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 !

- Selected Candidate , RBI DEPR 2023 Exam and Appeared for Interview, Indian Economic Service 2023 Exam

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.

- Selected Candidate , RBI DEPR 2023 Exam

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 !

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.

I am sure that the Testonomics platform will be able to retain its uniqueness in the field of RBI DEPR Coaching and Mentoring.

The RBI DEPR Exam eligibility criteria, RBI DEPR Exam Syllabus, Exam Pattern, etc. will be known only after the official notification is released for the RBI DEPR 2025 Exam. However, we can “estimate” the tentative details based on previous years notification.

A Indian citizen from unreserved / EWS category is eligible for RBI DEPR Exam if she / he is less than 30 Years of Age , Possess the Minimum Educational Qualification with at least 55% Marks in the aggregate. Usual relaxations apply for candidates from OBC / SC / ST category. Age relaxations also apply for candidates with M.Phil / PhD Degree. You can read the detailed RBI DEPR Eligibility conditions here

Candidates should prepare the detailed RBI DEPR Exam Syllabus for cracking the exam in the next attempt.

The RBI DEPR Exam process is divided into 2 Phases and 4 Papers (2 papers at Phase-1 and 2 Papers at Phase-2), each of 100 marks and 2 hours duration. At Phase-1, candidates have to answer an objective paper on Economics and an English (descriptive) paper.

If your preparation of UPSC Indian Economic Service Exam syllabus is sound, then you can begin attempting the RBI DEPR Mock Tests to familiarise yourself with the RBI DEPR Exam Pattern and the kind of questions being asked at RBI DEPR Exam in recent years.

The UPSC CSE Economics Optional Syllabus and Exam Pattern places much lesser weightage on numerical-based questions, including those from Statistics & Econometrics ! In contrast, for RBI DEPR Exam, numericals form an important part of syllabus and exam pattern.

Hence, you should prepare Mathematical Economics, Statistics and Econometrics in addition to UPSC CSE Economics Optional Syllabus. In case you need assistance in preparing any subject from the RBI DEPR Exam Syllabus, remember that Testonomics provides the best online course and Mock Tests for RBI DEPR Exam.

After preparing the RBI DEPR Exam Syllabus, you can begin attempting the RBI DEPR Mock Tests to familiarise yourself with the RBI DEPR Exam Pattern and the kind of questions being asked at RBI DEPR Exam in recent years.
