How to Score 35+ out of 45 in CAIIB Multi-Question Case Studies
Every 5-question CAIIB case study follows a sequential chain: Q1 tests the intermediate base figure (e.g., Working Capital Gap or Credit RWA), Q2 & Q3 apply the primary formula (Method I vs Method II MPBF, or CET1 vs Total CRAR), and Q4 & Q5 test an RBI circular exception (Export Receivable exemption, Negative Gross Income year exclusion in BIA, or ECGC guarantee deduction in Doubtful NPAs). Getting Q1 right unlocks all 10 marks!
