rbi has introduce new pattern for grade " b" exam. and also of books as suggested reading.
Puys how is the book Misra and Puri on Indian economy ? I already have IC Dhingra with me .. Would it still be a good buy ? How does it fare as compared to Dutt and Sundaram ? Or is there any other 'good' book on Indian economy ?
Hello puys, Please shed some light on the changed pattern of RBI GR B exam. As we know Phase-I is of objective but what about Phase II? Are they descriptive papers or "OBJECTIVE MCQ's." B'coz in the notification, RBI clearly mentioned that Phase -I is of objective MCQ's where as, Phase-II is of MCQ pattern. Does that mean Phase-II is objective type? or descriptive pattern with choice of choosing questions to write theory?
Hii All,
Anyone having ebook or pdf of UMA KAPILA economy book??

Hey why everybody become quite about the eligibility change ?????????? Does any of u HV any news abt it??????¿??? if anybody knw whether positive or negative plz let me knw.................
Which book are you referring for International Economics, books mentioned by RBI for International Economics are of very advanced level.
To all the guys who are confused about the books, RBI would definitely focus only on conceptual questions and that we can read in every good book. Ramesh Singh or Uma kapila, is going to explain the same concept in different verbose. Grasp the concept and keep it strong on your mind. Even I myself was confused, but realised that books are different but concepts remain the same. To everyone who has only basic idea of economics, then I would suggest Ramesh Singh. Make sure that you cover the syllabus, if you think some topic lacks depth in Ramesh Singh note it and then do borrow the other books mentioned in RBI's list and get it cleared. Pattern change, eligibility change are hurdles thrown at us, some we can overcome and some we can't. Whatever happens, it is only for our good if we are true to ourselves. And it is high time we start posting things that are useful and help us clear the exam. And I guess that should have been the ultimate idea behind starting this thread, right?

Friends can you please throw some light on how to prepare for Phase 1
General Awareness portion? I mean how important are topics like History,
Geo, Polity, Science, etc. (that is, topics other than Economy, Current
Affairs and Banking Awareness)? Seeking your valuable suggestions...
In RBI Phase 2..
Paper 1 is descriptive but what about the Paper 2 and optional Paper 3..
whether Paper 2 is subjective and Is there any need to attempt Paper 3.
If paper 2 is subjective with MCQ, than how many Q will be ask.
And Please let me know In phase 2, all these Paper(1,2,3) has a 90 minutes of each or it's 90 min total time to attempt all these paper(1.2.3).
Please reply.
Thanks In advance.
Objective vs Subjective papers ?
The basic difference between subjective paper and objective paper is that while in the first an exam taker has opportunity to write an answer even if that candidate has even a little knowledge about subject. Something if not nothing. However, in objective paper it is all or nothing. Either one knows the answer or one does not .
General belief is that one can simply skim through model or sample MCQs and get ready for exam. It does work sometimes but mostly it is luck thing and not an intelligent choice.
The secret to definitely excel in MCQs type paper lies in the way one prepares for exam.
With descriptive paper going out of window in RBI selection process, concepts and knowledge has become more important.One needs to rethink in that direction.
Also, that has also rendered all books on equal ground as concepts are similar in all. One should choose book which (a) have maximum syllabus and (b) one find easy to comprehend.
Now, whereas Phase-1 preparation is easy as there are no changes than earlier years. Phase -II is different.
There are endless possibilities in Finance, Economics and Management when it comes to MCQs/Objective (even in social issues) . Unless one prepares through text books, syllabus will never be covered.
e.g. Take Maslow's theory (earlier question in Gr B exam). When one is supposed to write it for 10-20 marks, one can fill 2-5 pages depending on one's ability to remember and correlate.
However, when it is Objective paper : Questions can be : (1)what is the most primal need in MNH Theory, (2) employment falls in which need, (3)depression is hindrance in fulfilling what need as per MNHT, (4) what are the b-needs in MNHT, (5) what are the d-needs, (6) acceptance is 'Self-actualisation need' or 'Love/Belonging need' ?.... and so on and on and on....
What it means is that while test series / objective samples available in the market may be good for testing one's knowledge , THEY WILL NOT PREPARE A CANDIDATE FOR EXAM. Now, the only option is to jump into books and STUDY.
While studying, think that what can be questions formed out of this topic, make notes, and revise.
It is not difficult, it is just different.
Best of Luck.
Respected Sir,
Sub: Request for change in Education Qualification criteria
We are an aspiring applicant for RBI grade B officers exam would like to seek your attention towards the Education Qualification criteria of having 60% or above marks in 10+2 as well as in graduation is a bit unfair on the candidates who have been studying throughout the year for a job in the most reputed and trusted financial institution of the country.
We all are putting our best efforts to succeed but it is really hurting that we might be left out from the competition just because we did not score 60% marks some five to 10 years ago in our college or school.
The whole revised recruitment process is very good and is welcomed by the aspirants, it gives a clear picture to the aspirants that what is required of the from the organisation except the education qualification criteria.
Hence, it is my humble request that the HR looks into the matter and keeps the education qualification criteria same as it has been for previous years. this will not only boost the morale of the candidates but also provide good and competitive candidates for the valued post.
The Reserve Bank of India has been doing a wonderful job in shaping the economy of the country by regulating and supervising the commercial Banks and keeping a healthy competition among all the banks then why not the same for candidates appearing for the exams. RBI also by safeguards the interests of the public by making Banking standard codes for customer service we would be highly obliged if one more customer request is accepted.
Yours faithfully,
RBI Grade "B" Aspirant.
