Economy: Current The “Current affairs” on economy, rests on four pillars #1: India Yearbook if you’re preparing for UPSC as well, you’d have India 2013 or India 2012 Yearbook. Do selective study of economyrelated Chapters from it. (List of topics, chapters and page numbers already given in separate article click me) if you’re not preparing for UPSC, then there is absolutely no needto specifically get India yearbook for the written exam of SBI. However use the India 2011 (free PDF given in Appendix). From that, prepare the specific topics as per above link (page numbers will be different, some topics may not be there.) Note: some information may be outdated in India 2011 but the basics of finance ministry, functions of its departments, functions of RBI, SEBI etc. remains one and same). #2: Economic Survey 2012-13 Economic survey is a document released by Government, just before budget. It gives you overall idea on how economy performed last year and what should be done for future. it is goldmine for current affairs related questions of Economy. Whatever (jholaachhap) magazines/books/material comes in the market during March-April flood period, they’re basically copypaste job from Economic survey data + Yearbook + Newspapers. So better use the original, unpollutedversion. Besides, if you’re only preparing for SBI (meaning you don’t have India 2013/12) then you must to go through Economic Survey to fillup the “gaps”. Economic Survey was released today (February-27-2013). Free download links given in the appendix of this article. While it looks very bulky and boring, but you don’t have to prepare every-line and word from it I’ll soon release a specific reading plan for Economic survey. Then you prepare the survey accordingly. But first, I gotta read the whole survey myself so it’d take some time hahaha. #3: Magazines By magazines, I mean competitive magazines like Pratiyogita Darpan, Civil Service times, Chronicle, Wizard etc. Any one is fine. Basically you’ve to do is following Go to local library (if you’re already buying these magazines for last 6-8-12 months, then no need to go to local library). Pratiyogita Darpan also gives free access to online magazine.But it doesn’t work well on slow speed internet, + they don’t allow you to save PDF = not very convenient. Concentrate on the only first 20-25 pagesof every month’s issue. Here they give you brief on national, international, science-tech, economy, +person in news/book/awards misc.GK. so you note down any important information that is worthy for MCQs. (without getting into minor details.) Remaining pages are filler pages: toppers’ interviews, recycled articles on polity, IR etc. not very important for SBI. (+time is less, so you can’t afford to read the whole magazine.) For SBI PO, you need to concentrate on Economy, International, Misc GK from Magazines only. You may ignore the science-tech part. (if you’re not preparing for UPSC / State PSC or SSC simultaneously.) You can also refer monthly current affairs on competitionmaster (if you don’t have any paper magazines, can’t goto library).
