The starting in-hand salary of RBI Grade B DEPR officers is more than ₹1 lakh per month. The CTC turns out to be around Rs. 25-30 lakh per annum. The detailed description of RBI DEPR Officers Salary and Perquisites is given here

We can attempt to “estimate”  the RBI DEPR 2025 exam date based on RBI DEPR Notification / Exam Dates in the previous years. In 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the RBI DEPR Notification had been released on 25 July 2024, 09 May 2023, 28 March 2022 and 28 January 2021. The RBI DEPR Phase-1 Exam Dates were 14 September 2024, 16 July 2023, 02 July 2022 and 06 March 2021.

Accordingly, the RBI DEPR Exam 2025 exam is expected to be held in the second-half of 2025. The RBI DEPR Exam notification may be released around 2 months before the scheduled RBI DEPR 2025 Phase-1 exam.

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

RBI DEPR Eligibility includes A Master’s Degree in Finance (or any other master’s degree where “Finance” is the principal constituent* of the curriculum / syllabus, namely MA / MSc in Quantitative Finance, Mathematical Finance, Quantitative Techniques, International Finance, Business Finance, Banking and Trade Finance, International and Trade Finance, Project and Infrastructure Finance, Agri Business Finance).  “Principal constituent” with respect to syllabus / curriculum means half or more of the total courses / electives / credits must be in Economics or Finance.

To be eligible for the RBI DEPR Exam, you should have completed (result should have been declared) the minimum educational qualification before the cut-off date specified by RBI in the RBI DEPR Official Recruitment Notification of that year.

RBI DEPR Phase-1 Exam Syllabus includes Master’s level topics covered under Basic Statistics, Econometrics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Indian Economy. For RBI DEPR Phase-2 Examination, candidates have to cover the same subjects from the point of view of a descriptive examination.

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.

The candidates who qualify RBI DEPR Phase-1 Exam will have to appear for Phase-2. At RBI DEPR Phase-2 Exam, candidates will be tested in 2 Descriptive Papers : (i) Microeconomics and Macroeconomics (ii) Quantitative Economics and Indian Economy.

The candidates who qualify RBI DEPR Phase-2 will be shortlisted to appear for an interview before the RBI Services Board.

The final selection / merit list will be prepared on the basis of marks scored by candidates at RBI DEPR Phase-1 Exam (Max Marks: 200), RBI DEPR Phase-2 (Max Marks: 200) Exam and Interview (Max Max: 75).

For the RBI DEPR Exam, most candidates find the Statistics and Econometrics subject more challenging than the other subjects. You may be happy to know that Testonomics offers the best coaching for RBI DEPR Statistics and Econometrics subject

The RBI DEPR Exam differs to a great extent from the Delhi School of Economics M.A. Economics / M.Phil Economics / PhD Economics Entrance Examinations. In particular, the RBI DEPR Exam is relatively less difficult. Also, RBI DEPR Exam contains 3 descriptive papers as well.

For a candidate starting from scratch, a dedicated preparation of 6 months is recommended before appearing for the RBI DEPR Examination.

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.
