NABARD Grade 'A' Prelims Exam Details
The NABARD Grade 'A' preliminary exam is the first stage of the selection process for Assistant Managers. It is a **computer-based test** designed to screen candidates for the next stages of recruitment. The exam consists of **objective-type questions**, which means you will choose answers from given options.
Here are the important details about the preliminary exam:
| Exam Type | Objective (Multiple-choice questions) |
| Total Marks | **200 marks** |
| Time Limit | **120 minutes (2 hours)** |
| Sections | Reasoning Ability, English Language, Computer Knowledge, General Awareness, Decision Making, Quantitative Aptitude, Economic & Social Issues (with a focus on Rural India), Agriculture & Rural Development (with a focus on Rural India) |
Last year, a new section on **Decision Making** was added to the exam pattern, so candidates should prepare for this area as well. Remember, the preliminary exam is only **qualifying in nature**. This means your score in this phase will not be added to your final marks for selection. Its main purpose is to short-list candidates who will then appear for the main examination.
To prepare well, students should study the detailed syllabus for each section. Paying close attention to topics related to rural India, agriculture, and economic issues will be especially helpful. Solving previous year's question papers can give a good idea of the exam format and the kind of questions to expect. Make sure you are well-prepared for all sections to qualify for the next stage.
