RBI Grade B Books

R.S. Agrawal and Quantum Math’s by Sarvesh Verma

Reasoning:

This section is of 60 marks and by good practice, you can score well. Here I tried to cover important topics (on which there was more probability of asking questions) through net and mocks.

Book: R.S. Agrawal

English

English is one section where you can’t prepare in a month. Here if your schooling is from Eng Medium School, it gives you a natural advantage. But if your schooling is from a Regional language medium, you need extra efforts.

GA

This is scoring section and here clearing sectional cut off is not enough, you need a good score to clear overall cutoff as well.

Sources:

  1. Learning Space Videos from YouTube
  2. Bankers Adda capsule
  3. Budget document(cover to cover) and economic survey
  4. Mrunal Videos for both basic and current of economics

English:

This is crucial as marks vary from 60 to 86. To ensure final selection you need to score well here. English paper consists of 3 parts: Essay, Precise Writing, and Comprehension.

For the Essay part, you need to read articles in newspaper and writing practice

ESI

In ESI most of the question was asked directly like GA in the prelim. So at least 6 month GK that you read for pre must be revised for mains too.
