RBI Grade B 2024 Syllabus & Exam Pattern (Phase 1, Phase 2 & Interview Round)

Topics Covered: RBI Grade B Exam Pattern for 2024 – Phase 1 and Phase 2 – Subjects, Questions & Marks, RBI Grade B Interview Round & Final Selection, RBI Grade B Officer Syllabus including Phase 1 (Prelims) & Phase 2 (Mains) 

Each year I have students from all over the country confused about the RBI Grade B Syllabus. This year I have made it a point to simplify and spell out the RBI Grade B 2024 Syllabus and Exam Pattern.

Are you wondering why the RBI Grade B 2024 Syllabus is comparatively so unique than all other government exams there?

Well, I say that because not only the RBI Grade B Syllabus but the Exam Pattern is also a complicated one. With both descriptive and objective papers and a mixture of both, RBI Grade B Exam Pattern becomes a unique one.

Now to remind you, it is not a public bank. It is the central bank of the country and studying more by adhering to the syllabus, for a job like this shouldn’t be the problem.

That said, if you make it into the RBI, you will be able to handle the whole banking system of the country. Make different policies to help the country grow exponentially and whatnot.

So, without further ado, let us start with the exam pattern and after that, we will move to the RBI Grade B Syllabus, keeping the RBI Grade B 2024 exam in mind.

Table of Content – RBI Grade B Exam Pattern & Syllabus (Phase 1 & Phase 2)

RBI Grade B 2024 Exam Pattern (Phase-Wise)

While the RBI Grade B 2024 notification is yet to be released, you can refer to the exam pattern which came out previously.  

Here in this article, I have mentioned details regarding exam pattern of 2024 based on information provided in previous year notification. Reading through it, you’ll get an idea about the various aspects of the Phases of the 2024 RBI Grade B Exam.

Aspects, such as the time you get for the exam, the number of questions you get from each section, and whether there is negative marking or not. This is an important thing to analyse while looking at the exam pattern.

Many students who are strong in one section tend to skip that section and focus more on the other sections.

But this is not a good strategy as the RBI Grade B examination has a sectional cut off too. That is why you should also analyse past years’ papers as well.

The whole exam is divided into 3 Phases. I have mentioned the phases below:

    • Prelims
    • Mains
    • Interview

Before moving forward, I would like to tell all my students that while studying hard is important but there is one thing even more important than that and that is studying smart. This can also be seen from the way they have structured the exam.

The initial two phases – Prelims (Phase 1) and Mains Exam (Phase 2) are computer-based written exams.

Prelims is a qualifying phase so don’t give a lot of time to this phase. You don’t want to score the highest in this phase as it doesn’t matter.

Start preparing more for Mains. Scoring high in Mains will make sure that you clear the final cut off easily.

Both Mains and Interview marks are counted in the final selection.

RBI Grade B Exam Pattern Phase 1 (Subjects, Questions & Marks)

Let us start by discussing the exam pattern of the RBI Grade B exam with the division of each phase. Prelims also called Phase 1 has 4 subjects mentioned below:

Sr. No. Name of the Tests (Objective) No. of Questions Maximum Marks Total Duration
1. English Language 30 30 25 minutes
2. Numerical Ability 30 30 25 minutes
3. Reasoning Ability 60 60 45 minutes
4. General Awareness 80 80 25 minutes
Total 200 200 120 minutes
Exam Pattern for RBI Grade B Phase 1

RBI Grade B Exam Pattern Phase 2 (Subjects, Questions & Marks)

According to the RBI Grade B exam pattern, the Mains exam is divided into 3 subjects. 2 of these subjects are objective & subjective in nature but one of them is completely subjective in nature.

Economics & Social Issues (ESI) and Finance & Management (FM) are the two objective & subjective papers in RBI Grade B Phase 2 examination.

On the other hand, the complete descriptive paper is of English in which you are asked an Essay, Precis and Reading Comprehension.

Paper No. of Questions Time Duration Marks
Paper 1: Economic and Social Issues Objective - 30 Questions 30 minutes 50
Descriptive - 6 Questions (to be attempted - 4) 90 minutes 50
Paper 2: English (Writing Skills) Descriptive - 3 Questions (Precis, RCs, & Essay) 90 minutes 100
Paper 3: Finance and Management
(Objective & Descriptive Type Questions)
Objective - 30 Questions 30 minutes 50
Descriptive - 6 Questions (to be attempted - 4) 90 minutes 50

Note: For both Economic & Social Issues and Finance & Management, the RBI Grade B exam pattern states that there will be 30 questions and 50 marks for Objective questions (some questions carrying 2 marks each and some carrying 1 mark each). In the case of Descriptive questions, candidates will be required to attempt only 4 questions (2 of 15 marks each and 2 of 10 marks each). In case, candidate answers more than 4 questions in descriptive, the first 4 shall be evaluated.

RBI Grade B Interview

RBI Grade B Interview is the third and last phase of the Exam. The interview round will be held after you clear the first and subsequently the second phase of the Exam.

That said, only applicants who will clear the minimum sectional cut off and the overall cut off will be called for the interview round.

Also, to show up for the RBI Grade B Interviews, candidates need to download the call letter which will be sent on the individual email of the applicants who have cleared the Phase 2 Exam.

Read more about the RBI Interview Call Letter and Documents Required for verification.

Furthermore, it should be noted that RBI Grade B Interview constitutes a total of 75 marks and carries the weightage of 20% in the final selection. 

Now, you have an option to choose the interview language, i.e., either Hindi or English, before the RBI Grade B interview round as per your convenience. All you have to do while appearing for it is be confident and stay calm.

You will get a panel of 5 people who will mostly ask questions from your background.

Lastly, If you clear all three phases including the RBI Grade B Interview and GD round, you will at that point be called to show up for the medical trial which will be the final hindrance between you and your dream of being an “RBI Grade B Officer”.

Toppers’ Interview Round Strategy

To help you in your RBI Grade B Interview preparation, I have aligned a few past year toppers’ interviews who were my students. They are the ones who actually made it to the final selection.

RBI Grade B 2024 Final Selection

As far as the final selection/merit list of the candidates for the RBI Grade B 2024 Exam is concerned, it will be made by cumulating the marks secured by the candidate in the Phase II exam and the Interview.

So the more you score in the RBI Grade B Mains Exam as well as the Interview round, the higher will be your chances of getting selected to become a Grade B Officer.

As per the usual trends, the list of final selected candidates will be made available on the official RBI website within 2-3 weeks after the RBI Grade B 2024 Interviews get over.

RBI Grade B Syllabus 2024

If you are planning to prepare for RBI Grade B 2024, since the notification for the same is not out yet, you can lay hold of the latest syllabus provided as per the last year notification.  

As the syllabus remains mostly static, for your convenience, in this section, I have mentioned details regarding syllabus based on the notification of 2024.  

So, for your convenience, in this section, I have mentioned the 2024 syllabus.

As you already know by now the RBI Grade B Exam is conducted in 3 Phases (Prelims, Mains & Interview), which comprise 4 written papers (1 in Phase 1 & 3 in Phase 2).

The paper-wise syllabus for all 4 papers has been provided below, but before I discuss that let me tell a bit about the three streams that are available for your choice for the RBI Grade B Exam as I have also listed below the syllabus for different streams.

The available streams are the General stream, the DEPR or the “Department of Economic & Policy Research” stream, and the DSIM or the “Department of Statistics and Information Management” stream.

Now the General stream is what the majority of the RBI grade B aspirants opt for. As for the DEPR and DSIM streams, they are opted for by students mostly specializing in Economics and Statistics, respectively.

In the sections below, I have mentioned in detail the information regarding latest syllabus for the RBI Grade B exams of all the 3 streams. You can download the syllabus from the link provided below.

  3. Sir can I prepare simultaneously for UPSC and RBI grade B? Or should I first go for UPSC preparation wholeheartedly and if unsuccessful then go for RBI? I mean what should be the metric according to you?

    Reply
    • Hello Kartavya,
      It depends on various variables. For ex –
      If you have been trying for UPSC since years and unable to succeed, then you should go for RBI.
      If you are a fresher and have no financial burden, you should go for UPSC wholeheartedly.
      If you are a fresher and have a financial burden, you can prepare for both UPSC and RBI to secure a job and reduce that financial burden.
      You can decide accordingly.

  7. Thank You so much for this content, I don't know much about this exam, so my question is there are three types of vacancies I can see, General, DEPR, and DSIM. I want to know, do they take separate 3 exams for these three and do I have to fill 3 different forms also if I want to appear for all three(In case). I want to know about why three types of vacancies are their.

    Thank You.

  12. Good Evening Sir,
    I am working as CSO (Confirmed in April 2023), I guess, you might have already understood the work pressure, work culture. Sir I am 28 and all I have is 2 years to have a job with better work-life balance. I might possess some knowledge related to RBI Grade B syllabus, still I would consider myself as beginner. Honestly, is it possible to crack without leaving the current job?.
