Preparation Strategy — Tips for Applicants

• Professional Knowledge dominates: 50 questions/100 marks out of total — 70%+ prep time should go to your domain subject (IT, CA, Law, Risk, HR, etc.)
• For IT/Cyber roles: Brush up on the exact certifications listed for your scale/post (CEH, CISSP, AWS/Azure/GCP, RHCE, CKA/CKS) — many posts have mandatory certification requirements, not just preferred
• For CA/Finance roles: Focus on banking-specific accounting — Ind AS, GST/TDS, Balance Sheet finalisation, Credit appraisal norms
• For Risk roles: FRM/PRM/CFA certification is desirable; strengthen ECL modelling, Basel norms, and analytics tools knowledge
• For Law Officer: SARFAESI, DRT, RBI Act, NI Act, Banking Regulation Act carry maximum weightage
• Avoid negative marking — 0.25 mark deducted per wrong answer; attempt only confident questions
• Experience proof is critical — ensure your experience certificates are on the exact prescribed format (Annexure-II) signed by Competent Authority; appointment letters/salary slips alone will get you disqualified
• Since only ONE post can be applied for, carefully evaluate which post code best matches your qualification + experience before submitting
