Preparation Strategies for the RBI Assistant Exam in 2020

As you probably must be aware, the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) has recently declared the notification for Assistant positions for the year 2019-2020. A total of 926 vacancies have been released, with the preliminary phase of the examination scheduled for February 14th and 15th, 2020. Given the reputation and the prestige associated with the RBI, it is highly probable that a large number of aspirants will appear for this exam. Therefore, it is crucial to put in consistent effort in the right direction.

Key Strategies for Success

The RBI Assistant Exam is designed to test the aspirants' knowledge and skills in multiple areas. Here are some key strategies to help you prepare effectively:

Improving Your English Section

Grammar

It is essential to regularly review and practice grammar rules. Applying these rules consistently will help in retaining them and make your answers more logical. This approach reduces the likelihood of making guesswork, which is often unreliable in competitive exams.

Reading Comprehension

Each paragraph in reading comprehension has a unique tone and structure. Understanding the premise and tone of the paragraph is crucial. Questions at the end are often based on direct or indirect implications from the passage. Therefore, thorough reading is imperative to figure out such implications. Online resources, such as practice tests, can significantly aid in improving this skill.

Practice and Accuracy

One of the keys to success in the RBI Assistant Exam is to solve the entire paper accurately within the allotted time. Solving mock tests is the best strategy to achieve this. There are numerous free mock tests available online. Choose those that are similar to the previous years' papers for maximum effectiveness.

I recently purchased the Edutap course, which has been highly recommended by many aspirants. It offers a comprehensive guide and tips for preparation, making it an excellent choice for those preparing for the exam. Solving more and more mock tests is one of the best strategies to clear the exam.

General Exam Preparation

Preparing for banking exams, especially RBI Assistant, follows a similar pattern as other bank exams. However, it is considered slightly easier compared to some other exams. Nonetheless, the cut-off for the RBI Assistant Exam is quite high, which means accuracy is paramount. Consistent practice, especially through mock tests, will significantly improve your chances of success.

As the examination is scheduled for February 2020, it is crucial to start your preparation now. Regular practice, thorough review of grammar, and meticulous reading comprehension will go a long way in enhancing your performance. Make sure to stay updated with the latest exam patterns and practice as many previous year’s papers as possible.
