Previous Year Question Patterns
| Year | Marks | Question Summary | Sub-topic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 5 | RBI's interest rate policy and its impact on economic growth | Monetary Policy |
| 2023 | 2 | What is RBI's inflation targeting framework? | MPC & Inflation Target |
Pattern Observations:
- Topic 28 has been asked rarely but questions were conceptual, not data-heavy
- For 2026 (no 2-mark questions), expect 5-mark questions on: MPC composition, repo rate definition, CRR vs SLR, NPA resolution, IBC 2016
- Potential 10-mark question: "Discuss the evolution of banking reforms in India post-1991" or "Explain the monetary policy framework under MPC"
- Fresh angles for 2026: Digital Rupee CBDC, UPI 123Pay, PSB mergers, IBC performance, forex reserves
