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 21 October 2026, 6:51 am IST.

The answer engine could not be reached for 50 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 0 questions that were read are marked below, with the day each one was read.

A machine asks all 50 questions every 12 hours. If the last reading is more than 26 hours old, this page says so above, because a reading that is not being taken is not a reading.

How a reply is marked

  • Right
    The reply answered, named the right document and carried the right facts.
  • Wrong
    The reply answered, but missed the document or missed the facts.
  • Not read
    The answer engine could not be reached, so nothing was marked.

The questions we test on

Written on 15 September 2026. The set is fixed, so a score on one day can be compared with a score on another.
