ExploreAbout this exam
The RBB Assistant Manager credential refers to the recruitment examination through which Rastriya Banijya Bank Limited (RBBL) selects candidates for the Assistant Manager level. RBBL describes itself as having "a history of serving its customers far and wide across the nation for more than six decades"; it was established on 10 Magh 2022 (23 January 1966) under the Rastriya Banijya Bank Act, 2021, was re-registered as a public limited company on 6 Baishak 2063 (19 May 2006), and now operates as an "A" class financial institution licensed by Nepal Rastra Bank. This page is an independent study resource for candidates preparing for that competitive selection; it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the bank. Because an Assistant Manager in a class "A" commercial bank touches both branch operations and supervision, preparation should be built around five areas: banking and financial institution operations; credit and lending across business, retail and agriculture portfolios (RBBL publicly lists agronomy, livestock, horticulture, floriculture, aquaculture and apiculture lending alongside housing, vehicle, gold, share and government-bond loans); digital banking, cards and remittance services (RBBL offers RBB Digital Sansar, credit and debit cards, POS, branchless banking, RBB Remit and SWIFT); regulatory compliance including KYC/AML and Nepal Rastra Bank directives; and general management, customer service and grievance handling. A sensible plan is to master operations and credit first, since together they carry the greatest weight, then layer digital channels and the compliance framework, and finish with service and grievance topics. Use the FAQ below to plan format, timing, revision order and risk areas.
What you'll study
About RBB Assistant Manager preparation
What does the RBB Assistant Manager exam actually test?
Expect coverage of commercial bank operations, credit and lending (business, retail and agriculture), digital banking including cards and remittances, regulatory compliance such as KYC/AML and Nepal Rastra Bank directives, plus general management, customer service and grievance handling. Because the role is supervisory, prepare to reason about process controls and customer outcomes, not only definitions.
How difficult is the paper?
It is a competitive recruitment exam for a class "A" commercial bank, so the difficulty comes from breadth rather than obscure trivia. Candidates who know products and processes superficially tend to lose marks on compliance detail and on questions that combine credit risk with regulatory limits. Depth in two or three domains beats shallow coverage of all five.
Is there negative marking or a retake policy?
This page does not state a marking scheme, pass mark, or retake policy; those details are set by the bank's published vacancy notice and syllabus, which you should read directly before registering. Treat any figure you see elsewhere as unverified unless it appears in the official notice.
How should I order my study?
Start with banking operations and credit, since they carry the greatest weight and underpin everything else. Then study digital banking, cards and remittance, because those questions often assume operational knowledge. Move to KYC/AML and Nepal Rastra Bank directives, and finish with management, service and grievance handling, which is smaller but easy marks.
What are the most common failure modes?
Three recur. First, memorising product names without knowing eligibility, collateral or repayment logic. Second, ignoring compliance detail such as customer due diligence and reporting duties. Third, weak customer-service judgement, where candidates give a technically correct answer that mishandles the complainant. Practise explaining a decision briefly and in the customer's interest.
Which RBB specifics are worth remembering?
Useful anchors: RBBL is an "A" class institution licensed by Nepal Rastra Bank; it was established on 10 Magh 2022 (23 January 1966) and re-registered as a public limited company on 6 Baishak 2063 (19 May 2006); it operates 205 own ATM outlets; its SWIFT code is RBBANPKA; and its toll-free number is 16600132022.
How do I handle questions about grievance handling?
Answer in a sequence: acknowledge, record, investigate within your authority, resolve or escalate, and inform the customer of the outcome and next step. Show that you distinguish service complaints from suspected fraud or AML matters, which must be escalated rather than settled informally. Keep tone respectful and avoid promising outcomes you cannot authorise.
How much time should I spend per topic?
Weight your revision roughly to the syllabus emphasis: operations and credit deserve the largest share, digital banking and compliance the next, and management and grievance handling the smallest but not negligible share. Build short weekly self-tests so weak areas surface early rather than in the final week.
