The IBPS PO (Probationary Officer) exam and the RBI Grade B exam are both prestigious banking exams in India, but RBI Grade B is considered more challenging compared to IBPS PO. The IBPS PO exam primarily focuses on banking operations, reasoning, quantitative aptitude, and English language, whereas the RBI Grade B exam involves economics, finance, and social issues, along with general awareness and English writing skills. The RBI Grade B exam syllabus is more extensive and requires a deeper understanding of macroeconomics, monetary policy, and financial management, making it tougher for candidates from a non-economics background. Moreover, the selection process for RBI Grade B is more rigorous, with three phases (Prelims, Mains, and Interview), while IBPS PO consists of two phases (Prelims and Mains) followed by an interview. Additionally, the RBI Grade B exam has fewer vacancies and attracts highly qualified candidates, increasing the competition. Hence, RBI Grade B is considered tougher in terms of syllabus, competition level, and the depth of knowledge required, while IBPS PO is relatively easier and more focused on banking-related aptitude.
