Since RBI Assistant is conducted irregularly, PYQ sets are available from the 2020 and 2023 cycles. These are especially valuable as they directly reflect RBI's GA question style and computer knowledge depth.

Key Observations from PYQs
- GA: RBI-specific questions (monetary policy tools, RBI circulars, payment systems) account for 35–45% of Mains GA section
- Computer: Questions are highly repetitive across 2020 and 2023 – PYQ coverage is nearly complete preparation for this section
- Reasoning: Floor/Box puzzles and blood-relation coded puzzles have increased in share since 2020
- DI in Mains: Caselet DI appeared prominently in 2023 – consistent with banking exam trends
