Appendix:Topicwise Breakup of RBI 2011 Paper.

Reserve bank of India 2011

RBI Grade B officers exam, follows the same structure of UPSC Civil service exam.

This RBI exam has three phases

1. Phase I (Objective Type Test)= Preliminary stage (Multi choice questions)
2. Phase II Descriptive Exam (we already discussed this in old article, CLICK ME
(http://mrunal.org/2012/03/study-plan-rbi-officers-phase-2-exam.html))
3. Phase III Interview.
Im extremely grateful to my trusted friend from pagalguy forum csl80
(http://www.pagalguy.com/u/csl80), for providing me the paper of 2011s exam and all other
background information on this exam.
This whole strategy / studyplan is based on that.

RBI Grade B Ocer Preliminary exam: structure

No of questions= 200
Sectional Passing marks = yes. (just like bank exam. It means Candidates have to secure
minimum marks separately for each section.)
Negative marking = yes (minus 1/4th of the marks allotted to a question)

(https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0DPgaYAtDgmd1BHT2g5WHFndnc/edit?usp=sharing):
there is sectional cutoff but no sectional timing. Theyll give 200 questions to you at once,
and you can solve them in any order within 130 minutes

Section #1: General Awareness (GA)

Let us look at the topic wise breakup of General Awareness, in 2011s RBI preliminary exam.

You can find the actual questions in the appendix below. Even 2010s exam had more or less the
same breakup: heavy emphasis on Economy and Yearbook type of questions. So now let us see
how to approach each of above topics.

How to prepare Economy for RBI exam?

As you look in the last paper, youll see some questions are based on static (theory) portion and
rest are based on dynamic (current affairs). Ive given the reading list accordingly.
There are mainly 5 type of questions that can be asked in economy related MCQs.
1. Youre given a term and four definitions. Youve to find the correct definition. (or vice versa)
2. Youre given a 4-5 organizations and their functions, and youve to match the following.
3. Name of some person and which organization hes related with. (or vice versa)
4. Name of some Government policy/ Act is given, and some statements are given. Youve to
find the correct statements associated with that policy/act.
5. Trivial: Absolute dates and numbers. For example How much money did Government allot
in xyz fund sector? Or what was the repo rate in xyz month? or In which year NABARD was
established?

Problem:
Students devote all their energy in mastering 5th type of questions. But youve to bow down
to the fact that there can be no end to trivial question. What if you prepared NABARDs
establishment year but they asked about LICs year? So the Cost:Benefit ratio is not good.
Therefore Donot get obsessed with trival facts. Because no war is won without sacrificing a
few soldiers. And Nobody expects you to score 100/100 marks whether it is UPSC, RBI or
CAT.
Now here is the reading list/ suggested books.

How to prepare Static Economy (theory)?

1. NCERT economics: can be downloaded for free by clicking me

(https://files.secureserver.net/0fHCh0CLd6Az63)
2. NIOS (National Open School) study material for Economy (can be downloaded for free by
clicking ME (http://files.secureserver.net/0fdAWETp4sONW5)
3. Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh (TMH Publication) (http://www.flipkart.com/indianeconomy-civil-services-examinations-5th/p/itmdfgb8bvemvqvw?
pid=9781259064289&affid=mrunalrugm)
4. For practice-Mock questions given at the end of General studies (GS) manual.
^this is more than sufficient.
(http://www.flipkart.com/indian-economy-civil-services-examinations5th/p/itmdfgb8bvemvqvw?pid=9781259064289&affid=mrunalrugm)
Dont try to get in minute details (for example many topics in NCERT
Class 12 Micro economic.)
As I keep saying, no point in wasting time in Mishra Puri, Dutt
Sundaram, Uma Kapila etc. books theyre written from academic point
of view = not very helpful in competitive exam, time is luxery we dont
have.
Once this is done, use the General Studies manual, and solve all the
mock questions given at the end of its Economy chapter.
If you have one, then well and good.
If you dont have one, then borrow from some friend or visit Government library. There is
absoutely no need to specially buy a GS manual for RBI exam.

How to prepare Dynamic Economy (Current Aairs)?

Prepare highlights of budget 2013 + Economic Survey (lot of content already covered in
Mrunal.org/economy
Any one magazine
I assume youre in the competition business since many months. So youd have a good
collection of current affairs magazines @home. Whether it is CST or Pratiyogita Darpan,

Chronicle or Wizard doesnt matter. Just go through its monthly Economy portion.
Following are the Priority areas in a magazine in descending order of their importance.
1. Economy
2. International
3. National
4. Science tech
5. Persons in News
If you dont have magazine, no worries, go to Government library of your city, all of these
magazines will be available. You dont have to read all of them, just pick any one and go
through it.
You can also visit Competitionmaster.com (he gives monthly current affairs)
You can also read Pratiyogita Darpan online for free: http://pdeng.pdgroup.in/Index.aspx
(http://pdeng.pdgroup.in/Index.aspx)
Question: which magazine to refer? If your sole aim is IAS exam then go for Civil Services
Times.
But if youre simultaneously preparing for IAS+State PSC+Bank/RBI/SSC type of exams= go
for Pratiyogita Darpan. Because he also provides papers for those exams.

Any one newspaper: The Hindu or Indian Express

How to read newspaper = already explained in following article
http://mrunal.org/2012/06/current-affairs-ias.html (http://mrunal.org/2012/06/current-affairsias.html)
You must remember that if you qualify in preliminary exam, youll have to face the descriptive
papers (phase II). And hence, newspaper reading = essential.
And finally the main villain: Mrunal.com/economy (http://www.Mrunal.com/economy)

How to prepare Yearbook

As you saw in the table, 13 questions came from Yearbook.
By the word Yearbook, I mean Government schemes, social Development etc. (boring)
stuff.
There is again no need to buy the book specifically for RBI exam because, Ive already
covered most of the important stuff related to Government schemes, projects etc from the
India yearbook in my summary artiles on Economic Survey (freely available on

Mrunal.org/economy).
Please keep in mind yearbook doesnt mean only the stuff given in that book. They can ask
something from those topics, from current affairs. So do read the newspapers, do go
through the current affairs magazine.

How to prepare International Aairs

1. Any one magazine AND OR Competitionmaster.com
2. Any one newspaper: The Hindu or Indian Express
3. mrunal.org/diplomacy (http://www.mrunal.org/diplomacy)

How to prepare everything else!

I mean to say the miscellaneous topics for RBI exam (seeing last two years papers): history,
polity, geography, science = these are all non-important miscellaneous topics.
But still itd be mistake to go completely blank on other topics. What if some really easy 3-4
questions come?
Therefore I suggest you go through Lucents General Knowledge book.
(http://www.flipkart.com/lucent-s-general-knowledge/p/itmdyqgpdahtxcyp?
pid=9785111109682&affid=mrunalrugm)
With this I conclude how to prepare the General Awareness (GA) portion of RBI Grade B
officers exam.
Now let us move to the aptitude part.

Aptitude
(I put Maths, logical reasoning and English all three into aptitude)

Section #2: Quantitative Aptitude (QA)

The maths is more oriented towards data interpretation rather than conventional profit-loss
type stuff. Go through the old papers (posted at bottom), and prepare topics accordingly. And to
clear the basic concepts of maths, you may use the approach shown in the RBI Assistant exam
articleclick me (http://mrunal.org/2013/06/studyplan-rbi-assistant-exam-topicwise-bookliststrategy-free-studymaterial-previous-years-paper-cut-offs.html#454)

Many articles on mrunal.org/aptitude (http://www.mrunal.org/aptitude)

Practice old Bank PO question papers (can be googled).
ignore trigonometry, geometry (other than area volume perimeter), coordinate geometry
and logerithms.

Priority areas in Quantitative aptitude (QA)

1. Operation on brackets
2. Linear equations
3. Average + alligiation
4. Ratios
5. Profit, Loss, %, SI and CI : all can be solved if youve clear concept of % calculation.
6. Arithmetic and Geography progression.
7. TSDW (Time speed distance and Work): all can be solved using the STD table, if you go
through my old articles on Mrunal.org/aptitude
8. Permutation, Combination, Probability : all can be solved without problem, if you go through
my old articles.
9. Geometry: Area and Volume
10. Venn Diagrams

Non priority areas in QA

1. Geometry: things other than Area, Volume, Perimeter
2. Coordinate Geometry
3. Logerithms
4. Trigonometry
5. Functions and graphs.
^these topics are important for SSC exam but not much for RBI

Data Interpretation (DI)

In this QA (maths) portion, they also asked Data interpretation (DI) questions worth 15 marks, in
2011. There is hardly any theory in DI, all youve to do is practice. Speed (quick calculation) is
extremely important here, otherwise you might end up wasting 20+ minutes in doing barely 5

sums of DI.
Basically DI requires speed in Addition and % calculation and lot of practice from old Bank/IBPS
papers.

How to get speed for maths calculations?

1. Understand this two-digit long division technique explained here click me
(http://mrunal.org/2012/11/aptitude-long-division-two-digit-division-calculation-withouttears-and-without-boring-vedic-speed-maths.html)
2. Understand the Trachtenbergs method for multiplication, especially for 5,9 and 11. plenty of
articles on google, start with this one: click me
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system#Multiplying_by_5)
3. Then practice maximum questions from previous years IBPS/Bank papers.
(There is no harm in learning Vedic maths techniques either but I find Trachtenbergs speed
maths more user-friendly and convenient than Vedic maths.)

Section #3: English Grammar and Comprehension

30 questions came from English portion in RBI 2011 exam.

Priority Areas of English Section

Reading comprehension

There are no secret tricks. Just one word: Practice.

Now where to find practice? Plenty of resources, if only you look for them
1. Pagalguy forum has dedicated threads for it.
2. Just google GMAT reading comprehension or CAT reading comprehension youll come
across plenty of sites providing mock questions.
3. You can also use previous years papers of UPSC, IBPS, Bank PO to practice.

Sentence arrangement/ Correction, Fill in the blanks etc.

I feel the best way to master it = Pagalguy forums CAT thread for it.
For grammar book, If you already have grammar book (R.S.Agarwal, A.P.Bhardwaj) etc. use
it. If you dont have any book, I suggest you go for objective general English by SP Bakshi
(Arihant Publication) (http://www.flipkart.com/objective-generalenglish/p/itmdyuqqgafhtehp?pid=9788183480000&affid=mrunalrugm).

Vocabulary
will helps indirectly in the fill in the blanks + comprehension.
In short, overall approach would be more or less the same as given in earlier How to
prepare English for APFC article Click ME (http://mrunal.org/2012/07/apfc-english.html)

Section #4: Logical Reasoning

If you donot practice enough at home, the Logical reasoning questions can be Sitters (i.e. you
waste lot of time trying to figure out blood relation and sitting arrangement etc)

How to approach LR?

(http://www.flipkart.com/modern-approach-verbal-non-verbalreasoning-8121905516/p/itmdytg8ghhmrq75?
pid=9788121905510&affid=mrunalrugm)
Solve the sums given in this book: Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning
by Dr. R S Aggarwal (http://www.flipkart.com/modern-approachverbal-non-verbal-reasoning-8121905516/p/itmdytg8ghhmrq75?
pid=9788121905510&affid=mrunalrugm)
Problem: the book has about 600 pages and you dont have that
much time.
Well atleast do 10-10 questions from each variety. + ignore the non-verbal portion because
it is not that important for RBI (although important for IBPS).

Priority areas for Logical reasoning

Following topics are important, because usually atleast 4 questions come from each of these.
Blood relations. (generally a case/parapgrah followed by 5 questions)
Sitting Arrangement . (generally a case/parapgrah followed by 5 questions)
Coding decoding
Input output
Inequality (x>y and y<z )
Data sufficiency
Number series- find the next number.
Assumption and inferences
All cats are dogs. Syllogism (technique also explained in Mrunal.org/aptitude)

To sum up
a. For General awareness: Revision important.
a. Priority areas = Economy + Yearbook
For aptitude: Practice important.
Priority areas (already given above)
