5. Start reading Newspaper articles on a daily basis. Aspirants can either read two separate newspapers (A regular newspaper and one based on Economy & Finance). Some of the most popular newspapers followed by RBI Grade B aspirants are Hindu, The Indian Express, Economic Times, Financial Times, Live Mint, Business Standard, etc.
6. Go through the Past Year Papers and understand the types of questions asked. Also, understand the trend of the past year’s cut-off marks for Phase-1 & Phase-2.
