UPDATE (August-05-2013): As per the RBI Handout for 2013s Prelim: there is sectional cutoff but no sectional timing. Theyll give 200
questions to you at once, and you can solve them in any order within 130 minutes

You can find the actual questions in the appendix below. Even 2010s exam had more or less the same breakup: heavy emphasis on Economy
and Yearbook type of questions. So now let us see how to approach each of above topics.
Youre given a term and four definitions. Youve to find the correct definition. (or vice versa)
Youre given a 4-5 organizations and their functions, and youve to match the following.
Name of some person and which organization hes related with. (or vice versa)
Name of some Government policy/ Act is given, and some statements are given. Youve to find the correct statements associated with that
policy/act.
5. Trivial: Absolute dates and numbers. For example How much money did Government allot in xyz fund sector? Or what was the repo rate in
xyz month? or In which year NABARD was established?
Problem:
Students devote all their energy in mastering 5th type of questions. But youve to bow down to the fact that there can be no end to trivial
question. What if you prepared NABARDs establishment year but they asked about LICs year? So the Cost:Benefit ratio is not good.
Therefore Donot get obsessed with trival facts. Because no war is won without sacrificing a few soldiers. And Nobody expects you to score
100/100 marks whether it is UPSC, RBI or CAT.
Now here is the reading list/ suggested books.
Download
Download
Microeconomics Class 12
Download
Macroeconomics Class 12
Download
2. NIOS (National Open School) study material for Economy (can be downloaded for free by clicking ME
3. Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh (TMH Publication)
4. For practice-Mock questions given at the end of General studies (GS) manual.
^this is more than sufficient.
Dont try to get in minute details (for example many topics in NCERT Class 12 Micro economic.)
As I keep saying, no point in wasting time in Mishra Puri, Dutt Sundaram, Uma Kapila etc. books theyre written from
academic point of view = not very helpful in competitive exam, time is luxery we dont have.
Once this is done, use the General Studies manual, and solve all the mock questions given at the end of its Economy
chapter.
If you have one, then well and good.
If you dont have one, then borrow from some friend or visit Government library. There is absoutely no need to
specially buy a GS manual for RBI exam.
Prepare highlights of budget 2013 + Economic Survey (lot of content already covered in Mrunal.org/economy
Any one magazine
I assume youre in the competition business since many months. So youd have a good collection of current affairs magazines @home.
Whether it is CST or Pratiyogita Darpan, Chronicle or Wizard doesnt matter. Just go through its monthly Economy portion.
Following are the Priority areas in a magazine in descending order of their importance.
1. Economy
2. International
3. National
4. Science tech
5. Persons in News
If you dont have magazine, no worries, go to Government library of your city, all of these magazines will be available. You dont have to
read all of them, just pick any one and go through it.
You can also visit Competitionmaster.com (he gives monthly current affairs)
You can also read Pratiyogita Darpan online for free: http://pdeng.pdgroup.in/Index.aspx
Question: which magazine to refer? If your sole aim is IAS exam then go for Civil Services Times.
But if youre simultaneously preparing for IAS+State PSC+Bank/RBI/SSC type of exams= go for Pratiyogita Darpan. Because he also
provides papers for those exams.
Aptitude
converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
(I put Maths, logical reasoning and English all three into aptitude)
Operation on brackets
Linear equations
Average + alligiation
Ratios
Profit, Loss, %, SI and CI : all can be solved if youve clear concept of % calculation.
Arithmetic and Geography progression.
TSDW (Time speed distance and Work): all can be solved using the STD table, if you go through my old articles on Mrunal.org/aptitude
Permutation, Combination, Probability : all can be solved without problem, if you go through my old articles.
Geometry: Area and Volume
Venn Diagrams
^these topics are important for SSC exam but not much for RBI
converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
Vocabulary
will helps indirectly in the fill in the blanks + comprehension.
In short, overall approach would be more or less the same as given in earlier How to prepare English for APFC article Click ME
converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
If you donot practice enough at home, the Logical reasoning questions can be Sitters (i.e. you waste lot of time trying to figure out blood
relation and sitting arrangement etc)
To sum up
1. For General awareness: Revision important.
1. Priority areas = Economy + Yearbook
For aptitude: Practice important.

While filing my SBI online application, I chose B.Tech under Others rather than Science. Is it fine or will I have to change
the stream to Science? I request you to reply..

Sir
RBI notification is out. Under the education qualification column they have mentioned that the aggregate of % means
aggregate of % over the entire duration of the course. I got less than 60% in first year of degree but my aggregate for all
years of course is more than 60%. So am i eligible for this exam or not??
