in the patterns of competitive exams in India. Especially in mainstream competitive exams such as IAS Exam, various famous and competitve MBA Entrance exams such as Cat exam and the very hot and happening Bank exams. 
The focus has now started to shift towards testing the aptitude of candidates more than anything else. The proof of statement becomes evident when we look at some recent pattern changes in mainstream entrance and competitive exams such as ias exam (also called Civil service exam), bank exams that give an opportunity to get very satisfying and secure bank jobs. 
Bank exams are very hot due to also the fact that there has been a salary hike in all public sector banks for employees working at any level in the banks. This hike in salaries along with rising of more an more vacancies due to so many people retiring from public sector banks services has caused for rise in the interest of young people towards bank exams. This has increased the competition in these exams by many folds.
This rise in competition in bank entrance exams has caused a lot of headache for individual banks that organize these recruitment drives to fill some respective positions that arise periodically due to some people retiring and more demands of work being put on the banks by people. The banks used to face a lot of difficulties in recruitment process as they needed to manage a lot of activities such as correct registration, issuing of call letters and most of all, in checking the sheets and issuing results on timely basis due to so many other responsibilities on banks. 
These issues for banks caused the goverment to think about centralizing the written exams of all mainstream public sector banks in one exam. This gave rise to IBPS(Institute of banking Personnel selection). From now onwards, common written exams would be conducted for all banks by IBPS, solving the issues faced by both, the banks and candidates. Now, the banks do not have to worry about managing the written phases of their recruitment drives and candidates will get results on timely basis.
