Breaking Down the RBI Exam Phases: What to Expect
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Grade B exam is one of the most prestigious and challenging exams in the country, attracting thousands of aspirants every year. Success in this exam opens the door to a highly respected position as an RBI officer, with opportunities to contribute significantly to India's financial and economic policy. To crack the RBI Grade B exam, it is crucial to understand the structure of its various phases and what each phase entails. This knowledge will help you better prepare and manage your time effectively throughout the preparation journey.
1. Phase I: Preliminary Exam
The first hurdle in the RBI Grade B exam is the Phase I Preliminary Exam. This is an online, objective-type test designed to assess a candidate's basic knowledge and skills in several areas. The exam consists of four sections:
General Awareness: This section tests your knowledge of current events, banking, and financial awareness, along with some static general knowledge. Keeping up with the latest developments in the economy and finance is essential for scoring well here.
English Language: This section evaluates your command of English through questions on reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. Practice is key to mastering this section, as it requires both speed and accuracy.
Quantitative Aptitude: This section measures your mathematical skills and ability to solve problems quickly. Topics include arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data interpretation. Regular practice of these topics will help improve your speed and accuracy.
Reasoning Ability: This section tests your logical and analytical thinking through puzzles, coding-decoding, syllogisms, and other reasoning-based questions. Practicing different types of reasoning problems will enhance your problem-solving speed.
The Phase I exam is qualifying in nature, meaning that only candidates who score above the cutoff mark will proceed to the next phase. It is essential to perform well in all sections, as there is a sectional cutoff in addition to the overall cutoff.
2. Phase II: Main Exam
Candidates who clear the Preliminary Exam move on to the Phase II Main Exam. This phase is critical as the marks obtained here are considered for the final selection. The Main Exam consists of three papers:
Paper I: Economic and Social Issues (ESI): This paper tests your understanding of economic concepts, social issues, and policies related to economic and social development. Topics include growth and development, inflation, poverty alleviation, social sectors, and current economic issues. A thorough understanding of these topics, combined with staying updated on recent developments, is essential.
Paper II: English (Writing Skills): This is a descriptive paper that tests your writing ability. You may be asked to write essays, précis, or business/official correspondence. Strong writing skills and the ability to articulate your thoughts clearly and concisely are key to scoring well in this paper.
Paper III: Finance and Management (F&M): This paper assesses your knowledge of finance, banking, and management principles. Topics include financial markets, the Indian financial system, corporate governance, and the basics of management. It is important to have a deep understanding of these subjects to perform well in this paper.
Each paper carries 100 marks, and the total marks obtained in the Main Exam play a significant role in determining your rank in the final merit list. Consistent preparation, focusing on both conceptual understanding and current affairs, is crucial for success in Phase II.
3. Phase III: Interview
The final phase of the RBI Grade B exam is the Interview, which carries 75 marks. Candidates who clear the Main Exam are called for the Interview, where they are evaluated on their personality, communication skills, and knowledge relevant to the role of an RBI officer. The interview panel typically consists of senior RBI officials who assess your suitability for the job.
To excel in the interview, you need to have a strong understanding of banking and financial concepts, current affairs, and the role of RBI in India's economy. Additionally, confidence, clarity of thought, and the ability to express your views effectively are important.
Conclusion
The RBI Grade B exam is a comprehensive test of your knowledge, skills, and personality. Understanding the structure and requirements of each phase is the first step towards effective preparation. With the right strategy, dedication, and consistent effort, you can navigate these phases successfully and secure a prestigious position with the Reserve Bank of India. Remember, the journey to becoming an RBI officer is challenging, but with the right approach, it is achievable.

Indian Notes Big News: 100, 200, 500 रुपये के नोट को लेकर RBI ने जारी की नई गाइडलाइंस, यहां जानें- पूरी डिटेल्स
Indian Notes Big News: एक बहुत बड़ी गलतफहमी हमारे बीच जगह बनाई हुई है कि अगर नोटबंदी के बाद चालू हुए नए नोटों पर अगर कुछ लिखा गया है तो वह नोट नहीं चलेगा। हालांकि, बैंकनोट पर कुछ भी लिखने से वह अमान्य नहीं हो जाता। वहीं, भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक (RBI) लोगों से अपेक्षा करता है कि वे मुद्रा नोटों पर कुछ भी न लिखें क्योंकि इससे नोट खराब लगेंगे और साथ ही इससे नोटों की लाइफ कम होग��।
हालांकि, यहां बड़ी बात यह है कि अगर आपको 2000 रुपये, 500 रुपये, 200 रुपये, 100 रुपये, 50 रुपये या 20 रुपये के नोट मिलते हैं, जिन पर कुछ लिखा हुआ है, तो आप उन्हें बिना किसी डर के वैध मान सकते हैं।
क्या है पूरा मामला?
सरकार के आधिकारिक फैक्ट चेकर पीआईबी फैक्ट चेक ने सोशल मीडिया पर प्रसारित किए जा रहे एक फर्जी दावे के जवाब में उपरोक्त मुद्दे पर प्रकाश डाला है। फर्जी मैसेज में दावा किया गया कि आरबीआई की नई गाइडलाइंस के मुताबिक नए नोटों पर कुछ भी लिखने से वे अमान्य हो जाते हैं।
और पढ़िए –Income tax free state: इस राज्य में लागू नहीं है इनकम टैक्स कानून, करोड़ों की कमाई भी कर मुक्त; कारण जानिए
फेक मैसेज में क्या दावा किया गया?
सोशल मीडिया पर प्रसारित msg में कहा गया है, ‘भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक के नए दिशानिर्देशों के अनुसार, नए नोटों पर कुछ भी लिखने से नोट अमान्य हो जाता है और यह अब कानूनी निविदा नहीं रहेगा।’
उपरोक्त दावे को फर्जी बताते हुए, पीआईबी फैक्ट चेक ने ट्वीट किया, ‘नहीं, लिखे हुए बैंक नोट अमान्य नहीं हैं और कानूनी मुद्रा बने रहेंगे।’
क्या कहता है आरबीआई?
आरबीआई की स्वच्छ नोट नीति के तहत, उपयोगकर्ताओं से अनुरोध किया जाता है कि वे करेंसी नोट पर कुछ भी न लिखें क्योंकि यह उसके जीवन को कम करता है। पीआईबी ने कहा, ‘क्लीन नोट पॉलिसी के तहत लोगों से आग्रह किया जाता है कि वे करेंसी नोटों पर न लिखें क्योंकि इससे नोट खराब होते हैं और उनकी उम्र कम होती है।’
और पढ़िए –Post Office Scheme: लोगों के लिए खुशखबरी! इस योजना में 50 रुपये का निवेश करें और 35 लाख रुपये का रिटर्न पाएं
रिजर्व बैंक के नए नियमों के मुताबिक अगर आपके पास भी पुराने या कटे-फटे नोट हैं तो आपको बिल्कुल भी परेशान होने की जरूरत नहीं है। अब आप बैंक की किसी भी शाखा में जाकर ऐसे नोटों को बदलवा सकते हैं। अगर कोई बैंक कर्मचारी आपका नोट बदलने से मना करता है तो आप इसकी शिकायत भी कर सकते हैं।

Because I was taller than everyone else on my fifth-grade baseball team, my strike zone was slightly larger than most. That fact alone must have led to a few more pitches going unanswered when I was at bat. It also didn’t help that I was deathly afraid of the ball.
My dad, not the biggest sports enthusiast, took the time in the evenings after work both during and after baseball season to toss small plastic whiffle balls (about a 6th of the size of a regular baseball) at me that I would then swat a sad few feet from where we stood in the front yard. He was always in his dress clothes, and as the sun set behind him, it felt like everyone in our neighborhood was hiding inside during our 10-minute drill.
“Keep your eye on the ball.” he’d say before underhand tossing the practice pitch, having no idea the reason I had watched the last 9 strikes in one game pass the plate in front of me wasn’t an inability to see the ball coming, but the exact opposite: I saw it flying right at me and was frozen by fear.
Recently, I found the baseball cards they’d made for our rec teams. There I am smiling, bat in hand, not an inkling of fear on my face since I was staring down a camera and not a pitcher. The back of the cards featured my weight, height, and various stats, including 0 RBIs. The more impressive numbers reported: I had jumped from 5’1” to 5’11” over three summers.
Being tall at 12, and remaining relatively tall until most kids caught up with me in high school, had its advantages. I played center in basketball and rarely had to jump for a rebound, I was a decent first baseman because I wasn’t afraid of a ball when I had a mitt to catch it in, and adults, simply by virtue of my being the same size as them, mistakenly talked to me as if I were a peer.
“The problem with this fucking place…” the new head of my community theater confided in me as I sat in the box office and handed a parent her change, “is there are too many chefs!” My new boss kept her flat black hair short and wore fat earrings. She was in her mid-50s and had been given the job after the board fired her friend and colleague of 15 years from the same position. Our new leader had spent much of her career teaching children how to sing in harmony, not fundraising and attending advertising meetings, and she was adjusting. I was 11 or 12, hearing an adult woman vent for the first time about what I had assumed was a nice promotion.
“It’s like that pasta fundraiser we did,” she continued, “Everyone brought in a sauce from home, but imagine if we had mixed them all together? You bring your grandma’s famous recipe in and dump it in with a bunch of Ragu, what does it taste like? It all tastes like Ragu, you know?”
I nodded as if I knew. “I get you.” I said, speaking slowly so my voice didn’t crack. I had recently visited New Orleans and had tried to yell something funny at my family while crossing the street, and out came a high-pitched whistle instead. A man in a suit walking past us mirthfully smiled to himself, knowing exactly what had happened. Since then, I remained cognizant of how deep I needed to keep my voice to not slip. Plus I wanted this woman to keep speaking to me like a coworker. “You don’t want to be watered down.”
“Yes. It’s like that. Imagine that for every person who brought in Ragu, someone else brought in a bottle of piss to mix in. That’s what the board meetings are like. Their ideas are like piss mixed into a pasta sauce.”
I giggled and quickly cleared my throat before saying in a deep voice: “Tell me about it.”
The disadvantage of tallness was that from 3rd to 6th grade, it was assumed that I could do everything myself. They started asking for tall guy favors. Tiny teachers asked me to retrieve supplies from high shelves and old ladies I didn’t know stopped me on the street and asked me to help carry their groceries from their cars. No one was worried about a boy who looked 18 at age 11, but that also meant I had to desperately seek out the right friends if I wanted to talk about Pokémon and anime instead of someone asking if I could buy them porn or cigarettes or firecrackers. Still, like many kids, I wanted to be older than I was and I relished my tall kid privilege. I walked to the mall alone, I walked into R-rated movies without anyone on staff stopping me, and I stood outside the back entrance of my community theater where the director and crew members smoked cigarettes and talked to them about their love lives. Never in my life did older people cover their mouths after they swore or steer conversations away from sex at the sight of me.
This early independence may have been what my parents wanted.
“We treated you like little adults even though we knew we weren’t supposed to.” My mom revealed to me on a recent trip to see my family in North Carolina. In the open-concept house down the street from where my brother settled after college, we reminisced about Cleveland from afar, my brother chiming in periodically to say how our old neighborhood had changed for the better, what buildings had been demolished and rebuilt because they were a lost cause. Schools had been turned into suburban developments, dilapidated gyms became giant complexes for rec soccer leagues, and a bunch of fuck-up alcoholics we’d known in school had become successful lawyers (who still drank too much).
“We let you decide where we ate and what sports you played,” my Mom continued, “you weren’t supposed to let kids decide all that, even in the 90s.”
My dad, half-awake in a recliner, said that when he told a friend how he used to leave his 11-year-old alone to make sure his 8-year-old son got the school bus on time every morning, and the friend said that practice was tantamount to child abuse. Whatever trauma I experienced from having time alone with my brother (?) fails to compare to how I feel about adults who spoke to me from age 10-15.
By the time I was a teenager, I’d fully accepted my early adulthood. When I wasn’t playing a sport or acting in a play, my number one hobby was taking a John Updike book (sorry) to a coffee shop. I frequented a place within walking distance of my house in Cleveland called Talkies. I sat at the front bar with my book and ate a second lunch at 3 PM. I talked to random people sipping coffee and smoking cigarettes inside. One was a researcher at Case Western who studied molecular biology. He seemed to know no one in Cleveland except me and the baristas. Another guy was a white dude with dreadlocks, a gifted actor who bussed tables at the fancy restaurant next door. Every barista was a 20-something woman who told me about their various trysts in graphic detail. Multiple times the men offered me cigarettes or to split a joint outside. No wonder it took me years to finish one of the Rabbit novels. I was soaking up more than enough adult content in my real life than any book could offer.
The oddest encounter occurred at a hotel in Annapolis, Maryland when I was 15...

Cubs move on from Seiya Suzuki’s interpreter and look ahead to second half of season
[original article]
The Chicago Cubs are making a subtle but potentially significant change coming out of the All-Star break, dismissing the interpreter who has worked with Japanese outfielder Seiya Suzuki through his first two-and-a-half seasons in the majors.
Toy Matsushita will no longer serve as Suzuki’s voice in interviews with American media, a team source said Thursday, framing it as an organizational decision to go in a different direction. Those responsibilities, which also included relaying messages from the front office and the coaching staff to Suzuki, will be absorbed by two Cubs staffers.
Nao Masamoto, a longtime Cubs employee who manages their Pacific Rim operations and major-league video system, will continue to support Suzuki. Shota Imanaga’s interpreter, Edwin Stanberry, will also assist in communications with Suzuki.
The Cubs will open the 2025 season at the Tokyo Dome with two games against the Los Angeles Dodgers (March 18-19), Major League Baseball announced Thursday, matching up two iconic teams on an international stage.
The biggest story of this year’s Seoul Series was the gambling scandal that engulfed Ippei Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter. The Cubs, the team source stressed, are not dealing with a similar situation here.
The Cubs want to continue to be known as a destination for Japanese players and seen as a place where they can reach their full potential. Masamoto is so trusted that he remained good friends with Yu Darvish even after the Cubs traded the Japanese pitcher to the San Diego Padres following the 2020 season. Stanberry has done an exemplary job of accentuating Imanaga’s personality during interviews and helping him assimilate into the team’s culture.
Intentional is the oft-repeated description of how Imanaga built relationships with coaches and teammates. That was publicly displayed during the welcome-to-Chicago news conference where he recited the lyrics to “Go Cubs Go.” Behind the scenes, it also involved keeping some distance from his interpreter and strengthening his sense of independence.
A rookie only by major-league standards, Imanaga, 30, pitched a scoreless inning in the All-Star Game. He’s 8-2 with a 2.97 ERA through 17 starts, making his four-year, $53 million contract look like one of the most prescient signings from last winter. He’s also on the cover of Chicago Magazine’s recently released “Best of” issue.
Imanaga has also benefitted from the team’s learning curve with Suzuki, who signed a five-year, $85 million contract after MLB’s lockout ended in 2022. Suzuki is a supremely talented hitter and tireless worker who has dealt with some injuries and a weird issue with catching routine fly balls in right field.
When Suzuki is locked in, though, he can elevate an offense that has several weak spots. His mixture of power, patience, mental approach and contact skills are close to an ideal version of what the Cubs value in their hitters. Streamlining the communication could be a way for the team to make sure he’s confident and decisive.
Suzuki, who will turn 30 next month, is a good major-league hitter (.811 career OPS) who should be in the prime of his career. His first-half production (13 homers, 45 RBIs) was boosted by a hot streak in July (.321 batting average, .942 OPS) that lined up with one of the team’s best stretches all season. The Cubs (47-51) need that kind of performance to shut down any discussions about a sell-off at the July 30 trade deadline.

24 July, BOS @ COL, 7-20, loss
I feel I need to upgrade my "fuck that game" and "fuck that series" to "fuck that road trip". What a shambolic shitshow of a game yesterday. I'm glad there's a day off today just so that I can recover from watching the Sox get pulverised by a lesser team. And make so many fucking errors it was like nails on a chalkboard or April 2024. And, like the series before, they should've taken it 2-1, with yesterday being the only, if somewhat stinging, loss. Nick Pivetta, like Kenley Jansen, should just not be allowed to pitch in Denver. Unlike Kenley Jansen, it wouldn't be for Pivetta's heart condition but for the collective heart condition of Red Sox fandom. Pivetta was massacred, unable to get through three innings (he threw a billion pitches in just the first inning - at least that's what it felt like) and it did not get better from there. I was hoping as I was watching that the benches clearing incident would fire the Sox up to come back and lock the game down. That is not what happened. Instead it seemed to serve the Rockies in just piling that shit on. From what I saw that near-brawl (not even a punch thrown...) was due Quantrill being a dick and shooting his mouth off at McGuire. Fuck Quantrill and fuck the Rockies. Don't believe me? Just ask Fremen Captain Jarren Duran who had to be restrained the most - he wears a t-shirt under his jersey that says "fuck 'em" and I'm pretty sure yesterday the "'em" in question was the fucking Rockies. Ugh. Shit happens and if it weren't for the shittier extra inning blown saves nearly had it games since the end of the break I would be fine with that. But we did have those shittier blah blah blahs and meh. Am I bummed? Fuck yes, I am bummed. But I'm not despairing. You know why? Because we have a very special bright side for you all today. Perhaps one of the brightest of all bright sides.
ALEX CORA AND THE SOX AGREED ON A CONTRACT EXTENSION!!!! An extra three years and a whole truckload of money (or half a week of Shohei Ohtani's salary) and we get to keep our manager. I really like and believe in Cora. I think he's great with young players and he's brought together a group that nobody believed in and believed in them. But also I think he's a good dude. And he's a runner. I'm a runner. I am not bilingual and cannot run a major league baseball team, but we do have at least one thing in common. Anyway. I'm delighted the Sox signed this extension because I think Cora is one of the best managers in the league and it would be dumb not to keep him. It also, hopefully, indicates that the front office might be willing to make some other investments... maybe even before the trading deadline.
Raffy Devers hit a bunch, going 3-for-3 in the DH spot to preserve his slightly shaken shoulder. He scored a run too.
Jarren Duran, as well as looking as though he could drive a sandworm through the entirety of the Rockies dugout, hit a dinger AND ANOTHER TRIPLE. He has twelve triples. That's a lot of triples. There are teams without 12 triples between them. He went 3-for-5 with 3 RBIs and scored twice. He also made one of the four Sox errors but triples erase errors. It's the rules.
Ceddane Rafaela got a couple of hits and scored a run.
Dom Smith made an error at first but also was one of only two Sox pitchers not to give up a run. As he is not a pitcher, that gives you a pretty good sense of how the day went.
That shitty road trip is over, we have a day off, we're going to keep kicking the shit out of the Yankees, and we don't have to worry about Cora leaving until 2027.
