Objective, 200 marks. GA is 80 of them.

65+ / 80 hit ratio on previous papersGA flash cards
Context-based cards mapped to the capsule (e.g. Schemes › Health › Initiative), on your phone, with spaced repetition.
Revise on the goStatic GA
Mnemonics for organisations and headquarters, AIIB versus NDB, currencies, banks and their headquarters. No useless information.
Mnemonics throughoutQuant

By CAT 99.9 percentilersReasoning
Topics ordered by return on effort: 20+ first, then 30+, then 45+ for those who want Reasoning as their strong area.

50–60 pagesEnglish writing
You don’t have to be Shakespeare. Smart tips and deliberate practice for essay, précis and comprehension.
EvaluatedWrite 600 words without fear.
RBI Phase II is now mostly descriptive, and NABARD followed. You don’t need model answers to memorise. You need a way to build an answer for a question you have never seen.
The Lego Method
Break the question down, set aside what doesn’t matter, place it in the syllabus, reuse what you have solved before, then add detail. A 10-day cycle of diagnostic answers, one part at a time.
Templates
Three words for agriculture (FIRST, MSP MSP-ER, ICICI) open up 15 to 20 points. Templates exist for every major ESI and Finance and Management keyword.
2D4C
Two Ds and four Cs: definitions and data, then committees, case studies, codes and mnemonics, and ready conclusions.
Theme-based PYQs
Questions from 20 years (2002 onwards), sorted into themes. In 2021 and 2022, 60 to 70% of the questions came from themes already asked.
Two tiers, both evaluated.
One year, over 200 acads learners cleared Phase I, and only 41 submitted tests. The problem isn’t knowing that tests matter. It’s inertia. So we make the first step tiny.
Tier I · Diagnostics
One or two questions a day, each day on one part of answer writing. You get unexpected questions on purpose, so the fear goes before the exam does.
Tier II · Full-length tests
Six full-length Phase II tests after the mentoring and feedback rounds, for practice and confidence.
Every answer is evaluated by a mentor. No model-answer self-checking.
Your biodata decides your interview.
The board has three or four minutes with your biodata before you walk in. RBI has given interview marks from 2 to 73 out of 75 in a single year, so this stage decides selections.
Biodata session
How the board reads your biodata, and the Profile Index: how many technical versus profile questions to expect.
One-to-one session
Profile-based and expected questions, with a mentor.
Personalised Biodata Report
Knowledge, communication, answer structure and stress management; today’s score and potential score; positives, areas to work on, and expected questions.
Mock interview
By a team that has cleared IIM A, IIT, RBI, Wharton and ISB interviews.
Also in CRC.
Intelligent Guessing
21 techniques from 10 years of RBI, SEBI and IAS PYQs. Part of CRC only.
20 years of Phase II PYQs
ESI, Management and Finance questions from 2002 onwards, sorted into themes.
The CRC Strategist
Nudge mentorship, discipline and time management, and your progress in one place.

In their own words.
Many thanks to your crisp notes and unique pedagogy, I've managed to clear the RBI Grade B Phase-II. Although I started preparing for Phase-II only after the Phase-I results were out, your notes and guidance have really enabled me to make the best use of my limited time.
Ultra compact management module is simply the best. Never felt so confident in management. Although I couldn't revise full, but managed to finish 40% while filling workbooks. I am sure that next time I will be able to revise in less than a day.
I could clear phase 2 only because of your compact notes and mnemonics. I started prep very late and was giving for experience. However, thanks to you I could clear phase 2.
Questions?
Why is CRC by application only?
It is built around mentorship and evaluation, which takes our time. So seats are limited and we talk to every applicant first.
Are the tests really evaluated?
Of course. A descriptive answer has no single right answer and everyone writes differently, so model answers to check yourself against don’t work. A mentor evaluates every answer.
I am an engineer. How do I learn answer writing?
We are engineers too. The Lego Method treats a question like an engineering problem: break it down and solve one piece at a time. Made for engineers, by engineers.
Is the Phase I test series included?
No. For Phase I, take a large test series with at least 10,000 participants. Our batches are smaller, so we focus on the descriptive paper.
How long is it valid?
Until Phase II of the next RBI Grade B exam.
Is there a discount?
Mentorship-based courses are rarely discounted. Ask us before you apply.
