20 July 2025 About RBI Assistant Exams and CA students:

Eligibility:
Yes, a CA student—even at the final level or awaiting results—can appear for the RBI Assistant exam, as the eligibility criteria generally require a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university. There’s no bar specifically against CA students.
Is it beneficial?
It depends on your career goals:
For job security and steady government employment:
RBI Assistant is a great option. It offers a stable government job with decent pay, perks, and growth opportunities.
For CA career:
If your goal is to pursue CA practice, corporate finance, or related fields, RBI Assistant may not be the best use of your time. However, some CAs do prefer government jobs for stability.
Preparation overlap:
RBI Assistant exam includes sections like reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English, and general awareness. CA studies focus more on accounting, finance, and tax. So exam prep is quite different.
Final thought:
If you want to keep options open or desire a government job, going for RBI Assistant can be good. But if you want to focus on building a CA career, then maybe focus on CA articleship, final exams, or related roles.
