The RBI Grade B Officer post in Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is a highly-esteemed government job in India. For recruitment into the posts, Reserve Bank of India conducts the RBI Grade B Exam annually, drawing participation from lakhs of students. Besides working in a reputed role with the central bank of the country, the numerous perks offered to an RBI Grade B Officer makes it the most sought-after job among a large number of students.
The selection of a Grade B officer happens through a country wide competitive exam. This exam is conducted in three phases: Prelims, Mains and Interview.
One should start preparing for this exam from the month of Nov- Dec so that you could sufficient time to practice and build on your concepts. Since a lot of you who would be preparing for this exam would not be from a finance background, the earlier you start the better grip you would have over the subject.
Additionally you need to prepare for both Prelims and Mains together as the gap between the two exams is just 15 days. A lot of your efforts and time needs to be invested for Phase 2 as marks matter the most there. Prelims is just a qualifying exam. So while you give time for Phase 1 ensure that you spend equal time on Phase 2 topics as well.
1. Prelims: This is just a qualifying exam. The score here does not add to the final selection score. But one has to clear the cutoff to get to the next phase.
