guys any idea when application will be out for grade B officer??? m really out of touch..
@Deepesh08 said:@Inspiracion Thanks sir.. As and when u get time please answer my following queries as well :1.How much time is devoted on class room training ? Are we shifted to all the three centres or just at one (Chennai)?2.Do we get our centre just after the starting training or are called in between for further training?3.How long is the probation period and is there any confirmation test?4.What is the take home salary ?Plus the benefits as well?5.What sort of profile is given to a starting Grade B officer and what is expected of him ?6.The work load and the company culture at large
Apologies for the late reply as I was out of town.
1. The class room module would be 6 weeks long, and would be held in 2 batches at RBSC Chennai.
2. I assume by Centre you refer to the place of posting...
Postings are generally given out in the last week of the classroom module of training. You would be required to attend other trainings as and when necessary.

Probation period is 2 years, but may be extended in some rare cases. Whether a confirmation test is to be held or not depends on HR regulations that may be amended. Currently no confirmation test.
4. Take home salary is about 35-36k after deductions. Benefits will be explained after at RBSC, not the appropriate forum to discuss this 
5. You would be appointed as a Manager and would generally be heading a section within a dept, with 10-15 people reporting directly to you. 
6. Work load varies with the dept but is generally more relaxed than a commercial bank 
Hope this helps

Sir,
You do not need a coaching institute for the RBI exam, just razor sharp focus, tons of hard work and a dash of pagalguy

@harshasaripalli said:Nice to see so many puys coming forward to share their strategy €Ś. Since most of it has already been shared, I would focus on more specific details of the prep.STEPS TO CRACK APTITUDE TEST OF PHASE 1:-(1) Buy a book that contains model papers that are close match to old question papers(Since old question papers are not available as RBI takes them back after exam)I would recommend this book:RBI GRADE B PHASE 1(2) Attempt one model paper without any time limit in mind, to solve all the Qs. This will enable you to know what are all the POSSIBLE MODELS/TYPES of questions that you can expect in your final exam on the d-day.(3) Take any standard aptitude book(eg:- RS Agarwal) and try to practice all the problems under those MODELS/TYPES. After practice you WILL know your comfort areas and those types in which you are not comfortable with.(4) Grab the model Q Paper book and solve around 3 tests under exam conditions. Analyse after each test to find out your mistakes and if you have not attempted any easy Qs.(5) Attempt next model tests with an attitude to solve easy questions first and you will find that your score has improved.(6) Be cool and confident on the real exam day.--- TIP: Any attitude test has easy, moderate and difficult problems. If you solve all the easy problems correctly and atleast some of the moderate Questions then you would clear the aptitude test FOR SURE.But the real challenge is how to spot those easy Qs??This is something that is exam specific. Luckily its easier for the RBI exam since the pattern over the years is not changing and we have access to set of model Q papers that almost match the standard of the real exam. (refer step 1)Below is the list that I prepared for myself based on the level of difficulty (increasing order).LETS TAKE THE CASE OF ENGLISH:(1) CLOZE TEST (real lollypop Qs )(with in 2 mins you would be finishing around 8 Qs!! )(2) FILL UP THE BLANKS (EASY- MODERATE)(Can be attempted in less time)(3) READING COMPREHENSION (EASY TO MODERATE)(4) GRAMMER QUESTIONS( TOUGH- because chances of mistakes are high)(5) JUMBLED SENTENCES (TOUGHER- because, consumes lot of time to solve a single Q)In the exam, generally we wont be able to read all the Questions. But the one who starts solving the English section in the order of : 5>4>3>2>1 is in real danger of not attempting (1) and (2) models and therefore would loose out by either failing to clear the sectional cutoff or landup in low scores. Infact one can clear sectional cutoff by just solving (1) and (3) types.That's why we often hear cases of average people toping aptitude tests and also cases of gifted loosing out.On the real exam day, as far as my memory goes, I have just attempted (1), (2) and (3) type of questions in that order.FOR QUANT: ( Increasing order of Difficulty)(1) Data Sufficiency(2) Data Interpretation(3) P &C;, Probability (4) Other Quant Qs(5) Calculation based Qs(6) Number seriesFOR LR: (Increasing order of difficulty)(1) Data sufficiency(2) Single Qs (ie not those Qs that have multiple sub Qs)(3) Symbols and Notations(4) Directions(5) Arrangements(6) > = (7) Syllogism Reasoning(8) Blood Relations(9) Statement and assumptions, conclusions etc(10) Ven Diagrams(11) Number series(12) INPUT- OUTPUT(13) Several other Questions with multiple sub questions types(14) Non verbal ReasoningFor LR, I request you to prepare your own priority list like above based on your practice experiences.CONTINGENCY PLAN:The above priority list is prepared based on model question papers(prepared based on old Q papers). But on a bad day RBI may decide to change its pattern and introduce toughest CLOZE TEST. Though such situation is very unlikely, Be flexible enough and move on to next model without wasting much time in the shock.For example in LR section, in my real exam I solved questions only from (1) to (9) but in between I left (8) because I found it tough Q and therefore moved forward without spending much time on it.This way anyone with a reasonable practice can crack any non-adaptive aptitude test.I will draft an other post soon for the phase 2 preparation once the marks are out ...ATB!!
