Hello,

See. the entire pattern of aforementioned exams varies but yes majority of these have English, Quant, Reasoning, in common section, but the level of questions differs in the sense that the level of banking exam is comparatively higher in case of PO specially for SBI, IBPS, or even RBI Grade B Officer, however the same doesn't hold true for exams like SSC which does repeat questions in the exam.

In general if you ask, you can go through the following books for preparation of competitive exams:

For Maths, you can go for RK Agarwal's Quantitative Aptitude/Arihant Objective Book/M Tyra's Quicker Maths

For Reasoning, MK Pandey's Analytical Reasoning or RK Agarwal's' Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning

For English Section, the best book is Wren and Martin for grammar, for vocabulary it's Norman Lewis's Word Power Made Easy, for practice you can use Plinth to Paramount or SP Bakshi's Objective General English

For General Knowledge, you can use Lucent's GK , for dynamic portion the best thing is to read the newspaper on a daily basis, you can choose The Hindu or The Indian Express, these are the best options.

If your query is for any specific exams, then do mention in the comment box.
