RBI Exams Preparation Resources

Hi Puys,

This is recycled from one of my earlier posts last year on the same thread (page 23). Please let me know if you need any help from my side on the mains. You can PM me ;-)

Quick Alert.

Received a postal email yesterday, purportedly from RBI, at my office address.
Began as a quick congratulatory mail, and had a Mains sample paper attached. I'll skip the blah and get down to brass tacks.

Quote - "If you are a working professional, and do not have time to read through hard copy books. We have prepared a material especially for the RBI Mains exams for each of the section, cost Rs. 3300/subject. Ie total to 9,900/-. Please contact the email id '[email protected]'. Orders accepted till May 6th only. "

Red flags that got my mind ticking
Rediffmail link. RBI would use a reserve bank domain name to send any mail.
No official seal of RBI
No address, phone numbr or other details, except the quoted email id.
Why would RBI, whose exam form cost Rs. 100 sell study materials for Rs. 9900. This results in direct advantage to those with money to shell out.
To confirm this called the RBI services board, and they confirmed that they did not send any such mail.

Looks like someone's out to make a quick buck. Please beware and disregard any such mail

go google list of admitted candidates for rbi grade b prelims. you will get a pdf. a long one. search for the name/address there, you will get the roll number.

guys has anybody tried to takeout the print of Rbi challan? I am facing a very unusual problem after downloading the challan. The challan which I have downloaded after successfully registering the application online is double faced and it has two two copies of bank and candidate copy, moreover these double copied challans are overlapping on different pages because of which I will have to take the printout of both the pages. Is anyone else also facing this abrupt problem?
