Guys you will find more people migrating from RBI to IRS because of 2 reasons- 1. Candidates on an average spend more time preparing for UPSC. They develop soft corner for it and it is our human nature. You will obviously find IRS more fruitful because you have yearned for it more. But this is only the case with the candidates who have cracked IRS and Grade B simultaneously. Such candidates in 90% of the cases will join IRS. Now comes someone who has worked 1-2 years as a grade B officer and cracks UPSC with a good enough rank to get IRS. In such cases 90% of the people will prefer RBI(i know few of them) because now they are fully aware about the future prospects of RBI and hence can make an informed decision 2. RBI Grade B is highly underrated. Even on a forum like this, people hardly have complete knowledge about it. And this is also evident from the fact that every year only 1.25 lakh candidates sit for this examination. Once the awareness about it will increase, the mind set of the people will change. As someone who has received interview calls for both the positions (UPSC and RBI), this was my personal opinion and I will definitely prefer RBI over IRS, if I am able to convert both (fingers crossed) And because this is totally a subjective call, this will be my last comment...Best of luck everyone \m/

Nicely put man..
All the best with both the interviews and results.. May you get what you desire..
Friends, I understand you all have starched the discussion on the subject too long. Both the position are fiercely fought exam, and only limited get opportunities to serve country. There is candidate in the rank of 500+ in Civil Service Exam has joined Civil Service leaving RBI Gr. B posting after one year. May be some will not leave RBI Gr. B job until and unless he become IAS, not more not less. Some in the two digit Civil Service Rank will be happy to join IRS leaving IPS/ IFS job etc. So these are subjective discussion, however there is lot of objectivity to support for RBI or IRS etc. Ultimately these are personal choice based on individual understanding of jobs. However if you make good sample survey you may find eight out of Ten will make choice IRS to RBI Gr. B job. There is lot of support for each position and you need make a good effort to realize the choice. So first complete both the exam and make your choice of your interest. Both are adding to the GDP to this country. Good luck .

@rockstar123 : Bhai this is a forum for UPSC aspirants...u will definitely get answers tilted towards IRS...post same question on some RBI forum and you will hear RBI>>IRS...well both posts are good. My friend working in RBI told me that 7 people cleared UPSC in his batch, but only 4 joined. And among the people who preferred RBI, one had good enough rank to get even IPS. This is the truth. RBI definitely pays more than IRS. You have excellent promotional aspects in RBI (even if you join at the age of 26-27, you have a chance to become Deputy Governor). RBI recruits from top IIMs every year and IIM graduates consider it a dream job. So according to me, if you get grade B this year, you should stick with it, unless you become an IAS officer. Good luck
Please name the IPS alloted guy who didnt join. It's shocking. And I wont believe untill I can confirm from DoPT website. ;-)
IIM grads dont join on the same position as RBI grade B. It's like saying IIM grads joins TCS as well, so an engineer in TCS should be happy. Not an appropriate arguement.
RBI grade B can be considered a 13 Lakh package. Which is slightly more than IRS. But 7th Pay commission will bridge this in a year ir two.
Lastly, RBI isnt a govt job in strict sense. You are not a Central govt employee, hence not coveref under 7PC. It's like comparing a PSU job to IRS. PSU jobs will pay more at managerial level for sure
Ultimately, it boils down to what interestes do you have.
@JonSnow I won't agree that IIM grads dont join on the same position as RBI grade B. It's like saying IIM grads joins TCS as well, so an engineer in TCS should be happy. Not an appropriate argument. I know many people from Top 5 - IIMABC, XLRI, FMS who joined RBI from campus ( it used to coveted job be till RBI used to hire from campus nowadays it has stopped recruiting as PILs started pouring in over direct recruitment ) It was coveted job can't be compared with an engineer in TCS at all. It gives exposure to work in largest banker in India than one which drives Indian Macroeconomies
IRS is more prestigious thanks to being a consolation prize for IAS exam but that doesn't takes away the shine of RBI job and this being UPSC preparation people will have high regards for IRS
In fact there are many Govt jobs which in my views are if not better than equal to IRS including the jobs in State Govt
You didnt get my point at all. I dont think IIM grades used to join at the same position with the same job profile.
You dont think IIM grads used to join RBI at Grade B level?? Oh lord, I am astonished at the confidence you have to debate at something which you are totally ignorant about... *Applause*.

I am a Grade B in RBI and jst to clear the air, even IAAS over Grade B. However, RBI is quite friendly towards Civils aspirants, so one may continue preparation while being in service.

1. Candidates on an average spend more time preparing for UPSC. They develop soft corner for it and it is our human nature. You will obviously find IRS more fruitful because you have yearned for it more. But this is only the case with the candidates who have cracked IRS and Grade B simultaneously.

In such cases 90% of the people will prefer RBI(i know few of them) because now they are fully aware about the future prospects of RBI and hence can make an informed decision
2. RBI Grade B is highly underrated. Even on a forum like this, people hardly have complete knowledge about it. And this is also evident from the fact that every year only 1.25 lakh candidates sit for this examination. Once the awareness about it will increase, the mind set of the people will change.
As someone who has received interview calls for both the positions (UPSC and RBI), this was my personal opinion and I will definitely prefer RBI over IRS, if I am able to convert both (fingers crossed)
And because this is totally a subjective call, this will be my last comment...Best of luck everyone \m/
All the best with both the interviews and results..
So first complete both the exam and make your choice of your interest. Both are adding to the GDP to this country. Good luck .
BTW @JonSnow is correct that IIM people who got RBI offers from campus joined at Grade B
coming to your comparison It all depends what you want from life
nowadays people are leaving IAS to launch a start-up
what will you say on it
Jon Snow said that IIM grads did not join at Grade B level... And I was the one who pointed out that they did join at Grade B level..
Maybe you didnt read the thread properly.. :P
