NABARD Grade A: 50 Day Study Plan

NABARD Grade A Exam 2021: As per the notice released by NABARD, the exam for NABARD Grade B prelims will be conducted on September 18, 2021. The dates for phase-2 will be announced post the prelim examinations. Although there are less than 50 days left to prepare but still you can find this 50-day plan quite useful as it will cover the entire syllabus including revision comprehensively.  

Note: You will have to pace-up your plan by at least 12-15 days if you are starting now as of August 4, 2021. However, if you have already covered some topics then you can adjust accordingly.
