[PLS HELP] Need Course suggestions for RBI Grade B 2026

Hi everyone,

My brother has his RBI Grade B exam coming up, but due to some personal/work reasons he hasn’t really started preparation yet. Right now the immediate goal is to somehow clear Phase 1, and then prepare seriously for Phase 2 afterward.

His English, Quant, and Reasoning are already decent, so the main issue is:

  • General Awareness for Phase 1
  • Complete preparation for Phase 2 subjects (ESI + FM mainly)

We were looking for a structured and affordable course that can help him cover things quickly and efficiently.

So far we’ve shortlisted:

Would really appreciate honest suggestions from people who have actually prepared for RBI Grade B recently:

  • Which course is best if starting late?
  • Is PW enough for GA + Phase 2?
  • Is StudyIQ better for current affairs and descriptive prep?
  • Any strategy to maximize chances of clearing Phase 1 in limited time?

Any guidance, experience, or even warnings about what to avoid would genuinely help.

Thanks a lot!

I hope I don’t regret rejecting IIM C someday.

I scored 99.85 percentile in CAT and had a call from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta. For years, this was supposed to be the dream. The kind of thing people around you celebrate instantly, without a second thought.

But to be honest, I don’t even know why I went for it so seriously in the first place. I don’t know what exactly kept me studying for the exam, pushing through interviews, obsessing over percentiles and calls. Maybe it was validation. Maybe it was fear of missing out. Maybe I just wanted to prove something to myself.

And now that I finally have it in front of me… I feel strangely disconnected from it.

Somewhere deep down, my gut just isn’t feeling right. Instead of excitement, there’s mostly confusion. And after months of overthinking, conversations, anxiety, and trying to convince myself, I’ve decided to let it go.

That scares me because opportunities like these don’t come often. There’s obviously this voice in my head saying, “What if this turns out to be the biggest mistake of your life?”

Maybe it is. Maybe I’m choosing uncertainty over a path that was already validated by society. But for once, I wanted to listen to myself instead of the noise around me.

So yeah, this is my signal to the world.
I hope I don’t regret it.
