(I) Phase-I Online Examination (Objective Type)

This will comprise a single Paper for 200 marks and will be held on September 08, 2024. Depending on the
number of candidates, the examination may be held in multiple shifts and on some other days also. A
candidate, however, must appear for examination in only one shift on the given day. The date, time and venue
on which a candidate has to appear for examination will be specified in the Admit Card to be downloaded by
the candidate from website (www.rbi.org.in -
in different sessions (if held) will be normalized using equipercentile method. (If the examination is held in more

adjust for slight differences in difficulty level of different test batteries used across sessions.)

a) The Paper will consist tests of :

i. General Awareness
ii. English Language
iii. Quantitative Aptitude and
iv. Reasoning

A total time of 120 minutes will be given for answering. However, separate time will be allotted for each test.
Other detailed information regarding the examination will be given in an Information Handout, which will be
made available to the candidates for download along with the Admit Card for examination from the RBI website.

Candidates have to secure minimum marks separately for each test as well as in aggregate, as may be
prescribed by the Board.

Candidates, who secure minimum marks separately for each Test, as prescribed, will be shortlisted for Phase-
II of the examination based on the aggregate marks obtained in Phase-I. The minimum aggregate cut-off
marks for being shortlisted for Phase-II of the examination will be decided by the Board in relation to the
number of vacancies. Roll Number of the candidates shortlisted for Phase-II examination will be published on
the RBI website, tentatively within a week after Phase-I examination.

(ii) Phase-II Online Examination

The Phase-II Online Examination will be conducted on October 19, 2024 only for the candidates who are
shortlisted on the basis of results of Phase-I and based on the cut-off decided by the Board. The Phase-II
examination will be in shifts. Candidates are required to appear for all the shifts. Separate Admit Cards will be
issued for each shift. The timetable for Phase-II will be intimated to the candidates concerned along with Admit
Card for Phase-II. Phase II online examination will consist of three papers as under:

questions carrying 2 marks each and some carrying 1 mark each). In case of Descriptive questions, 6
questions will be asked, of which candidates will be required to attempt 4 questions [2 of 15 marks
each (with varying difficulty level) and 2 of 10 marks each]. In case, candidate answers more than 4
questions in descriptive, first 4 shall be evaluated.

NOTE:All question papers (in both the Phases, except the test of English) will be set bilingually in Hindi and
English.

The Board reserves the right to modify the examination dates and time entirely at its discretion.

Candidates will be shortlisted for the Interview, based on aggregate of marks obtained in Phase-II (Paper-I
+Paper-II +Paper-III). The minimum aggregate cut-off marks for being shortlisted for Interview will be decided
by the Board in relation to the number of vacancies. Roll Numbers of the candidates shortlisted for the Interview
will be published on RBI website at appropriate time and Interview Call Letters will be sent on registered E-
mail ID. Interview will be of 75 marks.

Candidate shall be required to undergo Personality Assessment conducted by the Bank before appearing for
the Interview. No marks will be allotted for the same and it will not form part of the final selection criteria.
Candidate may opt for Interview either in Hindi or English. Final selection will be through merit list which will
