The bank will be organising a nation-wide quiz for college students pursuing undergraduate courses across all streams. RBI aims at generating engagement with the student community as part of the 90 years celebration. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has released a notification directing all Higher Education Institutions to disseminate this information in their respective institutions and also encourage the undergraduate students to participate in the quiz.
Students pursuing graduate courses in recognised colleges across the country are eligible to apply in the quiz competition. The quiz competition will have General Knowledge questions from history, economy, current affairs etc along with some questions related to RBI.
