My last two year's experience with Testonomics has been worthwhile. The Test Series is well planned and meticulously curated supplemented with detailed solutions and additional resources to refer along. The coverage of all the cardinal topics and the quality of questions definitely helped me upping my level of preparation for Phase-1, as it pivoted me towards the areas I was overlooking earlier. Additionally, Nikhil Sir's guidance & feedback for the interview was extremely helpful.
I am so happy that I chose Testonomics to assist my preparation of the RBI DEPR Exam !

I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance provided by Nikhil sir through this journey of RBI DEPR 2023 Examination.
- Apeksha Sharma (Enrolled in RBI DEPR 2023 Test Series and Free Interview Guidance Programme 2023)
My experience with Testonomics was really fulfilling. I give credit to Nikhil sir for not just sharing resources and designing test series with extremely high hit rate but also being a constant source of motivation and guidance. Due to time paucity, I just relied on Testonomics for preparing for RBI specifically & the team has been really helpful with providing preparation resources, guidance, motivation & constant personalised feedback.
I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor for cracking this specific exam.
- Parul Arora (Enrolled in RBI DEPR 2023 and 2022 Test Series and Free Interview Guidance Programme 2023)
I had enrolled for the free Interview guidance programme with Testonomics for preparation of my RBI DEPR interview. The thing which I liked the most was that there were two separate mocks : one focused on my Bio-Data and other on a relevant topic. This was especially helpful since it helped to think more deeply about the questions and also frame suitable responses.
- Sanjana Sejwal (Enrolled in Free Interview Guidance Programme)
I joined the RBI DEPR Phase-1 Test Series and Interview Guidance program of Testonomics. It was a very good experience for me. For the Phase-1 Exam, I benefited immensely from the coverage of all important topics and previous year questions included in the Test Series.
When I began preparing for Interview, I had a long discussion with Nikhil Sir regarding Interview Panel's expectations from the candidates. Also, the content/ links provided for the Interview preparation were very helpful. Nikhil Sir's suggestions regarding expected questions from my biodata helped me to cover aspects that I had missed !
I am extremely THANKFUL to Nikhil Sir for his continuous support and guidance throughout my journey !
- Anamika (Enrolled in RBI DEPR Test Series and Free Interview Guidance Programme)
Nikhil is a brilliant mentor. I came across his platform Testonomics a few years back and immediately understood how different his content was from run of the mill courses offered by others that hardly offer any targeted guidance for Economics exams.
Being an Economics graduate from one of the top institutes of the country, Nikhil is someone whose knowledge and expertise you can trust to guide you for these exams, especially RBI DEPR. He puts in a lot of effort to ensure that his lectures and Mock Tests are of the highest quality. In 2023, he also came up with courses and exercises at the shortest notice to help candidates with the new pattern. That is how dedicated he is !
One of his other standout qualities is his availability. He is extremely responsive, understands each student’s specific requirements, and genuinely cares. I don’t remember how many times I texted him for the stupidest of things and I always received a sensible and reassuring reply – which was also properly punctuated and neatly organized into paragraphs! He was there for me at every step. When I first started preparing for DEPR, I was already a researcher and out of touch with most things that this exam tests you on. Nikhil’s Video Courses and Mock Tests were exceptionally helpful in addressing this.
All in all, the contribution of Testonomics has been invaluable to my journey !
- Sritama Ray (Enrolled in Statistics and Econometrics Course, Microeconomics Course, English Essay Course, RBI DEPR Test Series and Free Interview Guidance Programme)
Initially, I had enrolled in the online Video Course of Econometrics and Statistics and Microeconomics at Testonomics. It was extremely helpful in clearing my basic understanding as well as grasping advanced concepts. Thereafter, I had also enrolled in the Test Series which was also very well researched, providing a plethora of questions for practice. Moreover, I could find many similar questions in the actual exam as well. Lastly, their interview guidance is exceptional. Nikhil sir is very approachable and keeps on motivating you to perform better.
I am highly indebted to Testonomics. It is their guidance and support that helped me crack the exam in my first attempt.
- Samridhi (Enrolled in Statistics and Econometrics Course, Microeconomics Course, English Essay Course, RBI DEPR Test Series and Free Interview Guidance Programme)
I enrolled with Testonomics in 2022 for the RBI DEPR Test Series, and since then, I have been its strong advocate. The Test Series has played a vital role in enhancing my speed and ensuring thorough coverage of all the topics. In addition to the quality of the Test Series, I have experienced excellent support from Nikhil, who has always been responsive and willing to engage in discussions when needed.
Overall, Testonomics has been a key factor in contributing to my success.
- Shreya Kansal (Enrolled in RBI DEPR 2023 Test Series and Free Interview Guidance Programme)
I joined Testonomics for Interview Guidance Program. The Mock Interviews and the discussions I had with Nikhil were very insightful. These interactions streamlined my preparation and gave me a fair idea of what to expect in the actual interview. Nikhil was always available in case of queries and that too with appropriate links and papers😅.
One of the standout features of this platform is the consistency maintained in the quality of content which is never compromised. As I reflect on my success in the RBI DEPR exam, I am deeply thankful to the platform for its invaluable contribution. Their guidance not only equipped me with the necessary skills but also instilled a sense of readiness and assurance as I approached the interview phase. My achievement stands as a testament to the platform's effectiveness and the impact it has on aspirants like myself.
- Sandeep Kaur (Enrolled in Free RBI DEPR Interview Guidance Programme)
This was my second attempt at RBI DEPR Exam and in my 2 years of preparation journey, I have checked out almost all Coaching Institutes and Test Series available for this exam. With my experience, I can say that Testonomics offers the best quality content among all !
I initially enrolled for the RBI DEPR Test Series with Testonomics and I was very happy with the quality and range of questions covered in it. The Test Series not only provided the solution to questions but also relevant links to quality content on that topic so that all aspects related to that topic can be covered.
Though the Test Series specifically mentioned that it was only for RBI DEPR Phase-1 Exam, Sir didn't leave me high and dry after Phase-1 and helped in every step ahead in this journey... be it taking initiative of providing Essay Course or providing free RBI DEPR Phase-2 Mock Tests with useful feedback for descriptive papers or Interview Guidance.
Each of Testonomics' initiatives made me appreciate more my decision of choosing Testonomics for my this attempt. I'm truly grateful to Nikhil Sir for his constant support and guidance throughout the journey.
- Swastik Yadav (Enrolled in RBI DEPR Test Series, English Essay Course and Free Interview Guidance Programme)
I enrolled with Testonomics initially to enhance my understanding of Statistics and Econometrics. I loved the Online Course and how everything was taught from very basics to advanced level, which is suitable for both Indian Economic Service Exam and RBI DEPR Exam. After seeing their exquisite content quality and commitment to serving students, I enrolled in Test Series for RBI DEPR Phase-1 Exam. The content was again amazing and it really helped me amp up my preparation. I am really thankful to Testonomics for providing content that allowed me to improve my concepts and meet the requirements of these exams.
PS : I got to know about my RBI DEPR selection from their message only ; so Testonomics was not only part of my journey but success too !
- Pallavi Pant (Enrolled in Statistics & Econometrics Course, RBI DEPR Test Series, English Essay Course and Free Interview Guidance Programme)
Testonomics really stands apart from other coaching institutes because of the personalized attention they give us and their sincerity in delivering the service in the best possible manner. Even though I joined the test series at a very late stage, I could benefit immensely from it. Nikhil Sir provided me guidance and conducted mocks for the RBI-DEPR interview, which helped in identifying the loopholes in my preparation. The suggestions he provided were useful for my Indian Economic Service interview too. I am sure that the Testonomics platform will be able to retain its uniqueness in the field of RBI DEPR Coaching and Mentoring.
- Vishnu K Venugopal (Enrolled in Statistics & Econometrics Course, RBI DEPR Test Series, English Essay Course and Free Interview Guidance Programme)
I joined interview guidance program of Testonomics for RBI Grade B DEPR. It was very helpful for me. After knowing that I am appearing for Indian Economic Service Interview as well, Nikhil sir accordingly asked me questions in Mocks Interview Sessions. The best part about Nikhil sir is his reachability. It can't be matched by others. I discussed about different dimensions of some questions during that period which was very helpful. Overall, it was a very good experience with Testonomics. I wish everyone all the best for their journey ahead for competitive exams.
- Nishchal Mittal (Enrolled in Free Interview Guidance Programme)
My journey for RBI Grade B DEPR began with Testonomics only and it is absolutely the best and the most reliable platform for DEPR preparation! All the courses and the test series are wonderfully curated and gave me conceptual clarity, strengthened my fundamentals and motivated me to learn from the basics. Test series for both phase 1 and phase 2 are unmatched as well as many questions in the exams were directly from there. I was constantly motivated to study and my writing skills were polished through these tests only. Their interview guidance programme was immensely supportive, insightful and encouraging as well. Overall I found their course highly informative, well organized and it had truly exceeded my expectations! Also, Nikhil Sir is an exceptional mentor who is very approachable and friendly and continued to give us immense encouragement through all the three phases. I am highly indebted to the wonderful team at Testonomics for this great experience and honestly, without them, I could not have cracked the exam in my first attempt itself.
- Amrita Basu (Enrolled in Statistics & Econometrics Course, Microeconomics Course, RBI DEPR Test Series, English Essay Course and Free Interview Guidance Programme)
In my opinion, Testonomics is the best platform for RBI DEPR and Indian Economic Service Exam preparation. The quality of the Online Courses and the Test Series is unmatched. It provided me with good conceptual understanding. Even RBI DEPR Phase- 2 Test Series questions had semblance with the actual exam. Together, it helped me crack RBI DEPR Exam in my first attempt. The best part is that the faculty is immensely supportive, encouraging and puts in all the efforts to see you succeed in this exam.
- Deepanshi Gilhotra (Enrolled in Statistics & Econometrics Course, RBI DEPR Test Series, English Essay Course and Free Interview Guidance Programme)
Testonomics’ Test Series for RBI DEPR 2022 Exam was well-researched and targeted for Phase-I of the Exam. It helped me build a good conceptual base, with different types of quantitative questions and provided a semblance of actual RBI DEPR Phase-I Exam. Moreover, Nikhil was easily approachable and available, which served as a positive aspect for me.
Testonomics Test Series for RBI DEPR Exam 2022 was very helpful throughout my preparation of the exam. The questions and their answers covered almost all important concepts of Economics.
- Mousumi Priyadarshini (Our RBI DEPR 2022 Test Series Student)
The Test Series of Testonomics is one of the best in the market. Honestly speaking, it helped me a lot in preparing for Phase-I of the RBI DEPR 2022 Exam. In fact, I could find a few direct questions in the actual exam, from this Test Series !
- Satyendra Kumar (Our RBI DEPR 2022 Test Series Student)
All the three Full-Length Tests in Testonomics Test Series for RBI DEPR Exam were quite close to the actual exam and had wide coverage. Not only did these Tests help me practice Numericals and Time Management, but they also gave me an understanding about the areas in which I was lagging and needed to improve. Even after Phase-1, Nikhil sir kept giving us great advice for Phase-2 and Interview as well.
- Aditi Mangal (Our RBI DEPR 2022 Test Series Student)
Testonomics provides by far the most comprehensive assistance there is for the RBI DEPR Exam. It has been instrumental in helping me practice extensively through in-depth coverage of concepts in their Test Series itself. The quality of content is unparalleled and motivates one to unlearn and relearn from the first principles. At the same time, the team provides ample strategies and strives to personally engage with its students to keep them motivated. I owe heaps to them.
The RBI DEPR Exam Test Series was very comprehensive and questions were well-researched. It provided me practice in both numerical and quantitative aspects (including New Topics) as well as Time Management. Nikhil Sir is one of the most approachable teachers and mentors. He lends a helping hand at each level (RBI DEPR Phase-I Exam, Phase-2 Exam and Interview Stage). He is a great motivator as well. I owe a big proportion of my success to him
