RBI Grade B Interview Questions – Tips to Prepare for It
Personal Interviews are held to check three main aspects of a candidate, namely their confidence, knowledge and personality. So, you need to hone all three of these characteristics. Here are some other things that you need to know to ace the personal interview round.
#1 Knowledge about RBI
It reflects poorly on you if you go to an interview without knowing the details about the company. Visit RBI’s website and read about the history, corporate structure and other updates related to the Reserve Bank of India. Make sure you take extensive notes.
#2 Knowledge of finance and economics
Being an RBI Grade B Officer requires you to have an in-depth knowledge of the current trends in finance and any economic change that India and the world may have experienced in recent times. Newspapers are the best sources for information of such kind. Follow at least 2-3 newspapers and focus on the business and finance sections.
#3 Your current job and biodata
The interviewers will ask you about your current job (if you have one) and why you want to leave that job for a position at the RBI. Be honest with your answer and do not try to fool them, as they can spot a lie easily. Lastly, ensure that you are well aware of all the aspects presented in your biodata. Questions regarding the same are bound to come up during the interview and you need to answer these questions honestly.
If a candidate manages to clear both the Phase I and Phase II examinations, they need to clear just one more obstacle before they can become an RBI Grade B Officer. The personal interview is the last round and is one of the most difficult aspects of the selection. This is due to the total lack of a syllabus.
