How accurate our answers are

We keep 50 real banker questions. Each one has a right answer and a right paragraph in a Reserve Bank document. A machine asks our answer engine all 50 questions and marks each reply. A reply is right only if it names the right document and carries the right facts. Every rule we quote is read from rbi.org.in.

This page shows the last reading, the day it was taken, and all 50 questions. Nothing here is typed by hand.

There is no full score yet

The last reading was taken on 18 September 2026, 7:45 am IST.

The answer engine could not be reached for 25 of the 50 questions that run.

A question that never reached the engine tells us nothing about the quality of an answer.

So we do not turn a part reading into a score. We wait for a run that reaches every question.

The 25 questions that were read are marked below, with the day each one was read.
