RBI Grade B DEPR prep — common questions

Frequently asked questions

What does the RBI Grade B DEPR preparation package include?
A 15-test plan built around the Phase I Paper I format: 5 full-length mock examinations (65 questions each, 30 one-mark and 35 two-mark) and 10 clubbed subject tests — 2 complete sets across each of the five subject clusters. The question bank has over 1,400 questions covering the full RBI Economics syllabus.
What are the five subject clusters and why are they clubbed?
The five clusters — Micro Plus (Microeconomics, Public Economics, Game Theory), Macro Plus (Macroeconomics, Money & Banking, International Economics), Growth, Development & Environment, Quantitative Methods in Economics, and Indian Economics — were designed under the guidance of expert faculty with two principles in mind: pairing each high-weightage subject with one or two lighter ones to make the load manageable, and grouping subjects that naturally reinforce each other conceptually. The result is a preparation structure built for the reality of limited time, not just a sweep through the syllabus topic by topic.
Do I need to subscribe to try the RBI Grade B preparation?
No — and for RBI Grade B DEPR 2026, the full preparation package is free during beta. You can browse package details without signing in; attempting diagnostics and tests requires an account so your progress is saved. Full platform access — tests, adaptive recommendations, and performance tracking — is available free while the beta cohort is open.
How does Xaptiq personalise my RBI Grade B preparation?
After your baseline diagnostic, Xaptiq maps your current level across all five subject clusters and generates a personalised preparation pathway — which tests to attempt first, which clusters to prioritise, and how to pace the 15-test plan given the time left before the exam. The plan is designed around the RBI Grade B DEPR timeline from the start, so you are not left to figure out sequencing yourself.
Can I get guidance from a mentor during my RBI Grade B preparation?
Yes. Xaptiq pairs adaptive technology with Dr. Komal Sahai and her team at EcoNiti. They know the RBI Grade B DEPR syllabus and exam pattern in depth, and bring that expertise into your preparation when you need help with a concept, a subject cluster, or your performance data. The platform handles the structure; the mentors handle the nuance. You can reach them directly via the EcoNiti contact page, or review the IES + RBI Grade B DEPR course if you want live teaching and Xaptiq practice together.
Where do the practice questions come from?
The question bank combines past RBI Grade B DEPR exam questions with newly developed items built using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques — ensuring both exam relevance and conceptual depth. Questions are mapped to the RBI economics taxonomy and organised by subject cluster and difficulty, so every test reflects how the actual exam is structured.
