Sample RBI Assistant Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your RBI Assistant exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Choose the option that best fills the blank: 'The committee will _______ the new policy after reviewing all stakeholder feedback.'
A.implement
B.implementing
C.implemented
D.implementation
Explanation: After the modal auxiliary 'will', a verb must appear in its base (infinitive) form. 'will implement' is the correct future-tense construction.
2Select the word most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to 'ABUNDANT'.
A.Plentiful
B.Scarce
C.Ample
D.Copious
Explanation: 'Abundant' means existing in large quantities. Its antonym is 'scarce', meaning insufficient or in short supply.
3Identify the grammatically correct sentence.
A.Neither of the candidates were selected.
B.Neither of the candidates was selected.
C.Neither of the candidate were selected.
D.Neither of the candidate was selected.
Explanation: 'Neither' is singular and takes a singular verb, so 'was' is correct. The phrase 'of the candidates' uses the plural noun because it refers to a group of two or more from which we single out none.
4Choose the correctly spelled word.
A.Accommodation
B.Acommodation
C.Accomodation
D.Acomodation
Explanation: 'Accommodation' is spelled with double 'c' and double 'm'. It is one of the most commonly misspelled words in English.
5In the sentence 'The report, along with its appendices, _______ ready for submission', choose the correct verb.
A.are
B.is
C.were
D.have been
Explanation: When a singular subject ('The report') is joined by a phrase like 'along with', the verb agrees with the main subject, not the parenthetical phrase. Hence the singular 'is' is correct.
6Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'Despite the heavy rain, the team remained _______ in their decision to proceed.'
A.resolute
B.reluctant
C.hesitant
D.indifferent
Explanation: 'Resolute' means firmly determined. It fits the contrast set up by 'Despite the heavy rain', showing the team stayed firm in proceeding.
7Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error: 'Each of the employees / have submitted / their leave application / on time.'
A.Each of the employees
B.have submitted
C.their leave application
D.on time
Explanation: 'Each' is singular and requires the singular verb 'has submitted', not 'have submitted'. Subject-verb agreement is the error here.
8Choose the option that is the correct synonym of 'METICULOUS'.
A.Careless
B.Thorough
C.Hasty
D.Vague
Explanation: 'Meticulous' means showing great attention to detail; 'thorough' is its closest synonym, meaning complete and careful.
9Rearrange to form a coherent sentence: P) to the bank Q) the customer went R) to deposit S) his monthly salary
A.Q P R S
B.P Q R S
C.Q R P S
D.R S Q P
Explanation: The logical order is 'The customer went to the bank to deposit his monthly salary': Q (the customer went) P (to the bank) R (to deposit) S (his monthly salary).
10Fill in the blank with the correct preposition: 'The new branch will cater _______ the needs of rural depositors.'
A.for
B.to
C.with
D.at
Explanation: The verb 'cater' takes the preposition 'to' when it means to provide what is wanted or needed: 'cater to the needs'.

About the RBI Assistant Exam

Each wrong answer carries a penalty of one-fourth mark, and candidates must clear both sectional and overall cut-offs. Only the Mains score counts toward the final merit list; the Prelims is a screening stage.

RBI Assistant Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practice Prelims sections under tight sectional timing — speed and accuracy matter because 100 questions must be attempted in 60 minutes.
2Account for the 0.25 negative marking: skip questions you cannot reasonably solve rather than guessing blindly.
3Build a daily current-affairs habit covering the last 4 to 6 months, with extra focus on banking, RBI policy, and government schemes for the Mains General Awareness section.
4Master high-yield quantitative topics first — simplification, number series, percentages, ratio, and data interpretation give quick, reliable marks.
5Drill reasoning puzzles and seating arrangement regularly, as these carry significant weight and reward consistent practice.
6Revise computer fundamentals, MS Office shortcuts, internet/networking terms, and basic cyber-security for the Mains Computer Knowledge section.
7Prepare for the Language Proficiency Test of your chosen state early so you are not caught off guard after clearing the Mains.
