the examinations. Candidates are advised to go through the updates put on the
IIBF website from time to time and go through Master Circulars/ Master Directions
issued by RBI and publications of IIBF like IIBF Vision, Bank Quest, etc. All these
sources are important from the examination point of view. Candidates are also to

asked.
Cut-off Date of Guidelines /Important Developments for Examinations
The Institute has a practice of asking questions in each exam about the recent
developments / guidelines issued by the regulator(s) in order to test if the candidates
keep themselves abreast of the current developments. However, there could be
changes in the developments / guidelines from the date the question papers are
prepared and the dates of the actual examinations.
In order to address these issues effectively, it has been decided that:
(i) In respect of the exams to be conducted by the Institute during May / June of a
calendar year, instructions / guidelines issued by the regulator(s) and important
developments in banking and finance up to 31st December of the previous year
will only be considered for the purpose of inclusion in the question papers".
(ii) In respect of the exams to be conducted by the Institute during November /
December of a calendar year, instructions / guidelines issued by the regulator(s)
