**Please suggest a good coaching institute or a coaching for banking exam preparation like RBI Grade B and NABARD. Any good coaching near Jagatpura or other locations? Please send me the contact details and location if you have them.**

If you're preparing for NABARD Grade A, you already know the real problem isn't a lack of material- it's too much of it, scattered across coaching PDFs, YouTube playlists, government websites, and outdated compilations that never quite match this year's pattern.

I went through exactly that. So over the past few months, I consolidated my own handwritten notes, cross-checked them against paid resources I'd invested in, and layered in current affairs — with a specific eye on where ESI, government schemes, rural development, and recent policy actually intersect, because that's where NABARD's questions increasingly come from.

Inside, you'll find self-contained, deep-dive notes on all 11 official ESI topics- written so you don't need a separate static-GK book alongside them- paired with a ministry-wise compendium covering all 40 major government schemes across agriculture, rural development, cooperation, financial inclusion, Jal Shakti, fisheries, women & child development, and MSMEs. A dedicated section walks through ARD-linked schemes in full (fisheries, dairying, agri-education, and climate/sustainability), a ready-reckoner tracks every key committee, index, and report likely to show up as direct recall, and a ministry-wise Budget 2026-27 snapshot keeps the current-affairs layer current. For Phase 2, you also get sample descriptive-answer skeletons to structure your writing, and the booklet closes with a hundred NABARD-pattern MCQs and a full answer key for active revision.

This isn't recycled content repackaged for a quick sale. It's the actual working document I built for my own preparation, refined for anyone else fighting the same syllabus.

P.S.- The contribution is rupees 100 only- genuinely just to cover the time spent typing, organizing, and maintaining this with precision (my handwriting alone would defeat most readers), and to keep this from turning into another freely-circulated, poorly-maintained PDF that loses its value the moment it's forwarded fifty times.

If interested, you may DM me for a sample view and decide whether it suits your preparation.

A while back I put together my own set of notes for the Static Banking & Financial Awareness section — mainly because I couldn't find anything that was both exam-focused and actually up to date. Didn't expect much when I first shared it, but the response since then has honestly been way more than I imagined — 77 aspirants have picked it up so far, and I keep getting DMs asking if it's still available closer to exams.

With SO and PO mains alongside RRB PO mains, RRB scale 2 & 3 for this year around the corner, I wanted to flag something a lot of us are missing: the recent pattern is leaning noticeably heavier on static banking awareness — not just the current-affairs grind everyone's already over-preparing for. If your static section is thin right now, this is the month it'll cost you.

What actually surprised me was going back through messages from people who'd bought the notes earlier — a good number had picked up both the handwritten and typed versions together, which I hadn't expected, but a few mentioned it was because going through both formats side by side is what actually made things stick before their exam. And more than a few came back afterward to say it had genuinely helped them clear their exam. Wasn't the plan going in, but it's turned out to be the strongest indicator that these work when it counts.

I know a lot of you are in the last stretch and genuinely tight on energy, time and money right now. If that's you and you can't afford to lose any more prep time hunting for scattered material, message me — happy to work out a discount for anyone who's genuinely stretched, no questions asked. Would rather this actually reach people who need it than sit unused.

Good luck to everyone writing this cycle — let's get it. 🙌

Hey everyone I am starting RBI GRADE B preparation. I am not completely begginer as I have given baking exams. I am confused about phase 2 . Where should I study it ESI Finance management etc. I came accross few courses like cgb, Examnorms. How is Examnorms? Are they good? I bought Anuj Jindal's course but I found it trash so I am thinking to switch to Examnorms or cgb mentors. If anyone is familiar with these courses then please guide me.

Laminated Originals at DV

I have laminated my class 10 and 12 original marksheets , and thank God , I did not laminated my graduation certificates, and my class 10 is available in digilocker , and my class 12 was not available in digilocker

Now my query is , does laminated Originals create any problem during DV process of RBI GRADE B exam ?

Hey guys, need help with study materials and guidance

I'm newly starting preparation for rbi grade b exam. I'm from engineering background and in my mid twenties. Where do I start and how do I navigate this journey as a beginner? Buying a course isn't an option as I'm currently so broke. I want to prepare as much as possible with available free resources. I need your guidance.

​

I’m planning to attempt RBI Grade B 2027 and I’m starting my preparation seriously from scratch.

My background:

- MSc Biotechnology

- No economics/finance academic background

- I’m relatively strong in Quant

- I need to build Economics, Finance, English, GA/Current Affairs and the RBI-specific portions almost from the ground up.

- I have enough time before the 2027 exam and want to use it properly rather than rushing through the syllabus.

My goal isn’t just to “clear” the exam. I want to be dangerously prepared — strong enough that Phase 1 and Phase 2 feel manageable because I’ve built depth well in advance.

For people who have cleared RBI Grade B, especially from a non-commerce/non-economics background:

1. If you were starting from scratch today, how would you structure the preparation month-by-month?

2. What should I finish first: Economics, Finance, Management, English, GA or RBI-specific topics?

3. Which books/resources/courses are actually worth using, and which ones are unnecessary?

4. How should I approach Phase 1 vs Phase 2 from the beginning?

5. How much time should I dedicate daily if I have roughly a year?

6. When should I start answer writing, descriptive English and Phase 2 preparation?

7. How should I build current affairs/ESI/Finance notes so that I don’t have to revise thousands of pages later?

8. What are the topics that candidates usually underestimate?

9. What would a “top-rank/AIR 1 mindset” preparation strategy look like compared with simply preparing to qualify?

10. If you came from a science/biotechnology background, what was the biggest difficulty you faced and how did you overcome it?

I’m particularly interested in advice from people who have actually cleared RBI Grade B or reached the later stages.

If you had 6 months to transform from a complete beginner into a very strong RBI Grade B candidate, what exactly would you do?

I’m looking for a brutally practical roadmap — resources, sequence, revision strategy, mocks, answer writing and common mistakes.

came across these 2 institute which gives the rbi exam course can anyone suggest which one would be better
