Importance Of Books For RBI Assistant Exam
RBI recruitments are seasonal, as a result exam oriented coaching is hardly available. However, thankfully RBI assistant exam books and other preparation material are readily available.
As you can read from the official notification, there will be both sectional cutoff and overall cutoff in the online written exam. In addition to this if you clear the written exam and are called for an interview, the final merit list will be prepared on the basis of your TOTAL marks in written exam AND interview.
So it is highly important that you give your 100% to prepare for the online exam. And in doing so, RBI assistant exam books are your best bet.
The competition and difficulty level for RBI assistants exams are both higher than that for other assistant exams, but they are certainly not as high as what is seen in PO exams.
