Is JAIIB Tough to Crack? – Know JAIIB Exam Difficulty | Oliveboard

Is JAIIB Tough to Crack?: IIBF will hold the JAIIB November cycle on the 12th, 13th, and 20th of November, 2022. Candidates have a little more than a month to go. As the exam draws closer, candidates may wonder- Is JAIIB tough to crack? JAIIB like all exams does have a certain difficulty level. But how difficult is the JAIIB exam?

Is JAIIB Tough to Crack? : The JAIIB Exam

JAIIB consists of 3 papers. These are Principles and Practices in Banking, Accounting and Finance for Bankers, and Legal and Regulatory Aspects of Banking. Each paper is of 100 marks with 120 questions. Each of these papers has topics that are familiar to any bank exam-qualified candidate. As mentioned in our Topper Tips blog, this is also we’d recommend candidates attempt JAIIB during probation.

Here, we’ll first take a look at the syllabus:

Module	Paper I- Principles & Practices of Banking	Paper II- Accounting & Financial Management for Bankers	Paper III- Legal and Regulatory Aspects of Banking
A	Indian Financial System	Business Mathematics and Finance	Regulations and Compliance
B	Functions of Banks	Principles of Bookkeeping and Accounting	Legal Aspects of Banking Operations
C	Banking Technology	Final Accounts	Banking Related Laws
D	Support Services, Marketing of Banking	Banking Operations	Commercials Laws with Reference to Banking Operations
E	Ethics in Banks and Financial Institutions

Principles and Practices of Banking

This is a subject that all candidates who have a thorough knowledge of banking awareness will find easy. Since banking awareness is a section in the qualifying tests for most bank exams, most candidates will be able to learn this section easily.

The most important topics for this paper are in the first two modules- Indian Financial System and Functions of Banks. The other 3 modules are more general in content and can be covered easily. So Paper-I is quite easy to clear if you revise all the known topics of banking awareness.

Accounting and Finance for Bankers

This is a paper that candidates without a background in accountancy might struggle with. Accounts topics like balance sheets, bookkeeping, etc, are topics Commerce or BCom students are well-versed with. It may take non-commerce students some time to get a hang of the numerical concepts. However, it is nothing dedicated practice and hard work cannot overcome. So in Paper II, you can easily score above 60 with enough practice.

Legal and Regulatory Aspects of Banking

Paper III has a lot of topics and concepts that overlap with Paper-I, so learning or revising this alongside PPB will make things a lot easier. You can refer to our Topper Tips blog for a much better idea of how PPB and LRAB study can be made easy.

This paper mainly deals with the legal side of banking, meaning most essential Acts and Sections. This involves a lot of rote learning so revision is a must. Then again, if your preparation for banking awareness has been good, this should also not be very difficult.
