The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has launched a quiz for college students as part of celebrations marking 90 years of the central bank’s operations.
RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das launched the online platform for RBI90Quiz on August 20. Das expressed his belief that the quiz would enhance awareness about the Reserve Bank and the financial ecosystem among students.
RBI90Quiz is a multi-level competition that begins with an online phase and progresses through state and zonal rounds before culminating in a national final. The contest will focus on general knowledge, with an emphasis on financial literacy and awareness.
“The RBI has been encouraging youth to cultivate responsible financial behaviour and develop the habit of safe use of digital financial products through its public awareness campaigns,” Das said.
The contest will offer prizes for the winners at several levels:
National Final: First prize is Rs 10 lakh followed by second prize of Rs 8 lakh and third prize of Rs 6 lakh.
Zonal Level: First prize is Rs 5 lakh, followed by second prize of Rs 4 lakh and third prize of Rs 3 lakh.
State Level: The first prize of Rs 2 lakh is followed by the second prize of Rs 1.5 lakh and the third prize of Rs 1 lakh.
Registrations for the RBI90Quiz contest are now open and the contest is scheduled to start in September 2024. Interested candidates can register via https://www.rbi90quiz.in/. Participation in the contest is free of cost.
The quiz will consist of multiple choice questions on a variety of topics, including general knowledge areas like current affairs, history, literature, sports, economics, finance and trivia. In addition, there will be some questions specifically related to the RBI.
