Navigation: Sectional timing — each section opens in turn and locks when its time ends.
- Trainee Associate is the larger and regularly repeated MSC Bank recruitment; the same advertisement also covers Trainee Junior Officers, Typists and Drivers, each with a different paper.
- Sections, marks and timings are from the scanned 2026 advertisement, checked from a copy hosted by a coaching site because msc.bank.in no longer links it. Some coaching summaries give different section timings (for example 30/30/25/35 minutes); this mock follows the advertisement (40/25/20/35).
- The advertisement states negative marking of 1/(options − 1): 1/4 for five-option questions. It does not say how many options there are or whether 2-mark questions lose 0.25 or 0.5. This mock assumes five options and 1/4 of each question's marks, so the pattern is labelled indicative.
- The exam is in English only. Candidates need at least 50% (100 of 200) to be shortlisted for the personal interview, which this mock does not cover. Final merit combines the online exam and the interview.
