Hey Fellas!

NABARD Grade A and B notifications for 2021 have been released. Therefore, I am going to discuss the age limit, educational qualification, number of seats, exam pattern, and syllabus in detail here. So, stick together with me till the time, I disclose everything about the exam.

I am going to unfurl the NABARD Grade A and B notifications for the general stream.

So, are you ready!!!

NABARD GRADE A:

A) The first criterion that we are going to talk about is the number of seats.

Total – 148 (including all streams and reservation categories)

B) Age Limit:

For General: 21–30 years as of 1st July 2021
For OBC: 33 years (3 years relaxation)

C) Educational Qualifications:

For General – 60% in Graduation; or 55% in Post-Graduation, or CA/CS/ICWA or Ph.D. certification with no minimum marks requirement.
For SC/ST/PWBD - 55% in Graduation; or 50% in Post-Graduation; or CA/ CS/ICWA OR Ph.D. from Institutions recognized by GOI/UGC, without any minimum marks.
There is no separate mention of OBC in the Educational Qualification criterion, therefore, it is assumed that the criterion of general category is mandated to be followed by OBCs as well.

Now, some Universities/Institutes do not award Classes or percentages of marks and allot Aggregate Grade Points (e.g. CGPA/OGPA/CPI, etc.). In those cases, the below-mentioned criteria will be followed for converting grade points into percentages.
