As per the chart above there is not much difference in the vacancies in the Hindi belt offices, so you can choose any office of your choice as per your location preference.

Question: If I apply from a particular office will I be posted in that office ?

As per Pt. (iv) on page 5 of the notification

  “Selected candidates will be initially posted in RBI’s office within the Recruitment Zone for which
they had applied. However, they are liable to be transferred in administrative exigencies to centres
grouped and classified into West, South, North and East Zone offices as under: “

(a) West Zone:
Ahmedabad, Bhopal (including Raipur), Mumbai (including Belapur), Nagpur,Pune and Panaji.
(b) South Zone:
Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochiand Thiruvananthapuram.
(c) North Zone:
 Chandigarh(including Shimla), Jaipur, Jammu / Srinagar, Kanpur, Lucknow (including Dehradun) and
New Delhi.
(d) East Zone:
Bhubaneswar, Guwahati (including all North Eastern states), Kolkata and Patna(including Ranchi).

So you would initially be posted at the office where you applied but may be transferred, so you should be mentally prepared for transfer


Question: There are very few vacancies in Hindi speaking states, is it worth applying ?

Ans. Yes, this job is for RBI assistants, securing a government job and that too in the Reserve Bank of India,is a matter of great pride and honour even if there are few vacancies, there is no harm in applying, since the pattern of the exam is very similar to that of IBPS Clerk. For bank jobs aspirants this is an ideal opportunity to test themselves.

In case you are already through with your IBPS preparation then there is nothing new which you need to study So no harm in applying. It is only a matter of Rs 400/- at the most.

In case you are targeting IBPS PO – 2013 or IBPS Clerk 2013, you should treat this RBI assistant’s examination as valuable practice for the examinations coming later in the year.

Also remember this profile of RBI assistants is no small profile, no less than a Clerical level cadre job in a PSU Bank , you will have a good career if you are selected.

It is also a prestigious job, so you need not feel disheartened if the number of vacancies is small. Only after trying can you succeed in life.


Question: What is the pattern of the paper and how should I prepare ?

Ans.   The pattern is similar to that of IBPS Clerk exam, 40 questions per section and 5 sections in total. So your preparation should be that of  IBPS Clerk.

Currently there are two Clerical level vacancies Insurance Assistants and RBI Assistants, both examinations are taking place in the month of July, and more or less the examination pattern will be similar, so you should target both these exams simultaneously.

Both these examinations are an ideal warm-up for the examination scheduled later in the year viz :-

(1)   IBPS RRB – II Officers and Assistants 2013
(2)   IBPS PO-III 2013
(3)   IBPS Clerk – III 2013

   So all the best and get cracking !!
