There are 56 rural banks across all the major states of India & qualifying in IBPS RRB CWE III is necessary to apply for Office assistant & Officer (scale I, II, III) vacancies.

The institute is to conduct an online written test for these positions in the month of September 2015.The exact dates would be announced later.

Here is a review of 2 guides that help you choose the best books to prepare for IBPS RRB CWE: 

 

For IBPS RRB Office Assistant:

This book published by Disha Publication is specifically designed as per the IBPS RRB office assistant exam pattern.

 

With 350+ pages it covers all the test sections such as Reasoning, General Awareness, Numerical ability, Computer knowledge & English language.

 

The book also has dedicated section for General awareness that provides information on current affairs that include national/ international events, awards, sports etc.,

 

Added to this, they have allotted good number of pages on commercial trade since this is a banking exam. 

 

Though the explanations are crisp & defined clearly, we felt there could have been more practice questions for candidates to try.

 

Overall, the book touches upon the necessary subjects for IBPS RRB common exam & will act as a good reference to start.A practice CD is also provided that contains 3 mock tests.

 

 

For IBPS RRB Officers Scale (I,II,III):

This is yet another product from the house of Arihant publications for RRB officers exam.

Unlike the assistants guide mentioned above, this is a bigger book & hence you are  presented with very detailed descriptions on more topics. 

The contents page is neatly categorized into parts with list of topics dealt.

This book is also useful for scale II specialist cadre applicants (IT officer,CA, Law officer, Agri.officer, marketing officer etc).There are separate materials for these professional knowledge parts as well.

Reasoning & Quantitative aptitude occupy a major part of this book.Hence they have suggested some of the shortest ways to interpret a question.

For example, In Time & Distance problems explanations on the basic rules & formula to use while solving them are provided. 

Similarly, the English language section is also well packed with commonly asked topics such as error spotting, sentence formation, comprehension, synonyms & antonyms etc.,

All those who feel they are weak in english shall find this book`s approach useful as they demonstrate the correct method of coming to an answer.

 
The book also has previous year solved question paper, so you can look at it to know the ibps rrb syllabus.

We recommend buying the book for its detailed lessons on every subject that form part of the common examination.
