How Late Starters Can Still Crack RBI Grade B

bahut sare late started apni preparation ko le kar ghabra jatein hain. Many late starters feel anxious about their preparation. They often get confused about where to begin, how to manage time, and what to focus on. The tips below will help you make the most of your remaining time and boost your chances of success.

1. Make a Realistic Study Plan

Late starters don’t have time to waste. They need to plan their studies perfectly for the little time they have. So, you can make your study plan either daily or weekly, and based on the number of days left before the RBI Grade B exam.

• Focus more on the areas you feel are your weaknesses
• Divide the day into study slots of 2 hours
• Include revision time in the schedule
• Make separate time blocks for Phase 1 and Phase 2
• Stick to your plan no matter what
  

2. Focus on High-Weightage Topics

You can’t cover everything, so study the most important topics first. Look at the previous year’s papers to understand what is asked more often.

• Start with topics that carry more marks
• Give priority to General Awareness and ESI
• Practice scoring areas like Quant DI, English Grammar
• Don’t ignore FM—many direct questions are asked
• Use a checklist to track progress
  

3. Use Quality Resources Only

When time is short, the right resources make a big difference. Don’t waste time using too many books or watching long videos.

• Pick only expert-recommended books and notes
• Use short and crisp video lectures
• Follow trusted current affairs sources
• Avoid switching between multiple platforms
• Use online courses for structured learning
  

4. Practice Mock Tests Regularly

Mocks help you understand the exam pattern, improve speed, and boost confidence. Late starters must use mock tests as a tool to fast-track learning.

• Take at least 3 Phase 1 mocks every week
• Take full-length Phase 2 mocks once a week
• Analyse your mistakes after each test
• Work on speed and accuracy together
• Try simulating real exam conditions at home
  

5. Revise Weekly and Keep Notes

Without revision, it’s easy to forget what you studied. So, weekly revision is a must—especially for current affairs and static concepts.

• Make short notes daily while studying
• Revise those notes every Sunday
• Highlight important formulas and facts
• Make one-pagers for quick revision
• Use apps or flashcards for on-the-go learning
  

Takeaway

You can, too, as a late starter, still clear the RBI Grade B exam. All you need is focus, the right plan, and smart effort to succeed. And for that, you need to follow your schedule, stay positive, and keep revising whatever you learn. Don’t forget that every hour, every day counts. So, use the time smartly.
And while studying, keep these points in mind:

• Start today, don’t wait for the notification: Start your preparation immediately. Today, and every single day, matters in such an exam preparation.
• Pay more attention to all the important topics: Make the most of your time by studying the topics that have high weightage.
