I know I'm late but just got to know that result has come (SBI posted me in Jammu where my sim card doesn't work)
And the good part is that I've too been selected in the Chandigarh circle of RBI... Feeling utmost relieved.. 😊
Congrats to the other selectees as well 😃 :)
Hi puys.. I know I am late but I cant resist sharing my experience here.. I hope most of them are aware of the Chennai floods and I am stuck here in Chennai praying that situation will get better.. I was not not even able to communicate to my mom back home in my native who was sceptical about my safety.. And Grade-b phase 2 exams are on monday and the venue which is supposed to conduct the exam is flooded.. No power, No food, No mobile signal.. Totally cut off from the outside world.. As I was moving towards safer zone, I saw a plethora of people in a fly over(as it is higher than ground level) who were trying to contact their dear ones.. Unfortunately my network still did not work.. I was anxious for 2 reasons: 1.RBI assistant result 2.Info about conduct of grade B phase 2 exams... finally I asked for a phone from a random person(who is the GOD for that moment) and immediately called my friend staying in Salem to look at the RBI site.. As soon as I came to know that RBI assistant result has been declared, my voice trembled in an already feeble signal.. I knew my Roll No. by heart as we had mastered it while submitting forms.. I quickly gave the number to him and my heart skipped a beat as soon as he started searching for my number.. And finally he told "Anna congrats..select aagitinga(Bro, Congrats..u got selected).. And that turned out to be a sweet sweet gift for me after being struck in floods without proper food,signal,power. No words to share my happiness here.. Thanks for all the posts here for keeping me motivated 😃 And congrats to everyone.. And ppl from Chennai region, We shall form a WA group 😃

What Raghuram Rajan says regarding job at RBI -
Work until you no longer have to introduce yourself....just a quote I read 😃
Any idea about joining date? Will there be any training and are they going to send everyone to Mumbai for it?
What to choose? RBI or any PO(Except SBI)
Most people were asking, and as I had time for analysis, here is what I found. ( Source - Chat with ex-employees, internet search)
Choose RBI assistant anyday.
General analysis :
Pros
RBI Assistant
1. No public dealing.
2. Sexy infrastructure.
3. Same zone posting.
4. Competent colleagues/Boss.
5. You will gain 10 times knowledge at RBI than at "some" bank(because you don't have to focus on customers, rather than you'll have time to focus on indian banking and on its nitty gritties).
6. Fixed work timings. 9 to 5:15. If you work overtime, they will have to pay, so no one is allowed to work overtime. *Yayy*
7. No rural posting. You'll be posted in well developed metros/classA cities.
8. LFC applicable in 2 years in comparison to other banks(4 years). Normal bank employees aren't allowed foreign trips(under LFC) whereas RBIans are allowed.
9. CTC of a Grade A manager( for which you become eligible in 3 years) is more than scale 2 PO. In hand salary will be less, but including perks it surpass the salary of a person joining as PO. So 5 years down the line, RBI assistant will have an upperhand.
10. Minimal workload. If you need to prepare for civil services/other exams, you'll have ample amount of time.
11. You'll be able to live your life peacefully. A PO is not a bad post or job, but yes, not comparable to RBI.
12. Transfer policy is best among PSUs. On request transfer option available.
13. Salary revision is due in february 2016. So you'll be earning almost what a PO earns(1-2k less) from february along with aforementioned benefits.
14. Brand RBI
Cons.
1. Post is Assistant, so people/relatives will have just this one point to showcase their jeolousy.
I, myself, am expecting around 115+(attempts 136) in PO-5 but have no plans to appear for the interview.
Other thing, Asking on this forum will just confuse you. One working with SBI will cry about his workload and suggest RBI asst. One peacefully working with RBI and hungry for money will advice you to go for SBI/IBPS scale 1,2,3 and bla bla. Analyze your situation yourselves. What do you want in life? Money, peace, or any other thing and then take a decision.
P.s Someone asked about this, wasn't able to comment this on his post, so posted here.
@nitishjain.ce
EDIT - When it comes to SBI - You get brand, more workload, more pressure with more money and faster growth(even with growth, pressure increases exponentially). So its real tough to compare in case of SBI. It flushes down to your personal choice then.
pls suugest SBI PO (selected n joined recently ) ..or RBI ASSISTANT ???? guys i m in much dilemma...cant think of a choice so any valuable input will be useful
