RBI Grade B Topic wise previous years’ descriptive paper for Management

This document contains descriptive questions relating to Management and

corporate governance portion. Since ethics has been newly added, we have

to prepare model questions and answers as per the syllabus only. Further,

many new topics have been added to the syllabus in case of management

itself and portion of HRM has been removed. Since many direct topics are

provided in the syllabus, it is more likely that direct questions will be asked

from those topics. So, instead of roaming here and there, better to focus

on syllabus only. Exact definitions of authors as introduction of your

answers will fetch you more marks than general introduction. You do not

have option of drawing diagram related to various theories, so name of

the thinkers, year in which the theories have been propounded,

examples of their uses by known corporates and present day

relevance, if any, will give you edge over others. Stay tuned and for more
