Hello everyone,

I took a PYP test for prelims and was able to clear all the non-merit sections, however, I was not able to answer the merit section at all as I am completely new to government exams. My background is Bsc Botany, Zoology and Geology, hence, I think I should be able to do ARD. I have also studied economics in class 11th and 12th. Moreover, I have worked as a subject matter expert for English for a few years. However, I can only give a year to this exam and I am scared looking at the number of vacancies. Please let me know if it's really possible to clear this exam in a year's time.

PS - I'll be preparing full time. Also, any tips for 2026 will be highly appreciated.

Randomly sessions happen for eg horticulture, out of nowhere uska mcq discussion bhi ho jata hai, then that live video gets added where in the course?
why youtube videos are added into his course folder ?

Any Realistic chance of clearing any of the Below exams ?
as i have found These 3 have 60% syllabus overlap.

1)RBI GRADE B/A
2)NABARD GRADE A
3)IRDAI GRADE A

I have bought EDUTAP NABARD and RBI combo.

Which Test series is Good for these two? Between OB and PM?

I've covered the syllabus decently 40%. So, seeing there are only 30-40 vacancies (for general unreserved category) usually...how should one prepare to make it to the final list. And is nabard worth it?

Selling my Edutap Gold course for NABARD Grade A (Phase 1 + 2 + Interview). Bought for ₹7k, valid for 12 months. Since I'm no longer preparing for NABARD Grade A, I'm selling it for ₹5k (slightly negotiable). DM if interested.

Hey everyone,

recently joined a coaching program for NABARD, and honestly, a bit overwhelmed right now. There are around 2000+ pages of PDFs, plus a huge number of pending recorded classes.

Iam confused about the right approach:

Is it actually necessary to complete all these PDFs and classes?

Or is it better to focus only on important/scoring topics?

If selective prep is the way, what should be prioritized more — ESI, ARD, GA, or aptitude sections?

Also, how do you guys usually balance content vs mock tests?

How should I study from these 2000 pages

Would really appreciate advice from people who’ve cleared Phase 1 or are preparing seriously 🙏
