In the Mains examination, descriptive-type questions are asked from general English, Economics and Social Issues, and Agricultural and Rural Development. Also, there is a provision for negative markings as 0.25 marks are deducted for each wrong answer.

Every year, NABARD releases a notification for the recruitment of Grade A officer posts, after which an online application is invited from interested candidates. It is anticipated that the upcoming notification will be released between the months of July and August.
