Document from RBI Opportunities webpage describing role of various Depts of RBI and more importantly, role of Grade B DRs in these Depts. More useful from Interview point of view

Seems to be a great opportunity for those of you interested in gaining experience in public service!

Hi friends, my friend from RBI Grade B interview, Dhaval S, had recently cleared NABARD Grade A exam in the Chartered Account specialist category.

He has kindly provided me with a document detailing his thoughts, prep strategy and material he used for NABARD Grade A (CA).

Superb performance by the entire Indian Tokyo contingent, and of course an incredible achievement today by Neeraj Chopra 🥇

Hi friends, came across this quote and found it to be really motivating. Discipline does make a big difference while studying for competitive exams like RBI Grade B.

Grade B 2021 result are out. Cutoffs and marks should be out soon. Those of you who couldn't make it to the list, assess your weak areas based on this year's marks and make improving upon those your first priority, rather than studying things you already know again and again.

Those who made it to the interview but couldn't make it to the final list, do not be disheartened. You are as good as those who made it to the list, if not better. Margins between marks of successive candidates who appear for interviews are really small, and sadly, a lot depends upon luck at this stage. There is no difference in the hard work and conceptual clarity of those who make it to the final list and those who don't. All the best for your future endeavours!!
