BoM Generalist Officer (Scale II/III) study plan

Diagnose baseline by taking one timed 20-question reasoning set and one timed 20-question quant set, then log accuracy and time per question in a spreadsheet

Solve 40 puzzles and seating-arrangement problems, writing the constraint diagram for each before choosing an answer

Drill 50 simplification and approximation items using percentage-fraction and square-cube tables, targeting under 40 seconds each

Build a one-page formula sheet covering ratio, average, percentage, and profit-loss conversions

Solve 30 syllogism and inequality sets using Venn diagrams and the 'possibility' rule checklist

Complete 40 data-interpretation questions (tables, bar, and line charts) with calculation shown for each option eliminated

Practice 30 number-series and coding-decoding items, recording the pattern type identified for each

Time-box three 15-minute mixed reasoning sprints and review every wrong answer to classify the error type

Map the RBI regulatory framework: CRR, SLR, repo and reverse repo, MSF, and the policy corridor, and state how each affects bank liquidity

Explain the functioning of NPA classification (SMA-0/1/2, substandard, doubtful, loss) and provisioning norms in your own words

Summarise the roles of SEBI, IRDAI, PFRDA, and NPCI, and one current mandate for each

Review the last six months of RBI monetary policy decisions and note the rate changes and stated rationale

Break down a bank's balance sheet and compute key ratios: CRAR, CET-1, NIM, CASA, credit-deposit ratio, and return on assets from a sample set of figures

Distinguish working capital assessment methods (turnover method, MPBF cycles) and apply each to a hypothetical borrower

Explain Basel III capital tiers and the three pillars, and identify which risks each pillar addresses

Classify credit facilities by tenor and purpose (fund-based vs non-fund-based) with one example of each

Complete 60 reading-comprehension questions and label each answer's evidence sentence in the passage

Practise 40 error-spotting and sentence-improvement items, grouping errors by grammar rule

Memorise 60 high-frequency banking-awareness facts: deposit insurance cover, priority-sector targets, and key scheme eligibility

Write two 150-word précis summaries of financial-news editorials and compare them against the source for accuracy

Work through trade-finance instruments: letters of credit, bank guarantees, bills of exchange, and documentary collections, stating the risk each mitigates

Explain Incoterms categories and identify which party bears cost and risk at each stage for at least four common terms

Describe credit-risk tools (rating models, collateral valuation, DSCR, and stress testing) and apply DSCR to a sample cash-flow statement

Summarise priority-sector lending categories and the consequences of shortfall on a bank's P&L

Take two full-length timed mock tests under exam conditions and record section-wise scores

Re-solve every incorrect reasoning and quant question from the mocks without a time limit, then re-time them

Practise 30 cloze-test and para-jumble items, writing the connector or logic cue that determines each answer

Cut average reasoning time per question by 15% versus the week-1 baseline while holding accuracy above 75%

Revise the regulatory, credit, and trade-finance sheets, self-quizzing each to at least 85% recall

Take two final full-length mocks and cap review time at one hour per mock, focusing only on repeated error types

Rehearse 20 professional-knowledge questions on NPA recovery, SARFAESI, and IBC resolution timelines

Finalise a one-page last-day revision card covering rates, ratios, and key definitions
