The RBI Grade B exam is held in three stages. First, you’ll have to face Phase 1, then Phase 2, and lastly the Interview round. Each stage is different. Each stage needs a plan. That’s why we have created a 45-Day Study Planner for you.
But before we jump into the plan below, let’s first understand the exam.
The Phase 1 exam has 4 Sections. They include General Awareness, Reasoning, English, and Quantitative Aptitude. All these sections will be in the form of 200 questions to be solved in 120 minutes. You must be fast and accurate in dealing with all the sections of the exam. Every section will test both your knowledge and speed.
Dear Candidate, you’ll have to plan your day in two parts. You’ll have to keep mornings for Quantitative Aptitude and English and Evenings for Reasoning and General Awareness. This will balance your routine.
Also, make notes daily, revise them on weekends, and take a mock test every week.
Time is less. The notification is here. Exams will follow soon. You cannot waste even a single day. A 45-day planner gives you daily targets. It keeps you on track. It makes sure you don’t skip any subject. Phase 1 needs speed, accuracy, and revision. At the same time, you must not ignore Phase 2. Because the gap between Phase 1 and Phase 2 is very small. That’s why this plan includes a mix. Some time for Finance, some time for ESI, and some time for answer writing. This planner is your road to discipline. Your road to success.
Here is the 45-day plan you should follow. It is simple. It is clear. It is made for Phase 1. But it also gives space for Phase 2 basics like Finance, ESI, and Descriptive Writing. Stick to it. Adjust only if your routine is very different. Do not skip. Do not delay. Stay regular. Complete daily targets. After completion of the targets, you must revise what you learned at the end of each week. If you keep on following this schedule, you’ll be ready to face the Phase 1 exam by the end of 45 days. And you will already have a head start for Phase 2.

The plan looks simple. But following it is not. Many aspirants lose focus after a week. Others skip revision. Some avoid Phase 2. You must dedicatedly follow the planner above to get the best results. Below are six simple but effective tips to make sure you use the 45 days smartly and keep improving with every passing day.
Take a mock test on Day 1. It will show your weak and strong areas. If you are weak in reasoning, spend more time there. If you are strong in English, maintain it. The mock test is your baseline. It sets your direction. Without it, you will study randomly.
You need to clear your basics first and not jump to tough chapters directly. You can do so by reading the NCERT and simple books for Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning. This will help you solve any question easily later. Strong basics save time in exams. Many students fail because they ignore fundamentals. Give one week to revise basics. This step is very important. Without it, practice becomes difficult and confusing.
Don’t just memorize shortcuts. Exams test concepts. Learn the basics of quant, reasoning, and grammar. Strong basics make tough questions easy. Shortcuts fail when patterns change. Concepts never fail. So, give time to understand. This will save you from exam pressure.
GA is the most scoring subject. Revise the last six months. Read current affairs, schemes, and banking daily. Make short notes. Revise them before sleep. You cannot cram GA in one week. Regular revision is the only way to score high in GA.
Don’t spend all your time on one subject. Every subject matters. Cutoffs exist for all. Balance your time between Quant, Reasoning, English, and GA. Ignoring one can cost you the exam. Divide smartly. Stay disciplined.
Don’t wait for Phase 1 to end. Start Phase 2 prep now. Give at least 30 minutes to Finance or ESI daily. Read basics. Write short notes. Revise them often. This will save you after Phase 1. Many toppers follow this method.
Revision is as important as learning. Keep Sundays for revision. Revise all notes, mock mistakes, and current affairs. Without revision, everything fades away. Weekly revision locks the knowledge. It keeps your memory fresh.
Do not avoid your weak chapters. Many students spend time only on the strong parts. This is a mistake. Give more time to weak areas daily. For example, if puzzles are tough, practice them more. If grammar is weak, revise rules and solve exercises. Keep a balance, but focus extra on weaknesses. Slowly, weak topics will become strong, and your confidence will grow.
Mock tests are the best tool for practice. They help you know your speed, accuracy, and mistakes. Give at least 3 to 4 mock tests every week. Mock tests train your brain for the exam environment. They also build stamina to sit for hours. Solve one mock daily in the last 10 days.
After each mock test, spend time on analysis. Then, find which section is wasting time. Note the chapters where you lose marks. Work on those chapters. Keep a record of scores. Try to improve step by step. Mock tests make you exam-ready.
So, do not wait for later days to give mock tests. Start now. Even if you are not fully prepared, still attempt them. And, after each test, check your mistakes. Note them down. This daily practice sharpens accuracy and makes you exam-ready.
Read daily news and make small notes. Cover the last 6 months of current affairs. Use monthly PDFs for revision. Focus more on RBI, the economy, government schemes, and reports. Revise them again and again. Do not waste too much time on very old news. Current affairs can give you a big score if prepared well. Just 1 hour daily is enough for this section.
Time is not just money in this exam. It’s a win here. So, it’s important to manage your time well. For that, you should follow a timetable that has breaks between studies to relax your mind and rejuvenate it. In short, give more time to tough subjects. Practice questions with a timer. In the exam, never spend too long on one question. Skip and move to the next. Later, come back if time is left. Time management is the biggest skill in competitive exams. With practice, you can solve more questions in less time.
Always prepare short notes while studying. Use bullet points, flowcharts, and tables. Write down important formulas, shortcuts, current affairs, and important definitions. Short notes save time in revision. During the last week, only notes can be revised quickly. Do not depend on heavy books at the end. Keep your notes clean and simple. Make them in your own words. They will help you a lot before exam day.
Regularity in studies is more important than studying or toiling for long hours. So, you should study daily, even if it is for a few hours. Take breaks, but do not take long breaks in between. Many aspirants study a lot for one week but stop later. This is wrong. Make a fixed routine and stick to it. A small daily study gives better results than a random long study. Remember, regularity builds discipline and helps you cover the full syllabus.
Keep one day every week only for revision. Sunday is a good option. Do not study new topics that day. Revise all your notes, formulas, and current affairs. This weekly revision keeps all subjects fresh in your mind. It also reduces exam pressure. During the final week, you will already know everything. So keep revision as a habit. It improves memory and boosts confidence before exams.
Your body and mind need rest. To make sure they remain healthy, you need to eat light and healthy food and say Goodbye to junk food. Avoid eating late at night, and lessen your screen time. You must sleep at least 7 hours daily to feel energetic the next day. Drink enough water. A healthy routine improves concentration and energy. Many aspirants fall sick before exams due to stress and irregular habits. Do not make that mistake. Health is equally important as preparation. A fresh mind learns faster and remembers longer.
Even though 45 days is a short time period for covering so many topics as there are in RBI Garde B phase 1. But if you follow this planner, it is enough. You will be ready for Phase 1 and already prepared for Phase 2 basics. Stay dedicated and keep on studying regularly, and Success will surely embrace you.
