Working at the Reserve Bank of India Is Possible — RBI DEPR Grade B Exam Preparation Starts Here

Somewhere between your economics degree and a steady desk job, there is a door most students walk past without realising it is open. That door leads to the Reserve Bank of India. And the RBI DEPR Grade B exam is the key.

What DEPR Actually Means — And Why This Role Is Unlike Any Other

DEPR stands for the Department of Economic and Policy Research. It is the Reserve Bank of India's knowledge centre for macroeconomic policy research.

DEPR officers do not just work at a bank. They research the macroeconomic challenges facing the Indian economy. They contribute to decisions on monetary policy, growth, and inflation dynamics — the real forces that shape how the country's economy breathes.

Every year, the RBI announces three new positions in DEPR. Three. That is how selective and how significant this role is.

Most people do not realise that RBI DEPR Grade B coaching targets one of the most focused recruitment processes in India's banking sector. The positions are rare, the work is serious, and the right preparation makes all the difference.

Understanding the Exam Before You Study a Single Page

The RBI DEPR Grade B Exam Preparation begins with knowing the exam structure clearly.

Phase 1 has two papers. Paper I is objective type — 100 marks, 120 minutes, covering Economics. Paper II is descriptive — also 100 marks, 120 minutes — typed using a keyboard.

Phase 2 has two more descriptive papers, each 100 marks and 120 minutes. Answers are written on paper while the question appears on a screen.

Final selection is based on your combined performance across Phase 1, Phase 2, and an interview.

To be eligible, you need a Master's degree in Economics or Finance with a minimum of 55% marks. A Doctorate in Economics qualifies too, with a minimum of 50%.

Think of the exam like a three-stage filter — each phase narrows the field further. Only the most conceptually clear and well-practised candidates pass all three.
