Every person has her or her own style of studying. So, a perfect deadline can’t be set for every candidate unless you have only a month or a few days left for the exam preparation or revision. But generally, a dedicated candidate prepares the RBI Assistant 2023 syllabus in 3 months. A very small number of candidates successfully prepare it in 30 days’ time. Most of these candidates are office goers or those preparing for more than two exams who follow an extremely busy schedule. A strict timetable backed by Mock Tests is needed to cover all the topics from each section in the RBI Assistant exam. Practice is the key to success.
