RBI Grade B Interview: Marks, Process and Preparation

Last updated: 2026-11-08 · MockMentor

The RBI Grade B interview carries 75 marks, a quarter of the Phase-II total, and is added to your Phase-II marks to make the final merit list. Because it is added to Phase-II marks, the interview can change your final rank.

How it works

  • Shortlisting: candidates are called for interview based on their aggregate Phase-II marks.
  • Personality Assessment: before the interview, candidates go through a Personality Assessment. It carries no marks and is not part of the final selection.
  • Language: you can take the interview in Hindi or English.
  • Final merit: Phase-II (300) + Interview (75), plus grace marks where applicable.

What gets asked

The 2026 transcripts shared by our officers show three kinds of questions, asked by panels of five or six members:

  1. Your profile and work. One officer working in a bank was asked about the local economy and the business of their branch, with figures for deposits and loans.
  2. Economic and banking issues, with follow-ups on both sides. Examples: the benefits and risks of internationalising the rupee, and how loan waivers affect banks' net interest margin (NIM).
  3. Personal questions, such as what kind of books you read and why.

The best preparation material is what was actually asked. Read the real RBI Grade B 2026 interview transcripts shared by officers selected after preparing with MockMentor.

How to prepare

  • Write out your profile answers and check every fact in them; panels follow up on what you say.
  • Prepare department-wise: know what each major RBI department does and connect it to your background.
  • Keep current affairs fresh from the Phase-II period to the interview date.
  • Take mock interviews with honest feedback, and record yourself to check clarity and pace.
