Overview — What Phase-I Result Means for DEPR
DEPR (Department of Economic and Policy Research) is a specialised Grade B Direct Recruitment cadre. Phase-I is a screening stage: clearing it moves you to Phase-II, but Phase-I marks are not added to final merit under the usual Grade B scheme.
Soft note: Only 10 DEPR seats were notified for this panel year. Competition after Phase-I remains intense — treat shortlisting as a call to prepare for a same-day two-shift Phase-II, not as a job offer.
DEPR focuses on economics and policy research skills. Phase-II papers and later interview rounds typically probe analytical writing, applied economics / finance concepts, and clarity of expression — far beyond Phase-I screening. Soft note: use the weeks after 30 June 2026 to practise descriptive answers under timed conditions and to re-read the information handout once RBI releases it with the admit card.
Also remember that Grade B has multiple cadres in the wider recruitment ecosystem. Soft note: opening a General or DSIM PDF by mistake is a common error on result day — confirm the filename / heading says DEPR before you celebrate or panic.

Cut-Off & Merit — Soft Explanation
Phase-I cut-offs for Grade B streams are set to shortlist a manageable number of candidates for Phase-II relative to vacancies and exam performance. Soft note: do not invent numeric cut-offs if RBISB has not printed them in an official notice or scorecard. Category-wise thresholds (where applicable) appear only in RBI’s own disclosures.
Final merit for Grade B typically uses Phase-II + Interview (Phase-I excluded). Clearing Phase-I therefore does not lock a rank for final selection — Phase-II descriptive/objective performance matters far more for DEPR outcomes.
