The good news is that FM (Finance and Management) is not as unpredictable and tough as ESI and English in the RBI Grade B exam. With a proper strategy and syllabus knowledge, you can easily make it the most scoring one as seen in past year marks\u2019 trends of qualified candidates. This paper constitutes 100 out of 300 marks in the RBI Grade B paper 2. A good preparation strategy will help you achieve almost 70 to 75 marks. In this post, we&#8217;ll break down this approach for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_FM_in_RBI_Grade_B\"><\/span>What Is FM in RBI Grade B?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>FM, or Finance and Management is an objective and descriptive type paper in phase 2 of the RBI Grade B exam. It tests your knowledge of financial systems, management concepts, and financial markets through both MCQs and long, descriptive writing. There are 30 objective questions and six descriptive questions in this paper worth 100 marks. You get 120 minutes to solve the FM paper, with 30 minutes for the MCQs and 90 minutes for descriptive questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Target_Score_for_RBI_Grade_B_Finance_Management\"><\/span>Target Score for RBI Grade B Finance &amp; Management <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we will discuss what should be the ideal RBI Grade B FM Target Score. We will also know how much marks should be target in objective, descriptive &amp; total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Subject<\/td><td>Objective<\/td><td>Descriptive<\/td><td>Total<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Finance<\/td><td>15+ Marks<\/td><td>15+ Marks<\/td><td>30-35 Marks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Management<\/td><td>20+ Marks<\/td><td>20+ Marks<\/td><td>40-45 Marks<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FM_Syllabus_for_RBI_Grade_B\"><\/span>FM Syllabus for RBI Grade B<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section, we have provided the complete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/rbi-grade-b-syllabus-exam-pattern\/?ref=contss-rbi-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RBI Grade B Syllabus<\/a> for FM. Check out the table below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>FM Syllabus for RBI Grade B <\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Financial System&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br>Structure and Functions of Financial Institutions, Functions of the Reserve Bank of India, Banking System in India \u2013 Structure and Developments, Financial Institutions \u2013 SIDBI, EXIM Bank, NABARD, NHB, NaBFID, etc, Recent Developments in Global Financial System and its Impact on Indian Financial System, Role of Information Technology in Banking and Finance Non-Banking System, Developments in Digital Payments<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Financial Markets<\/strong> <br><br>Primary and Secondary Markets (Forex, Money, Bond, Equity, etc.), functions, instruments, and recent developments.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>General Topics<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><br>Financial Risk Mgt, Basics of Derivatives, Global financial markets &amp; International Banking \u2013 broad trends &amp; latest developments, Financial Inclusion, Alternate source of finance, private &amp; social cost-benefit, Public Private Partnership, Corporate Governance in Banking Sector, The Union Budget \u2013 Concepts, approach, &amp; broad trends, Basics of Accounting &amp; Financial Statements &#8211; Balance Sheet, Profit, &amp; Loss, Cash Flow Statements, Ratio Analysis (such as Debt to Equity, Debtor Days, Creditor Days, Inventory Turnover, Return on Assets, Return on Equity, etc.), Inflation: Definition, trends, estimates, consequences, &amp; remedies (control): WPI- CPI &#8211; components &amp; trends; striking a balance between inflation and growth through monetary &amp; fiscal policies.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Management<\/strong><br><br>Fundamentals of Management &amp; Organizational Behavior &amp; Ethics at the Workplace and Corporate Governance in detail.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RBI_Grade_B_FM_Preparation_%E2%80%93_Complete_Strategy\"><\/span>RBI Grade B FM Preparation &#8211; Complete Strategy <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to cover the syllabus of FM, you need to be smart and have to do a selective reading of important topics. Most importantly read up on only those topics that are most likely to appear in the examination.\u00a0Here is the complete strategy of Finance and Management for RBI Grade B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I. Analyze &amp; Solve PYPs &amp; Sample Papers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While the previous year\u2019s question papers will give you an idea about the difficulty level of the questions and exam pattern, the RBI sample paper might provide you hints on what topics might appear in the exam. You can download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/rbi-grade-b-previous-year-question-papers\/?ref=contss-rbi-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RBI Grade B PYQ PDF<\/a> and easily find out whether your preparation is going in the right direction or not.<br>For example, in 2021, the questions in the FM paper were a blend of finance and current affairs. In 2024, the questions were more on yojanas. Similarly, in 2021, 2022, and 2023, numerical were not a part of the exam as opposed to the years before them.<br>So, identifying this pattern helps you determine the focus areas of study. This is why you must not forget to attempt the previous year question papers and view their analysis after each topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">II. Determine the Important Topics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After analyzing the previous year question papers, you can find out the relevant topics to study for FM. As per the past years&#8217; analysis of F&amp;M papers, we have concluded that these are the most important chapters from the Finance &amp; Management syllabus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Most Important Chapters for Finance<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Financial Regulatory Bodies<\/li><li>Banking System in India<\/li><li>Reforms in the Banking &amp; Finance Sector<\/li><li>Impact of the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-08<\/li><li>Primary &amp; Secondary Markets<\/li><li>Risk Management in the Banking Sector<\/li><li>Basics of Derivatives<\/li><li>Alternate sources of Finance<\/li><li>Inflation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note: <\/strong>While reading the news\/current affairs, make sure you keep these chapters in mind so that you can map the news to the syllabus. This will help you answer the finance objective questions as well as descriptive ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Most Important Chapters for Management<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>General Management<\/li><li>Leadership<\/li><li>Communication<\/li><li>Corporate Governance<\/li><li>Organizational Behavior<\/li><li>Organizational Change<\/li><li>Emotional Intelligence<\/li><li>Interpersonal Relationship<\/li><li>Nudge Theory<\/li><li>Ethics at Workplace<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">III. Focus More on Conceptual Understanding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many topics in the Management part of the FM syllabus are generic. These include topics like communication, leadership, intelligence, conflict, corporate governance, ethics, and the like. They are majorly theoretical but you may find it difficult to differentiate between theories. As a result, your ability to understand and solve questions related to them will decrease.<br>The solution to this issue is to give greater emphasis to conceptual understanding. Do not simply cram the theories and principles. Instead, try to determine their real world application so you can solve questions with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/rbi-grade-b-notes\/?ref=contss-rbi-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check RBI Grade B Notes<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IV. Prepare Static Parts in FM to Score Higher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most questions in the FM section come from static come from static portion and GK. So, your preparation strategy should revolve more around studying static FM than current. Here&#8217;s a list of important static topics for FM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Important Financial institutions<\/li><li>Functions of RBI<\/li><li>Primary and secondary markets &#8211; Equity, Debt, and Bonds<\/li><li>Fiscal policy<\/li><li>Derivatives<\/li><li>International bodies like the UN and UNICEF<\/li><li>Risk management<\/li><li>Cash flow<\/li><li>Balance sheet and statement of income<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">V. Using the Right Preparation Material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no point in sitting and trying to figure out what topics might appear in the exam and what might not, because, the syllabus of RBI Grade B Finance &amp; Management is vast and RBI is known to be unpredictable and might include topics, that aren\u2019t directly mentioned in the syllabus, in the exam. Therefore, it makes sense to use preparation material created by experts and exam toppers after thorough research and analysis for your preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Download <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/rbi-phase-2-trend-analysis-preparation-roadmap\/?ref=contss-rbi-ne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RBI Grade B Phase 2 Trend Analysis &amp; Preparation Roadmap<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VI. Taking Mock Tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/rbi-grade-b-mock-test\/?ref=contss-rbi-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RBI Grade B Mock tests<\/a> for FM  created by industry experts &amp; exam toppers after extensive research and analysis.

Pick the Right Books and Sources <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Refer to a few but reliable sources that contain the core of the topics you need to prepare for. This way, you read less, but you read the most important stuff. Here are the books that should be a part of your RBI Grade B FM preparation strategy for 2025:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Indian Economy by Puri and Misra<\/li><li>Principles and Practice of Management by L.M Prasad<\/li><li>Organizational Behaviour by L.M Prasad<\/li><li>Business Ethics &amp; Corporate Governance by BN Ghosh<\/li><li>NCERT \u2013 Business Studies \u2013 Part II<\/li><li>Read RBI bulletins<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>TIP: For current affairs, instead of reading newspapers, read a roundup of current affairs from current affairs capsules. Also, refer to the FAQ section of Financial Institutions like NABARD, SIDBI, etc. for static information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VIII. Finance and Management Approach for Descriptive Paper<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the approach for Finance and Management Descriptive Paper:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Start with the Management section. The desc. ques. from this section would be static in nature. Be thorough with the concepts.<br><strong>Step 2:<\/strong>&nbsp;While reading each chapter, note down&nbsp;key words&nbsp;for each chapter (as part of various theories\/concepts).<br><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> For the Finance section, make a list of current affairs-related topics (in news lately) and static topics and write down keywords for each one.<br><strong>Step 4:<\/strong>&nbsp;While writing the answers, make sure you are&nbsp;building your answers&nbsp;around these keywords.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><strong>Step 5:&nbsp;<\/strong>Practice at least&nbsp;12-15 answers&nbsp;before you go for the examination<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/esi-fm-descriptive-papers-of-rbi-grade-b\/?ref=contss-rbi-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Approach to RBI Grade B FM Descriptive Paper<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RBI_Grade_B_FM_Preparation_%E2%80%93_Some_General_Tips\"><\/span>RBI Grade B FM Preparation &#8211; Some General Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We recommend you start your exam by attempting all the moderate and easy level questions with great accuracy first, without wasting too much time on tough questions, and then move on to the tougher questions. If you attempt all moderate and easy level questions with great accuracy, and a few tough questions, you have a good chance of clearing phase 2.<\/li><li>Management is a scoring section and easier compared to the Finance part since it is static and doesn\u2019t involve current affairs or numbers. Try to capitalize on this and score maximum marks in the Management section.<\/li><li>A lot of questions in the exam will be direct, i.e., \u2018Factual\u2019 in nature. Therefore you must memorize facts, figures, percentages and numbers for Finance (Repo rate, policy dates, interest, SLR, CRR, etc.) and names of people (thinkers, inventors, etc.), years, etc. for the Management part.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RBI_Grade_B_Finance_Management_Preparation_%E2%80%93_FAQs\"><\/span>RBI Grade B Finance &amp; Management Preparation &#8211; FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1739169181547\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q1.
