FAQs

Before you enrol.

Why are IES and RBI DEPR bundled together?

Students often prepare for both, and the economics core overlaps substantially. Bundling avoids duplicate teaching while adding separate IES and RBI practice layers.

Does the course include RBI objective practice?

Yes. RBI DEPR needs objective accuracy as well as descriptive writing, so the course includes Xaptiq-based testing and RBI-oriented practice.

Does the course cover IES Indian Economics?

Yes. Indian Economics is treated as a core IES requirement and is linked with RBI-relevant policy and current economy preparation.
