Build strong command over Quant, Reasoning and English first. These sections are predictable and high-scoring when practiced regularly.

02 • Study Overlaps Smartly

Many topics in GA and ESI overlap. Study current economic issues and RBI publications deeply — they help in both phases.

03 • Prioritize High-Weightage Topics

Focus first on RBI-related current affairs, Indian Economy post-1991 reforms, Banking Awareness, and Organisational Behaviour.
