Major Aspects of RBI Recruitment 2020

By Sara J. Wheeler 4 years ago

The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank for our country and is responsible for regulating the functioning of all other Private and Public sector banks.

Each year lakhs of aspirants look forward to applying for various posts for which vacancies are released by RBI, but only a handful manage to qualify the exam. This is because of the tough competition to get employment in the banking industry.

There are two major posts for which RBI conducts the examination. The two are:

  • Grade B Officer
  • Assistant

Further below, we have discussed the process for India’s central bank recruitment for these two posts and the important aspects which a bank aspirant must be aware of, before applying for the exam.

The recruitment starts off with the release of official notification, followed by the application process, admit card release, online examination, result declaration and finally the provisional allotment of candidates.

Once the online registration is done, the call letters for computer-based tests are released which also indicates that the candidate’s application has been accepted and he/she is applicable to appear for the exam.

RBI Exam & Important Points To Remember

Given below are the important aspects of the Reserve Bank of India recruitment process. Aspirants must be aware of the same to ensure that they do not skip any vital part of the examination process.

  • Syllabus and Exam Pattern – Since the Officer and Assistant posts are at different levels, the syllabus and exam pattern for the two are also different. Thus, it is very important for an aspirant to go through the detailed composition of subjects, topics and marks before they start their preparation
  • Official Notification – As mentioned earlier, the release of notification is the first step of the recruitment drive. It mentions the important exam dates, vacancies, salary, probation period, etc. which is a must for an applicant to be aware of. Also, the step by step description of online registration is mentioned in the official announcement
  • Online Application Process – A specified eligibility criterion is released for each post. Based on the same, a candidate can apply for the post. This application process must be completed very carefully by an applicant as in case of any discrepancy, the candidate’s candidature can be cancelled. All the personal details, academic qualification and other information asked in the form must be filled correctly and once the application fee is paid, the registration is complete
  • Computer-Based Online Examination Conduct – Based on a candidate’s performance in the online examination, the shortlisting for the next stage is done. Thus, this is the most important part which a candidate needs to focus on. Scoring well in the computer-based tests must be the focus of every applicant to crack the exam. Generally, the RBI exam comprises two online tests: Prelims and Mains
  • Result Declaration and Provisional Allotment – Separate result is released after every stage of the examination and shortlisting is done. The final appointment depends upon the combined effort put in by a candidate in Prelims, Mains and Interview (if applicable)
  • Cut Off – Factors like the number of vacancies, number of applicants and the difficulty level of the exam are kept in consideration while deciding the minimum qualifying marks or the cut off marks after each phase of the examination. One must always check previous year cut off marks as this helps them apprehend approximate qualifying marks for the upcoming recruitment

All the above-mentioned factors play an important role in the Reserve Bank of India recruitment and selection process. For those, who wish to know more about the RBI Result status and the steps to checking it, can visit the linked article for relevant details.
