Finance is the most overrated part of RBI Grade B

Do the arithmetic: static finance is worth about 10 marks. Give it a day, not a month.

As a business we shouldn’t say this. As teachers we have to. Put things in perspective:

  • Finance and Management paper: 100 marks
  • Finance half: 50
  • Finance objective: 25
  • Finance static: about 10 marks

That is half a day to a day of your time between Phase I and Phase II. Before you pick up any bulky book, ask whether you can revise it in less than a day.

Don’t let anyone tell you the section is hard because you are not from a finance background, and don’t chase difficult numericals. Learn finance by playing with it: our Excel practice sheet finishes 80% of bond numericals.
