RBI Grade B is MINI UPSC

RBI Grade B exam is popularly known as Mini UPSC. Candidates feel it takes 3-4 attempts to qualify for the exam. Let me make it clear if you seriously target for the exam then, you can crack it in your very first attempt.

EDUCATIONAL Background

Many people speculated rumors candidates coming from UPSC backgrounds, IIT and IIM graduates can only qualify for Grade B. Meanwhile, it is not absolutely necessary to be an IIT/IIM graduate to appear in the RBI exam. You only need a graduate degree with 60% marks in any discipline from any college/university.

The medium of education does not determine if you are eligible to take the exam or not. Are you serious about RBI Grade B 2024? No one cannot stop you from getting a Grade B position in RBI.

ESI & FM Impossible to TACKLE

Candidates feel only finance and economics background candidates can qualify for ESI and FM. It is a valueless myth to burst. Keep your basics strong in the Economics and Finance section to qualify for Phase 2 descriptive+objective paper. 

Overlook ECONOMIC Survey

Going through the summary of the Economic Survey section won’t help in any way. 3-4 questions are asked in this section in-depth. These 3-4 marks decide your fate to crack the exam. Don’t overlook any section for Grade B preparation.
