What-are-suggested-books-for-RBI-grade-B-exam

I gave this exam when it was subjective. Now the pattern has been changed and phase 2 has been made objective. Which in my personal opinion is not right step.

I went quickly through some of the questions that were asked in recent objective phase 2. And I believe following sources may be included in the preparation:

1) The Hindu (and not TOI)
2) Business Standard (and not FT)
3) JAIIB and CAIIB books - selective reading as per the syllabus (emphasis on some of the compulsory topics of CAIIB)
4) Governor, Deputy Governors speeches on RBI website.
5) Economic Survey of India and Indian Budget

Above list is not exhaustive.
