Gunzerker @SD100 Bro,i have done masters in economics,so didn't really had to prepare for economics.i just read a bit about Banking/finance (INDIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM-KHAN) & that's it.For management i read stephen robbins.You can look into some previous pages on this thread for more.People who have qualified this yr. were kind enough to share book list & schedule,which they followed religiously.All the best !!!

Anybody, those who are selected in RBI last year, please tell, when will the notification of next Grade B come?

i have heard that rbi recruits from mba colleges directly for grade b is it true?which are those colleges...any idea.

Basic salary will be approx 21k and in all it will reach above 50k + the respect and prestige which is above all the money related stuffsBTW is there any chance that RBI will come with Grade B offciers vacancy this year as well and if yes,then when can we expect the notification for the same??

all of these questions related to rbi
well here is my friend working in rbi lucknow as assistant he had this to say

monday to friday office
timings- 9:30 to 5: 30 [ they are pretty much strict on office timings at start of the day , says if one is late by 10 minutes then it is counted late ]

what work he is doing currently -- he is some " chest vault" -- i don't know the excat word but he mentioned this
what he does -- makes a deposit of " soil " notes or maybe it is pronounce "shoil " these are mostly those notes which are basically torn or not in proper condition like muddy or very old he has to make a note of these notes daily and deposit them , make a daily account of these notes .

his salary -- in hand around 22k with amenities like 25 litre petrol and other food itmes [ though i am not sure on food items ]

grade a officers -- he said as per policy assitants become grade a officers in 3 years and he told me that almost whole rbi is retiring now so assistants would be made grade a officers almost for sure because banks don't have enough manpower so the banks authority will make sure assistants become grade a officers atleast in lucknow in a gist -- men are less and ppl are retiring so banks have no choice rather than to make assitants grade a officers . he said he has seen close to 15 retirements in last 4 months

grade a would be getting close to 40+ for sure infact he said 50 +

grade b notification -- he told no idea but as per conditions be hopeful as whole manpower is retiring
