 NABARD few days back had issued recruitment notification 2011 for 162 Development Assistants including 5 Pharmacists, details of which can be found in my previous blog post titled: NABARD Recruitment 2011: Notification, Eligibility & Forms. While that article tells you how to apply for these positions, the focus of this particular blog post is on how to prepare for NABARD DA (Development Assistant) Exam by first telling you what is the Exam pattern and than give you the study materials: sample papers and preparatory books for NABARD DA Exam.
NABARD DA exam pattern:
Selection process for Development Assistants in NABARD consists of two stages: 250 mark written test followed by interview. The written test consists of two papers - Paper-I (Objective) & Paper-II (Descriptive).
NABARD written test pattern Paper-I (Objective) :  i) General Intelligence ii) Test of English Language iii) Test of Numerical Ability iv) Test of Clerical and Computer Aptitude. Each of above section has 50 questions, each question worth 1 mark. Thus the Paper-I (Objective tests) consists of 200 questions carrying 200 marks which has to be answered in total 95 Minutes Duration. There is -ve marking: 0.25 marks will be deducted for each wrong answer. So make your guesses wisely!
NABARD written test pattern Paper-II (Descriptive) : Paper II is again a test of General English for testing analytical and drafting ability of a candidate through precise/ letter/ report writing etc. There are 3 compulsory questions worth 50 marks to be answered in 60 minutes.
As you can see, this NABARD exam pattern is exactly similar to pattern of bank clerical exam, with same test sections and same distribution of marks. Hence you can use the sample papers of bank clerical exams for preparation of NABARD DA (Development Assistant) Exam.
Online sample/model/mock-test papers for NABARD DA Exam: Your first study material for the NABARD DA Exam should be the online papers available in various websites. Since you may be having limited time, I searched in the net to find these free online papers for the Bank Clerical exam. Although these papers are not exclusive to NABARD DA (Development Assistant) Exam, I think you would find the materials useful. I found that Competition Master is an excellent resource which has good collection of online papers for these exams: NABARD DA Exam Sample Paper: Test of Reasoning
NABARD DA Exam Sample Paper: Numerical Ability
NABARD DA Exam Sample Paper: Test of English`
NABARD DA Exam Sample Paper:
Clerical Aptitude tests your ability to notice similarities and differences between pairs of names and numbers. Questions asked also assesses ability to handle office routine work, like filing, abbreviating, indexing etc. Following links should help you prepare for it: Psytech

NABARD DA Exam Sample Paper:

Allexam: It gives 25 SBI Bank Clerk GK model questions with answers. Upscportal: It gives you 20 Allahabad Bank model questions. Upscportal: General Awareness sample Question Paper 2008: 40 Q Edutalkindia: Numerical Ability/Maths samle Paper: 40 Q
Books for NABARD DA Exam: While the above on-line exam papers should be treated as eye-openers, you need to lay more emphasis on the preparatory books. I found following list of books available on the net.  You can buy any of the books, as the clerical exam pattern is similar in all of the Public sector industries. These books are available in most of the bookstores, but you can also order them online by clicking the links below, from Flipkart.com which offers hugediscounts from 10% to 20%, apart from free shipping/postage in India if the order exceeds Rs. 100/=. You can choose to pay through Credit Card/Debit Card/Internet Banking. You can also choose to pay through “Cash-on-Delivery” i.e. you pay in cash only when the same is delivered at your doorstep:

List Price: Rs. 315 Offer Price:Rs. 293 Discount: Rs. 22 (7%)
List Price: Rs. 240 Offer Price Rs. 228 Discount: Rs. 12 (5%)
With above, I am confident that you would be able to qualify in the NABARD DA (Development Assistant) Exam. But how should you prepare for the Interview? Prep material for Interview of NABARD DA Exam:For Interview, click here to visit this article, which tells you what are the requirements an interviewer looks for in you. It also gives you an interesting YouTube video telling you how you can also analyze an interviewer and hence be prepared for it.

New India Assurance Exam Pattern:
The selection process for the Admin Officers in New India Assurance consists of a Written test (Objective & Descriptive questions) followed by Interview for those selected in the Written exam.
The Written exam consists of following four papers for Admin Officer (Generalists):
(i) Test of Reasoning
(ii) Test of English Language
(iii) Test of General Awareness
(iv) Numerical Ability/Data Interpretation Test
For Admin Officer Specialists (IT, Actuary, Accounts/CA), there is an additional paper (subject-specific) for “Professional Knowledge” in addition to above four papers.
In addition to above Objective test papers, there would also be a Test in English (Descriptive) consisting of Precis Writing, Comprehension and Essay.
On the basis of performance in written examination, candidates will be called for Personal Interview (PI). The final merit list will be made on overall performance in written examination and PI.
Besides above information, New India Assurance notification does not tells you anything more – like number of questions in each paper, marks per question or duration.
But however, exam pattern for New India Assurance Admin Officers exam is very similar to that of the LIC Asst. Admin Officers exam, as you can from my previous blog post titled: LIC AAO Exam Pattern, Sample papers & Books. Also the exam is very similar to the Bank PO exams. Hence you can use the study materials of these two types of exam for the New India Assurance Admin Officers exam too.
