ASPIRANT { @Priynk

to be optimistic..but let
me share some facts
with you 1. Compared to
Myself Manojkumar- like many of you, Im a small town boy aspiring for bigger things in life. Like most of the aspirants do, I entered into the
fray of competitive examinations by starting preparation for UPSC civil services examination. Economics as an important and contemporary
subject was very new to me as I did not have even a little of exposure about the subject in school/college. Everything was new and interesting

and more importantly it made me think more as the subject is more dynamic and mathematical. Two months into the preparation and I came
to know about RBIs Grade B ocer examination. One of my friend told me at that point of time that his sister had appeared for the exam an

would jump into Grade B exam preparation
General thoughts:
Preparation has to be two pronged: one for phase 1 and other one for phase 2. It is wise to approach the exam topic by topic rather than
going book by book. Reading precise and staying up to the point is essential as the exam is objective. At the same time, it is also required to
Prelim-2016:
get the conceptual clarity (if not in depth, at least a basic clarity) as some questions did test the concept clarity. Moreover, English writing skills
Environment,
and interview requires a fair understanding of concepts. Books suggested and reference books given by RBI board are too big to cover. It is
Agriculture,
only by sticking to the syllabus that we can try conquering it to the best of our satisfaction. It is better to start the preparation with phase 2 and
Geography, Florathen move on to phase 1 with one or 1.5 months before the exam.
(http://mrunal.org/2016/08/answerkeyupsc-csat16Ice breaker and general approach:

Ganesh is a very good book as it explains things in a simple (simpler than NCERT) and lucid manner that anyone can understand. 10 chapters

and a very small book, so it always keeps you in the groove so that you feel condent once you complete the book. Chapters involving capital
markets might look slightly complex but repeated readings can make it look easy. Crux here is to get a feel of what economics is and how it is
very much important in the current context of nation building. And moreover, it covers basics of many topics in our syllabus such as WTO,
Important Agricultural
Banking, National income, Budget, etc. It is better to institutionalise the terms by taking up discussions or taking mock vivas among friends.

As this exam is a test of banking/economic knowledge, there is a common misperception that one needs to study newspapers like Mint,
Financial express, Economic Times, etc. But this is not the case here. I am not discouraging you to follow the above mentioned newspapers.
But it is always better to channelize the resources available to get the best utility out of it. It is more than enough to stick with THE HINDU.
The rst paper of the syllabus reads Economic and Social issues. Issues is the key word here signaling that the contemporary part needs to
be given more importance than the static basic parts. Also hardcore nancial and economic dailies cover topic in a way that might not connect

sections would take only 30-40 minutes and you would have covered 110 questions. Scoring high in General awareness is very important as
Quants and Logical reasoning sections are really tough to get through where clearing the sectional cut os should be the aim.
Phase II
I am mentioning here the static areas to be covered under these topics. It is very essential to update the same with contemporary
areas in these topics from newspapers, Budget, Economic Survey, Yojana, Vision IAS current aairs etc

Essay and Precise writing were the two questions asked in this paper with 50 marks each in both the questions. The name is self-explanatory
where in writing skills play a major role for scoring high in this paper. This is something that comes with practice in writing. In order to improve
writing in subsequent iterations, it is always important to read quality content. And Essay topics would be mostly from current socio economic
issues. So there need not be a separate content that has to be read for this paper. It is all about putting the content in the right format and
structure. Practicing essays and getting it reviewed from a peer who is really good at content pertaining to the topic and English language
should be the key. Editorials in The Hindu which are very relevant to current economic scenario can be agged, noted and revised for some
good fodder and key stats. Economic survey, Budget, Yojana articles can spice up your essay when mixed in right proportion. It is also
important not to take precise writing lightly. Taking help from online resources and practicing is a must. All these small things will denitely
pave way for a bigger thing-i.e. success

Questions were very basic and hence a basic understanding of all management terms in the
syllabus is more than enough. Online resources and Wikipedia would help
Other sources to be read:
Yojana- This would provide an analytical understanding of current schemes and hence facts would become a matter of simplicity once
analytical thoughts are developed
Vision IAS current aairs- Contemporary aairs are the most sought in any competitive exam. This would provide a monthly break up of
current aairs and hence note making need not be done by us which would save a lot of time
Daytodaygk.com- Monthly PDFs of current aairs (factual). This is mainly useful for General awareness section of phase 1
Interview:
Not getting shortlisted in the nal stage after crossing phase 2 doesnt mean that you have solely lost it because of a poor show in the
interview. Most of them fall behind in phase 2 and even a better score in interview wont help. So it is always better that phase 2 marks are
suciently above the cut o marks so that it would provide the cushion even if something drastic happens in the interview. However it is best
to approach the interview with an open mind without speculating what we would get for the interview. The panel would be very friendly and
tries to bring the best in you. So it is very important not to panic to express what you try to convey. One has to really make sure that one is
100% sure about the things mentioned in the bio data which was sought by RBI services board before the interview. It is even ok to have a
simple resume but overstating and not able to justify your stand will bring curtains. It is even ok to say Dont know but making sure that the
previous questions poor impact doesnt get reected in the next one is very essential. This would put a test on your resilience and ability to
perform under adverse conditions. Mock interviews are a matter of discretion and even self-talks are enough if you are condent. Create own
questions and answer it as many times as you can. Throw up all the weird questions with respect to your resume and get it answered before
you step into the interview hall

Conclusion:
At the end of the day, even after so much preparation there would be questions that looks unanswerable. What we are doing here is to equip
ourselves with all the weapons in our armory to make sure we win the battle even if we lose some soldiers. Presence of mind and application
on the exam day are also going to be vital as this is an objective exam and hence elimination is the best way to go. Customize yourself by
taking a good understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. You could be a Civil Service aspirant or a Banking aspirant or solely a RBI
aspirant. Adjust accordingly and launch your preparation. All the Best!

Hello Manoj,
Many congratulations on your success.
It would be great help if you could please guide through the economic issues part. Will iasvision notes suce
for the same? Though you have mentioned NCERT 12TH , however, I am unable to locate several topics in it
stated in the rbi notication.
manoj
Thank you vartika!! Vision notes are pretty good and it kinda covers many contemporary issues..There are
few topics in the syllabus which are slightly redundant like the 13th nance commission and so those
topics can be ignored.. See to it
rahul

Hi Manoj. Congrats! Please let me know one thing, what is the transfer and posting policy for RBI Grade B? Can
