Frequently Asked Questions

Q.How is RBI Assistant preparation different from SBI Clerk preparation?

The core aptitude preparation (Reasoning, QA, English) is very similar. The key differentiation is in General Awareness – RBI Assistant requires deep RBI-specific knowledge (monetary policy tools, RBI departments, central banking) which SBI Clerk does not test at the same depth.

Q.How many mock tests are sufficient for RBI Assistant?

Take at least 20–25 Prelims mocks and 8–10 Mains mocks. Given the irregular frequency of the exam, prioritise mock quality and analysis over quantity. Use SBI Clerk and IBPS Clerk mock tests as supplementary practice given the similar structure.
