NABARD Grade A Phase 1 Mock Test 2026: Full Online Practice Test
NABARD Grade A Phase 1 is not only a normal banking aptitude test. Reasoning, English, Computer, Quant and Decision Making matter for qualifying, while General Awareness, Economic and Social Issues, and Agriculture and Rural Development form the main merit block. This full mock brings all eight sections into one 200-question practice test.
Quick answer: when is NABARD Grade A Phase 1 2026?
As of 10 August 2026, NABARD's official career notices do not show a fresh Grade A 2026 recruitment notification or Phase-I exam date. The latest Grade A recruitment notice available on the official careers page is for the 2025 cycle. Therefore the next exam date and exact days remaining are shown as TBA instead of using an unverified date.
Why This NABARD Grade A Phase 1 Mock Is Different
Students often prepare NABARD like Bank PO and spend most of the day on puzzles and arithmetic. That creates a problem because NABARD Phase 1 also asks Computer Knowledge, Decision Making, General Awareness, ESI and ARD. More importantly, GA, ESI and ARD are the sections that make your preparation look truly NABARD-oriented.
This mock contains 200 original practice questions and follows the latest available eight-section structure. It also shows a separate merit score for GA + ESI + ARD so you can see whether your rural economy and agriculture preparation is actually strong.

120-Day NABARD Grade A Roadmap From Zero to Full Mocks
Since the next Phase-I date is not officially announced, you can use the gap to prepare Phase 1 and Phase 2 together. This is better than waiting for the notification and then trying to finish ESI and ARD in a hurry.
Build the Base
Read the latest pattern, start Reasoning and Quant basics, make ESI and ARD notebooks, and begin 30 minutes of current affairs daily.
Finish Core ESI and ARD
Cover economy, poverty, inclusion, agriculture basics, soil, irrigation, crops, livestock and rural institutions. Add schemes to every topic.
Reports, MCQs and Writing
Add NABARD updates, Budget and survey notes, topic-wise MCQs, Computer and Decision Making revision, and start Phase 2 descriptive practice.
Full Mock Mode
Attempt full Phase 1 mocks, analyse merit score separately, revise weak ESI-ARD areas and maintain a short error notebook for the final cycle.
Useful NABARD Grade A Resources on SahilDubey.com
If one part of the mock is weak, use one focused resource and then return to practice. This keeps the preparation human, simple and less confusing.
How to Analyse Your NABARD Phase 1 Mock Score
Do not look only at the 200-mark total. First check whether your qualifying sections are safe and then look at the 100-mark merit block. A high aptitude score cannot fully compensate for weak ESI, ARD and General Awareness preparation when those sections decide the merit side of Phase 1.
NABARD Grade A Phase 1 Mock Test 2026 FAQs
When is NABARD Grade A Phase 1 2026?
As of 10 August 2026, a fresh NABARD Grade A 2026 Phase-I exam date is not officially listed on NABARD's career notices page. The next date should be added only after the official recruitment notification.
How many questions are there in this mock?
This full practice test contains 200 questions across all eight Phase-I sections.
Which sections count for merit in Phase 1?
In the latest available structure, General Awareness, Economic and Social Issues, and Agriculture and Rural Development form the merit block. The other five sections are qualifying.
What is the total time for NABARD Grade A Phase 1?
The latest available structure uses a composite 120-minute duration for the 200-mark objective test.
Is there negative marking?
This simulator applies a 0.25 mark penalty for a wrong answer and no penalty for an unanswered question, matching the quarter-mark style used in recent Grade A objective tests.
Should I prepare Phase 2 before Phase 1?
Yes. ESI and ARD overlap strongly with Phase 2, and descriptive writing needs time. Starting both phases together reduces pressure after the Phase-I result.
Is this an official NABARD paper?
No. It is an original preparation mock based on the latest available Phase-I structure. The new official notification remains the final source for any changed rule.
Official Source and Update Note
The exam-date status and latest available recruitment-cycle check were verified from NABARD's official Career Notices page. The 200-mark, eight-section mock structure is based on the latest available Grade A Phase-I pattern and should be rechecked when the fresh 2026 Grade A notification is published.
