I can understand how RBI Grade B preparation can make you exhausted and stressed over time. You all must be thinking that there’s so much to study, and you don’t know where to begin. But the truth is that you don’t need to know and become an expert on everything.
Instead of drowning in the entire RBI Grade B Syllabus, what you can do is start with 5 easy, high-scoring topics that will build your confidence. These topics of the RBI Grade B are the low-hanging fruit with low competition.
I can reassure you that there is no doubt that the RBI Grade B exam is competitive and tough. To feel motivated and gain confidence in your RBI grade B journey, you need to focus on quick wins. What I mean by quick wins is, put more time and energy on easier topics rather than tough ones, and lose your confidence.
So, let’s see and analyze the 5 easiest topics so that you can begin preparing for the RBI Grade B!
-
Simplification & Approximation (Quantitative Aptitude)
There is some truth when students say that maths is difficult. However, when you start preparing Quantitative Aptitude for the RBI Grade B, the topics are of every range. There are some easy topics that only require basic calculations.
To answer your next obvious question, “Why is it easy?”
To answer your question, Simplification & Approximation questions can be solved by simple BODMAS rules. In the recent exams, we have seen that straightforward questions were asked. This will also help you in building speed for the RBI Grade B exam. You also need to put more effort in accuracy if there are any tough questions while practicing.
How to prepare for Simplification & Approximation:
- You need to practice 10-15 questions daily. You need to aim that you solve these problems in under 30 seconds.
- You can put more time into learning shortcuts that will save you time during the exam.
-
Reading Comprehension (English)
This topic is one of those where you don’t have to be a grammar expert. You need to read smartly and practice because it is one of the highest-scoring topics in the RBI Grade B exam.
“Why is it easy?”
To answer this question, you need to understand that reading comprehension in Descriptive English is mostly there to test your typing speed in the exam. This comes in your Phase 2 RBI grade B exam as well. The passages that are given in the exam are mostly based on current affairs or banking/economics topics.
How to prepare:
- You need to read the newspaper DAILY!
- When practicing in mock tests, the first step is to skim the question. After that, you can scan the passage for keywords.
- What I would suggest is that you pay attention to the main idea instead of focusing on tricky vocabulary in Reading Comprehension practice.
-
Static Banking Awareness (General Awareness)
I know memorizing General Awareness topics can be tough. However, if time is low, then I would suggest that you just focus on Static Banking Awareness questions.
The reason I am suggesting this is because when it comes to Static Banking Awareness in the RBI Grade B exam then the information given is mostly fact-based. There is no need for further analysis to understand. Some of these questions repeat every year in the RBI Grade B exam.
Some of the important topics under static banking awareness are:
- Organisations’ Headquarters
- Banks’ Headquarters and Taglines
- Power Plants in India
- Countries’ Capitals, and their Currencies
- Important Days
How to prepare for Static Banking Awareness fro RBI Grade B:
- I suggest that you make flashcards that will help you in revision as well as in memorization.
- Along with that, you need to revise weekly by taking 15 mins from your preparation time.
-
Blood Relations (Reasoning)
When it comes to Reasoning, there are many topics that might be considered easy. However, what I have realised is that, of everything, Blood Relations might be the easiest and the lowest-hanging fruit of all.
Why is it easy? Because it’s less time-consuming than puzzles.
How to prepare:
- When it comes to preparation strategy then I suggest that you draw simple diagrams with arrows and marks to help you understand better.
- Also, practicing mock tests and quizzing yourself after you complete the topic will help you significantly.
-
Government Schemes (Economic & Social Issues)
Another topic from Economic & Social Issues, which is considered much easier to grasp, is the Government Schemes.
In this, you need to remember the names of the schemes and the objective behind that scheme.
The reason behind my suggestion is that the information behind these schemes stay relevant and as they are for years. Also, questions related to this can be asked in ESI, along with GA.
Some of the Government Schemes you should know:
- PM Jan Dhan Yojana
- Ayushman Bharat
- MUDRA Yojana
- Digital India
- Atal Pension Yojana
Final Thought
The RBI Grade B journey is for those who know that it is a long run, not a sprint. You need the easy wins for motivation and confidence. Then, you can level up to the next stage of your RBI Grade B preparation. Go one topic at a time.
