Module B contains Business Mathematics which many people find difficult to study as the level of mathematics is tough, especially for people with non-engineering backgrounds. Those who work in the Credit/Loan Department will find that Module D is easy as well as interesting.

Module D is most important not only exam point of view but also for your daily work in the Credit Department. So do not skip Module D.

IMPORTANT TOPICS FROM EACH MODULE

Module A- Supply and Demand, Money Supply and Inflation, Business Cycles, GDP Concepts, and Union Budget.

No need to read the McMillan Book line by line for this module, short notes will be quite useful for studying this module. You also don’t need to read the stats given in these chapters. In the GDP Concepts and Union Budget chapters, numerals are asked which are quite easy, provided you know the components and formula.

OVERALL COVERAGE OF ABM MODULES TO PASS CAIIB 2023 

Overall, you will need to study at least 3 modules in detail so as to score 50 marks on ABM Paper. You can choose the modules to study more depending on your own strength. Different people do well in different exams & therefore, it won’t be right for me to tell you that you should skip one particular module.

I would only suggest that you keep module B at last, just read formulas from this module if you aren’t good at maths, as this module is quite boring, lengthy and hard to understand.
