Candidates Enrolled in RBI DEPR Full-Course or Indian Economy Course

We are beginning the practice of Essay Writing from 14 July onwards. We intend to practice a few Essays and this practice should come handy for the RBI and SEBI Exams !

You will be told the broad topic for the Essay in advance. You have to prepare that topic and then attempt the Essay within the deadline of the next 4-7 days !

Topic for Essay-1 : Indian Economy Class on 'Industry'. The exact topic will be contemporary in nature. Hence, your focus should be on contemporary issues / current affairs related to this broad topic.

How to Attempt : We will share the details later

The key is to PRACTICE through these sessions, especially if you are presently underconfident with descriptive writing. With practice, your writing skills will improve !

Candidates who are enrolled in the Full-Course for the 2025 Attempt : Whether to attempt these Tests right now or not, is your personal decision.

Even if you skip these Tests at this stage, don't worry. We will have similar sessions before the 2025 attempt.

RBI DEPR 2024 Notification expected on 18 July 2024 (tentatively). Phase-1 exam expected in September.

Approx 75 days to go for the Phase-1 Exam. Sufficient time to prepare for anyone who has the basics in place !

Time to pull up your socks !

In 2017, I had watched the videos of this channel to prepare some portion of Computer Awareness (that was a part of NABARD common paper)

It has some content for general exam preparation (But please remember that not videos are relevant from your point of view).

Check the Playlists for Static portion (Quant, etc.)

Similarly, you can find many other YouTube channels which are providing such content. Explore, if you find it relevant

I had first interacted with Parul in January-2022 and she had enrolled with us for the RBI DEPR Test Series in June 2022.

She had qualified RBI DEPR 2022 Phase-1 Exam but unfortunately, didn't go through Phase-2.

In January 2023, when we were discussing something, she mentioned that she is considering skipping the RBI DEPR Exam in 2023, since she has time to prepare only for one exam and she wanted to dedicate that time solely to IES 2023 Exam.

I had strongly urged her not skip RBI DEPR Exam. The reason was that I had seen her Mock Tests (our Test Series) attempts for the 2022 Exam. They were very good !

I had told her she can continue focusing only on IES 2023 and even with that preparation only, she will be in a good position to attempt RBI DEPR Exam. Indeed, she Made it through !

From being indecisive about appearing for the exam in January to being Rank-2 in that exam later that year... that's quite an incredible journey !

Her intelligence and hard work made sure that she sailed through with flying colors this year.

There can be moments of weakness in everyone's life, no matter how good we are. But we are not defined by those moments.

Work hard. Prepare well. Practice intelligently. Try to do your best in the upcoming exams !

All the best !

For candidates who will be giving their first attempt at RBI DEPR in 2024... Here's the info on exam pattern followed in 2023 !

Last Date : 30 July

Cut-off date for eligibility: 01 June 2024

If you are eligible, then you must fill the form and appear for the exam

These days, in newspapers, you will find many editorials on what the Union Budget should do and what it shouldn't.

You should try to follow these articles. They will help you grasp points on what all different sectors of the economy need for faster growth.

In reality, these points may or may not be incorporated into the budget

But you may get some good points to write (in exams) about these sectors in your answers.

Try to make very brief notes of relevant points.

Bottom Line: I know that many exams are lined up now. This was expected. Prioritise and decide how much time you want to devote to different exams. Even if you decide to devote all your time to a single exam, that’s fine. However, you should still go and appear for the remaining exams. It will help your preparation of that exam which you are targeting seriously.

Remember, there is only a single Phase of the Examination process, followed by the Interview (maybe GD as well).
Marks of Exam will be counted in arriving at final merit list.

Here's the marksheet of candidate selected last year on NaBFID Economist post

Like I tell you, do the 'high probability topics / questions' first.

After that, depending on time left, then go to the "important low probability" topics

And If you still have time left, only then go to " less-important low probability topics"

Exam dates are expected to be notified soon. We are in the final round of preparation. Make smart choices w.r.t how you devote your time !
