RBI Grade B Analysis On The Rbi Phase Ii 2017 Paper (phase 2)

Asking strategy can be wrong right now..but i think if you guys can share the kind of questions asked in phase 2, then it would be really helpful because its fresh for now.
This is for both selected and not selected candidates.
Thanks

My analysis on the RBI Phase II 2017 paper:

1. ESI-
Government schemes, Economic Survey, Budget, Current affairs covered as much as 80% of the paper. This years' paper had more emphasis on Government schemes and Current affairs relating to banking awareness. Along with these, basic concepts of each topic mentioned in syllabus would cover the remaining 20%. Also note that regular reading of a business and political newspaper would benefit in a big way(4 months prior to exam is a must)

2. English-
Standard paper. Hot topics such as NPA, Digitisation etc were amongst the options for Essay. Precis writing was doable as well keeping in mind the hygiene factors of writing a Precis. Easiest was Comprehension decoding as it required basic understanding of the passage and reframing the content to produce answers. There were a total of 5 questions asked from Comprehension. Marks breakup are: Essay-40, Precis-30, Comprehension-30

3. FM-
This section was interesting. Numericals did not play a huge role this year but cannot be ignored at all in the subsequent year. Questions came from current affairs based on financial news, topics mentioned in syllabus. Management dominated the section this year. All topics. mentioned in syllabus for management are vital. Questions were asked in depth and options were made tricky as well. This could be countered only through thorough understanding of the concepts.

Lastly, revision plays a huge role to nail this exam along with mock practice to gain confidence. I will most likely not make it this year, but exactly know where i lacked. Consistent preparation for three to four months are sufficient to nail this exam. However, i would suggest all to start at least 7-8 months prior so that we hold the edge and there are no last minute anxiety issues. Start immediately if you want this job as bad as you want to breathe. Phase I also cannot be taken lightly.

Many of us would already know the above stated things, but i hope first timers would benefit from my analysis.

All the best for '18.

is calculator permitted or not? under point 14 it says it isn't ,but it says it is ..below,in red

 

Yes ... abhilash ji ...to give basic clarity ... i have to move out a lot. This just gives a primary understanding only. Further reading the concept with current happenings will give a true picture.

 

Is thr any restrictions on the type of calculator that can be used... Because somewhr it was mentioned that Oly non- programmable calculators were allowed. @Viju Aspirant sir... Plz throw some light on this also...

 

Thank You! The post says entire book is to be read, there are some sections which need to be skipped.

 

which book of PRASANNA CHANDRA to follow - , SIR ? www.amazon.in/Financial-Management-Pra…/…/ref=sr_1_1… - OR www.amazon.in/Fundamentals-Financial-M…/…/ref=sr_1_3…

 

Is it possible for RBI to normalize scores if the cut off is too low ?

 

@Saurav Tyagi Skipping will not be a good strategy because some basic questions are also asked from various sections. But if you are not comfortable in Finance you can skip difficult portion of derivatives and financial markets. For more queries, comment on the same link above.

 

Dont even open it now rather do numericals from other sources and follow static finance part from bharti pathak

 

Yes., They will definitely normalize to a higher score in case of super low cut off and relative toughness. Last time, in QA, I attempted 12 found 4 wrong , still my marks were 10. But, they won't do for all sections.
