03- Govt. Schemes 100 Questions
Hello my dear friends!
I am back again with yet another paramount document that will support your
preparation of RBI Grade B examination.
So, what is this document?
This document contains a compilation of 100 most important questions from 100 most
important schemes. This can a “Ram-baanˮ for your preparation. Let me explain how –
The questions from schemes are asked in both phase 1 and phase 2. In phase 1 around
10 questions are asked out of 80 questions of general awareness.
Now, you will say only 10 questions? You will again ask  Do you really think that doing so
much hard work is justified for just 10 questions? I would rather focus on other 70
questions.
So, my dear friends, let me tell you my own experience here. I remember, I got rejected in DRDO
CEPTAM exam by 0.0016 marks. And do you know why? Because I just leave one topic before
going to the exam. And that one topic gave me that rejection in the exam.
Let me tell you that this is a competitive examination where even 0.0016 marks matters and here, I
am talking about 10 marks.
So, I hope you understand that schemes have to be covered for phase 1.
Now, coming to Phase 2
In ESI objective paper of phase 2, around 15 questions out of 30 are asked from the government
schemes.
Imagine around half of the question paper is from this topic only. Also, in descriptive paper of ESI
in 2023, the examiner asked a question of 10 marks from schemes only.
03 Govt. Schemes 100 Questions 1

Not only this, in 2023 exam, 45 questions were asked from PM Jan Dhan Yojana in finance
objective paper as well.
So, I believe, I donʼt have to explain the importance of schemes anymore.

Now, when you have understood the importance of schemes, let me tell some facts regarding level
of questions. In RBI Grade B examination, the examiner asks another level of questions which can
only be attempted if the candidate has in-depth understanding of schemes.
The types of questions include – case study based questions, paragraph based questions, match
the following and fill in the blanks. You will understand the types of questions once you go through
the compiled list of questions given below.
