Strategy to score highest in the Management section of Phase 2 FM Paper.

1. Cover the Syllabus diligently without skipping any part of the syllabus.

2. Some parts are highlighted in red which are the most important w.r.t previous year papers. (still, complete syllabus coverage is a must)

3. Attempt as many mocks as you can. ( It helps in the revision of topics ) (we also provide free mocks on subhyug.in)

4. Management in FM Paper of RBI Grade B exam constitutes roughly about 45-50 Marks. Hence, one should not neglect the Finance Section completely.

5. Management is the easiest of all sections if studied well.

6. Do not forget to revise the theories ( Motivation, Nudge, Ethics theories, etc.)

7. Ethics Constitute around 40-50% of the management section.

8. Make Sure the Management Section is well prepared before Phase 1.

9. If Point 8 is not followed then it can (read as must) be done as soon as phase 1 results are out.

10. Revision is King. Hope you understood.
