Assessment Item Cover Sheet: Fill & Download for Free

Hi Vineeth.I could write you a book on this, but I am only going to give you the highlights. First of all, this is known as INFOSEC (Information Security). There are five classifications of INFOSEC. Compartmental Top Secret, Top Secret, Secret, Classified, and FOUO (For Official Use Only). Each has a certain level of security provided based on the sensitivity of the material and risk assessment based on how detrimental it would be to national and/or enterprize function and operation. Prior to SIPRNET, all materials, deemed to be sensitive in nature, had to follow stringent guidelines for handling, storage and dissemination. All sensitive materials were either stored in informational vaults, or compartmentalize vault facilities. Only certified/designated and vetted couriers were allowed to handle, transport, and deliver said items to designated locations, or persons, using certain “Class 3–6” certified containers to transport said items. All documents had big red cover sheets designating their level of secrecy. Once the courier turned the secret material over to the intended designee, the designee had to sign for the docs. Once the designee was finished, he/she had to also lock it in designated vaults at their sight, or have the courier transport the material back to the proper designated vaults. This is just the highlight of old school communication transfer. Lastly, everything was on a “Need to Know” basis. If you weren’t directly involved in a project or mission, than even seeing one of these documents laying out meant that you better look the other way. Also, if you DID see a document with the red cover sitting out, with no one around, you were to immediately secure it, get a hold of the nearest Information Security Manager, and immediately turn it over. Look up INFOSEC to learn more. Hope this helpsClaw

Hello Guys, I am Amit Punia and I have cleared RBI Grade B DR 2019. I am sharing my strategy which helped me to clear this exam.RBI Grade B exam consists of 3 phases: Phase 1 , Phase 2 and Interview.Phase 1 :Phase 1 is just an elimination round and hence is the toughest.200 marks which include: General Awareness (80 marks); English Language (30 marks) Quantitative Aptitude (30 marks) and Reasoning (60 Marks).The Key to clear Phase 1 is GA and Reasoning. To clear this phase, one should aim for atleast 130 marks (60 GA + 30 Reasoning + 20 each in Quant and English).GA:Sources: I covered this mainly from Affairscloud + newspaper + PIB. Attempted monthly GA quizzes on Gradeup which was very helpful.Making Notes : I used to make GA notes on daily basis and updated them regularly from monthly AC PDFs and mock tests. I preferred digital notes as it gives much more flexibility for editing. I have uploaded my GA notes for May-Aug 2020 on Google Drive https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-36ZOc--LZkoAcFqRFNjav42qfWtBHK7 which I made for NABARD 2020 mains preparation. Hope it helps. I prepared GA notes keeping in mind both phase 1 and 2.Reasoning: This is also a very important topic and should be prepared well. I followed Adda247 daily quizzes for Reasoning practice. I found them very useful from exam point of view. Since there was sectional cutoff this year, i preferred attempting questions other than Puzzles e.g. inequalities, blood relations, direction based questions, Assertion reason type questions so that I can clear sectional cutoff first. Then I attempted puzzles in remaining time.Quant: I didn’t prepare anything specifically for this section. I just attempted some daily quizzes on Adda247 before Phase 1.English: Didnt prepare for this section too. Questions were very basic in nature.Some tips:Go through memory based past papers of phase 1 to get a fair idea on the scope of questions asked in phase 1.Attempt as many mocks as you can. Try going for multiple platforms if possible (1–2 are generally free)Revision is the key to score high in GA.Dont start with solving Puzzles in Reasoning. Try to clear sectional cutoff first.Attempt as many questions as you can. Smart guesswork always benefits when negative marking is just 0.254–6 months GA is sufficient for phase 1 alongwith Budget, Economic survey,After phase 1, dont waste time in cutoff, result date speculations. Start revising Phase 2 notesMy score in Phase 1 was 147.5 (67.5 GA + 21.5 Reasoning + 28.75 English + 29.75 Quant).Phase 2:I had already covered Phase 2 syllabus (static topics) before the notification was published. I utilized the time between phase 1 and 2 only for revision (multiple times).ESI:For static topics like Growth & Development, Poverty, Environment, economic reforms I used Summary sheets freely available on every telegram group.For old Govt schemes, I found a pdf on Skidha’s blog. I converted it into word file and started updating it by going through operating guidelines (available on ministries’ website) for each scheme. New schemes were covered in detail alongwith GA preparation in same manner.I used PIB, newspaper (Indianexpress and LiveMint), Affairscloud to cover dynamic topics relevant to syllabus.I focused on social issues in detail (learned from my mistake in previous attempt) - Health , education, Women, Tribals and Social justice.covered Budget, Eco Survey, SECC, govt policies and major missions in depthSpecial focus was on Reports and indices related to UN Agencies, Govt, committees, Social issues, Multilateral organizations, NITI Aayog etc. (u can see from my GA notes how I categorized various reports).Finance:Sources: To cover static topics, I used free summary sheets. PIB, newspaper (Indianexpress and LiveMint), Affairscloud, RBI Website, reports of committees & working groups to cover dynamic topics relevant to syllabus. I used Investopedia as secondary source for better understanding of finance topics. Focused on news related to BIS, OECD, FATF, IMF , WB, ILO, AIIB, NDB, ISA.Management: I made topicwise handwritten notes for mgmt compiled from multiple sources. I followed Principles of Mgmt by PC Tripathi ; free summary sheets and Managementstudyguide.com . I focused on identifying “keywords” related to various theories, models etc which helped me a lot in answering confusing questions.Descriptive:I prepared 5–6 essay topics for this….collected fodder points for 10–12 potential topics…used internet for precis and letter writing formats. Used factual data collected during GA preparation to enrich my essay.Some tips for Phase 2:Memorize the entire syllabus to filter irrelevant factual GA while making notes for phase 2Go through previous year papers to get an idea on scope of questions asked in Phase 2. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wdw1KMLKBCSxV3jirDb6MWSoqv1fzyeW/view?usp=sharingComplete Phase 2 syllabus well in advanceRevise the entire syllabus atleast 2–3 timesAim to score atleast 220–230 in Phase 2 as interview stage is very unpredictable.Make a timetable to cover the syllabus and stick to it.Unfortunately, there is no good test series for Phase 2 . Nowadays, there are some telegram groups which are doing a great job by posting exam relevant MCQs. Some of them which I used for NABARD 2020 mains preparation are: https://t.me/Rbigradebquestionnaires ; https://t.me/RBI_MCQs ; https://t.me/MCQ_MCQ ;For management, focus on keywords to identify various theories and models. Confusing questions are asked every time e.g. career path, career ladder, Job description, Job specification, etcDont neglect Descriptive paper and give proper time to it also.Attempt as many questions as possible (m always bullish on attempting when negative marking is just 25%) , Obviously with smart guesses.Dont waste too much time on Telegram, whatsapp groups. Go there only to collect exam relevant material.Dont skip numericals in Finance portion. They have not been asking numericals for past 2 -3 years but that doesnt mean RBI wont surprise you in next exam.Cover PIB urself….dont rely on its compilations or any PDFs. Also, information on PIB is not always correct…so dont blindly follow it. PIB is very rich source for ESI preparation when Parliament is in session.Aim for atleast 70 in ESI and 85+ in FM.Exam can be cracked without buying any coaching course.Interview: I had almost 3 months to prepare for interview which i did in a very holistic manner. I wrote down hundreds of potential questions based on my profile, my previous job(SBI), recent events, RBI Functions, Banking and finance.The booklet titled Functions and Working of RBI published by RBSC is a must read for interview.I went through RBI Website, annual report, Monetary policy report, Financial stability report, latest speeches, reports of committees and made notes from them. Previous year transcripts were helpful in plugging the gap of topics which I would have missed for interview preparation. RBI monthly bulletin is also a good source but I skipped it.My interview revolved around the topics for which I had prepared, so there were no surprises for me. I answered almost every question asked. Gave 1–2 wrong answers too. However , I was not fully satisfied with my interview performance as I could have done better that day.Some tips:Never bluff during interview. Be humble and honest. Its okay to say Sorry if you dont know the answer.You must have a good justification for your education and career choices. Grilling happens when you cant defend your position.Be ready to give 2–3 minutes speech on any topic given by RBISB chairman. Although, I wasn’t asked to do so.Be calm and composite. Avoid unnecessary movement of hands or legs. keep your hands free from items like ID card, Pen etc.Be crisp in you answers. I feel board looks for specific keywords in an answer to assess you knowledge level. They prefer bookish definitions. They want you to converse like an economist and not a common man.Smile but dont laugh.Maintain a positive outlook in your answers.Believe in urselfThats it from my side. Please forgive me if you dont find this answer well structured or interesting. I will update more after my marksheet is available. Hope this answer will be helpful for aspirants. Feel free to ask your queries in comments if I missed something.Link to my notes:RBI Syllabus: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wdw1KMLKBCSxV3jirDb6MWSoqv1fzyeW/view?usp=sharingGA notes made for NABARD 2020 mains: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SAioMBY-jfaG_rdhUMsH6-ZX14sBQGoU/view?usp=sharingSept 2020: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LJCco7PueH3yWrJOAt9h-As6A7GyesrQ/view?usp=sharingGovt.

I use a derivation of the ADDIE model ADDIE stands for Analyze-Design-Develop-Implement-Evaluate.I start with a process called DACUM (Develop a Curriculum). It is a process that is taught by Dr. Robert Norton at The Ohio State University (although the process actually originated in Canada). Conducting a DACUM involves sitting down with the subject matter experts (usually the people that actually do the job that is being analyzed) and getting them to identify what they do. Specifically, we get them to identify the high level duties of their job and then for the duties, the tasks they have to perform to accomplish those duties.Here is an example of a DACUM for the generic responsibilities of a spaceflight systems instructor.Sometimes the tasks are rather complicated and we will break them down further into subtasks. At this point we have a good description of the job for which we will be identifying instruction.For each of those tasks and subtasks, we will identify the skills, knowledge, and attitudes (SKAs) needed to successfully and consistently complete those tasks/subtasks, in the job environment. To give an indication of scale, for the above DACUM worksheet, we identified 1080 unique SKAs.This completes the Analyze or “A” phase of ADDIE. We move onto the Design phase (the first D). Here we spend time studying the SKAs to determine how best to arrange and group them into a training flow. We consider things like content similarity, the best methodology or format to introduce and practice the SKAs, prerequisites that have to be learned before addressing any particular SKA, and the amount of time we estimate would need to be spent on an SKA. This is where a lot of the science of learning theory comes into play.From this effort we can sketch out a possible training flow for the material. We can identify modules, lessons, evaluations that might be needed. For each block of content, we will identify possible performance objectives and training items. A performance objective is a measurable statement that is student centered, which identifies what the student needs to be able to do at the end of the training. Training items are things that need to be covered in the training. Here’s an example breakdown that flows from a duty on down to training items.So, to read this graphic, in words it means - one of the duties of an instructor is to conduct formal instruction (teach lessons). That teaching may occur in several different facilities. One of those is the SSTF (Space Station Training Facility) - our big multi-system simulator. One of the subtasks that has to be completed in order to successfully teach in the SSTF is inputting system malfunctions that the simulation script requires. One of things someone has to learn in order to input malfunctions is how to implement a telemetry scale/bias. So, knowing that the person needs to be able to implement a telemetry scale/bias, what would I include in a lesson to teach that? I would define scale and bias to ensure the student understood the nuances between them and when to use one versus the other. I would describe how scale and bias fit into the equation of a line. I would demonstrate how to enter a scale and bias into the simulator console interface. I would also demonstrate how to safely deactivate a scale/bias. And, finally, being a nice guy, I would talk about common errors people make when using scale/bias so that my students could avoid the same mistakes. This paragraph has put me into the next phase - Develop.In this phase write the lesson plan. The lesson plan will identify all of the logistics of the training (how long it will take, what facilities/equipment are needed, how many students the lesson can handle, etc.) It will identify the performance objectives that will demonstrate successful completion of the training. It will identify the evaluation mechanism. And it will describe the details of execution.Once a good lesson plan is drafted, we begin the construction of lesson materials. These can include typical things like PowerPoint slides, lesson summary sheets, exercises and also include things like datastores for the simulator so that the simulator can be loaded into the correct configuration for the lesson.We then certify the lesson and the instructor. Essentially that means that management, technical SMEs (Subject Matter Experts), and instructional SMEs observe the lesson and agree it is a good product.Now we are ready to teach the lesson. That is the Implement phase.The final phase is Evaluate. It’s not really just the final phase, it intersects with each phase. In this phase we assess the quality of each thing we do. The part that comes after implement is the gathering of feedback from students that take the lesson, instructors that teach the lesson, and the bosses or customers of the students about whether the students are effective in performing the tasks, once they get back to the job environment. This feedback can send us back into any stage of the process to refine our work to improve the training.
