 So, this is Ranjit from Shankar Air's Academy. Today we discuss about RBA Grade B 2022 notification. Students, many candidate they are expecting RBA Grade B notification now is coming out so that we'll discuss about all those things age criteria, qualifications, and what are the salaries? I mean, roles and responsibility in Grade B offices. Then after that, what are the syllabus? How to crack the examination? We'll discuss about everything. And before that, you have form filling. I mean, RBA Grade B, I mean, fill the form so that many persons they say like that whether you belong to UPSC category, I mean UPSC candidate or belongs to UPSC candidate or economics candidate, these people are only, I mean, they can attend only RBA Grade B examination. Other students, they never try to attend the RBA Grade B examination. So because these, those who are coming from UPSC background student or economic background student, they only crack the examination. Other students, they are not cracking the examination. So these are the, I mean, wrong information is going on. So that's what I say here RBA Grade B exam is common to all the students because even history student and other non-economic students, other UPSC non-background students, they can able to write the examination because they're asking only the basic level of the question. They're never asking in-depth questions. So they're asking only basic level of the question. Most of the question, it covers from economics and finance and management. Finance and management, if supposed to be, if you started like a pressure, you can able to grasp all those things because the basic thing is given in the finance management. The 50% of the question asking from the basic level. The remaining 50% of the question, they're asking some part of the financial, I mean, finance and economic, socioeconomics. So that we'll see the RBA, everyone can apply the examination, not only for UPSC background student and economic background students. This is common to all the students. This is common to all the students. They can, I mean, whoever to willing to this RBA Grade B exam, you can apply RBA Grade B. So that we'll see one by one. First of all, RBA notification. Actually, notification came out to 28th of March. So that till April 20, April 18th, I mean, online registration of application and payment. So this is six o'clock, this is very important because many say like that 12 p.m. Actually, the six o'clock till six o'clock, that is, I mean closing date, the last date of April 18th. Then last date of receipt of application, phase one online examination, May 28th, so 2022. Then phase two, you have a paper one, paper two, paper three. We'll discuss about later what is paper one, paper two, paper three. So June 25th, tentative date is given. Then after that officer in Grade B, DER, DER. So if some students, the asking question whether I can apply both because some other qualification is given. So based on the qualification, you can apply for general as well as DEPR or DSIM. So that department of economic policy research. And the next one is department of statistical investment, I mean, information management. So these are the posting is given. Then officer in Grade B general 109 general category and 32 for shuttle cast, 15 for ST and OBC 59, EWS 23. Total number of post is 238. Of course, this is a huge post because when we compare into the previous year, only 100 posts or even 97 posts is also they given. So that when I compare to the last year, of course 238 is a huge number of posting RBI for the general category. So the next one is nothing but officers in Grade B, so that vacancy under 11. Then just scheduled cast is four, then tribe ST five posting is there. So when I compare to the previous year, of course, this is also huge, right? So the next one, and next one, the age criteria. So age criteria is minimum 21 years, maximum 30 years, right? So age relaxation, SEST five years, OBC three years. Even general category like PWBD 10 years and SEST 15 years, OBC 13 years. So that OBC relaxation at three years is given, so you can able to write a maximum 33 years of age. But a general category that particular belong, those who belongs to general category, they can able to write between 21 to 30 years, right? So age criteria. Next one is minimum, what is the qualification required to fill the form? So that graduation in any discipline with minimum 60 percentage mark. So that this is mandatory 60 percentage mark. So many say like that the CPGA. So in that CPGA, you may secure 6.75 percentage of the mark. So if it is 60 percentage, it means 6.75. So we have to secure 6.75 out of 10 CPGA. So that the next one is nothing but post graduation. It's supposed to be if you are not secure 60 percentage of the mark. Many say like that whether we are eligible or not. So or post graduation in any discipline with the minimum 55 percentage mark. If you are not secure minimum 55 percentage in PG, so you are not eligible for this examination. So that either you are secure like 60 percentage UG or you can secure like 55 percentage in PG. So you people are eligible for this examination. The next one is officer in grade B DEPR, a master degree in economics finance or PGDA, MBA with a specialization in economy and finance with minimum 55 percentage and SEST 50 percentage is minimum required. So many students they say like that we are eligible for both the post. Can we apply for the both the post? Of course you can able to apply both the post. You can apply for grade B and grade B DEPR and grade B general. Or grade B general DASM. You can apply any one of these two. So DEPR DASM, you can apply any one but general RBA grade B general common to all so that you can apply for any two of the post. Among three, any two of the post you can apply it, right? The next one grade B DASM, right? So statistics, a master degree in stats, mathematics stats, then mathematically economics, econometric, statistic and information, applied statistics and information with, informatics with 55 percentage mark. So 50 percentage, SEST, other categories. So that next one. So this is nothing but phase one examination paper. The first one is general awareness around 80 question, they asking 80 questions. Quantitative aptitude 30 question, English language 30, reasoning 60, total 200 question. I mean here RBA which is not mentioned sectional timing. So what they said, sectional timing which is mentioned later but we have in the previous year time allotment so that that's what I put a time. So we have a sectional timing also so that clearly mentioned RBA it would be, I mean I notified later so that definitely we have sectional timing. So that in the last year sectional cut off, I mean sectional timing is nothing but general awareness 25 minutes, quantitative aptitude 25 minutes, English language 25 minutes and reasoning 45 minutes, except to reasoning the rest of the three session. So you have 25 minutes of time, they provided 25 minutes of time. So reasoning they provided 45 minutes of time, right? So total 120 minutes. Later we discuss about the topic and what are the strategy and what, how much of the time we are going to spend each session. So we'll be discussed later. Next one, this is phase two. Paper one is, I mean phase one is only for the qualification. So those who are eligible for phase one, those who are clear the section cut off as well as the overall cut off because in phase one we have a sectional cut off as well as we have a overall cut off. So if you, I mean if you cleared both sectional cut off and overall cut off then only you are qualified for the second level phase two, all right? So that this is very important because the sectional cut off and overall cut off because many students, they think about that only the considered overall cut off actually section cut off is also there, right? So sectional cut off, I mean based on the paper it would be very like seven, eight, nine, 10. So it depends upon the paper, all right? We'll discuss about that. Then next one is phase two. Paper one, economics and social issues. So it's completely off of the paper is objective type and the remaining off is nothing but descriptive type. So that paper one, the socioeconomics, economics and social issues, 30 question, total 36 question, 30 question objective type, like six question is a descriptive type. Among 30 questions, among 30 questions, 20 question is a two more question and 10 question is a one more question. So descriptive writing, they are given a six, I mean writing, I mean the six descriptive paper, I mean based on that six paper, so you have to choose any four. So that you have to choose any four. Each paper like 15 more question, two paper, I mean two question is 15 more question and the remaining two question is a 10 more questions. So total hundred marks. Then same whatever they're given in the economics and social issues, the same thing, general finance and management, like same 36 question, totally. 36, 30 question is objective type, six question is a descriptive paper. Same, like 20 questions, two more question, 10 question is one more question. Descriptive paper, among six, you have to choose any four. You have to choose any four. So two questions, 15 more question and two question is 10 more questions, right? Same hundred marks. Here socioeconomics issues, like economics and social issues. In the objective type, they're given 30 minutes of time, remaining descriptive paper, 90 minutes of time, among 120 minutes, 30 minutes for objective type, 30, 90 minutes for like a descriptive type, descriptive questions. Same general finance also, objective type of question, they provided 30 minutes. The rest of the paper, like a descriptive paper, they provided 20 minutes of, I mean 90 minutes of time. Here the descriptive paper, paper two, English descriptive paper, they're asking three level of paper, they're given like three level of paper. The first one is preserating, a second one is a descriptive writing and third one is a comprehension, right? So based on that, so that they provided 90 minutes of time, 100 questions. So total 300 question. Mainst mark is very important because it's playing a vital role in the interview. So that once you play as phase two, so you will be eligible for the third level. So third level, it's an interview process. Candidate will be shortlisted for the interview based on the aggregated mark obtained in phase two. So that phase two, the paper one, like social and economics, the paper two is descriptive and paper three is nothing but finance and management. So among these three paper, around 300 marks is there, plus 75 marks. So we have a total 375 marks. In that 375 marks, you people are secure like 70% is those who are secure, 70% is more than mark, more than 70% of the mark, they will be clear, they will get through the job, right? So these are the things. So interview is playing, of course, main examinations playing a vital role because if you are getting more mark in main examinations, definitely you will be clear in the next level so that the interview also. The next one, last year cutoff. We have a last year cutoff and before that 2019 cutoff because 2019, when I compare to 2021, it's drastically reduced because in 2021, 66.75 is maximum cutoff, actually, general cutoff is the maximum always. So that's what 66 is the maximum cutoff here. So that total cutoff is 66.75, 2021. In 2019, 120 is the maximum cutoff, 120 is the maximum cutoff because in 2019, the paper was very easy when I compare to 2021. So whatever it is, even 66.75, this is out of 200 mark. So students can get out of 200, they secure only 66.75. So that much of difficulties they're asking question, I mean, when I compare to 2019, because 2019, 120 is a cutoff. Of course, the paper was moderator. So when I seems like that 66.75, the paper was very difficult because students facing a more problem. The question is also very difficult whether it is a general awareness question or reasoning or math, everything should be very difficult. That's what the students get only 66.75, that is the minimum cutoff. Once you've cleared the minimum cutoff, you can, you are eligible for the second place, right? So that in general category, 66.75, AWS category, same. OBC category, 63.75, and SES category, 53.5 and 52.75. So these are the sectional cutoff. So what I said in the early section, we have a sectional cutoff and we have a overall cutoff. So this is overall cutoff. Even general awareness out of 80, you must be secure like 16 marks, that is the sectional cutoff. Then after that reasoning, 12 is the sectional cutoff. English language six is the minimum cutoff. So that's what I say, how they are going to asking very difficult in English session because students getting out of 30, only six marks, right? So then aptitude, aptitude, of course, that is also six is the minimum cutoff, right? Like if you want to, if you attend like just six or seven question, you will be secure like six question, but the overall cutoff is 66.75. So that you have to concentrate other part also, right? At the same time, the consistency is very important. So that once you concentrate in the first paper, like first session, you have to concentrate in the all the session because overall you have to secure like 62, 70 percentage of the mark. Like in the previous year, 2019 paper was very easy because I mean, the minimum cutoff is 120. So that's what the level of difficulties is very important here. Whenever the question paper is tough, so you have to secure like 66.75, so you have to secure more than 80 plus. So whenever the paper should be moderate, so you have to secure more than 100. If the paper was very easy, of course you have to secure more than 120 plus. So these are the strategy to crack the preliminary examination, right? Next one. Let's see phase two, phase two. So those who are clear phase one, they are eligible for phase two examination. In phase two, total 300 mark because we have three papers. In that three paper, 300 marks. In the last year cutoff, I mean 2021 cutoff 187.75. So this is a general cutoff. Then after adding interview mark, so 252.25 is the basic cutoff. So those who are secure 252.25, they are eligible for, they will get through the job. So they will get through the job 252.25. Let's take the difference between 187.75, 252. Around you are getting 65 marks. This 65 marks, which is not secure in the interview. So it is not impossible at all because out of 75, nobody is secure like 65. So maybe one or two person, but not all the person. So that means mark is very important. That's what I said early. So that means mark is a very important. If you secure whatever the cutoff is given, like in the mains mark 187.75, if you secure like 210 or 215, definitely you will be getting a job. So definitely you will be getting a job and you will be getting, you will be securing this mark very easily because once you are getting interview out of 75, if you are getting 40 marks or 50 marks, that is more than enough because you are very good mark in what the main examination. So that's what I say. So mains examination, it's playing a vital role. So this is very important, please note. So thank you. So we'll see the next session, we'll discuss about how to crack the examination, what are the syllabus and strategy. Okay, thank you.
