The RBI Grade B exam is for recruitment to the Reserve Bank of India, and it typically consists of three phases: Phase 1, Phase 2, and an Interview. The Phase 1 exam typically covers topics such as general awareness, Quantitative Aptitude and English language. The AAI ATC exam is for recruitment to the Airports Authority of India, and it typically covers topics such as general awareness, Quantitative Aptitude reasoning, and English language. The pattern of the AAI ATC exam may be different than that of the RBI Grade B Phase 1. While some of the topics covered in the two exams may be similar, the level of difficulty and the format of the questions may be different. Additionally, the AAI ATC exam will have some questions related to air traffic control and aviation subjects which are not covered in RBI Grade B exam. It's worth noting that the RBI Grade B Phase 2 exam will have different subjects than Phase 1, so you will need to prepare for those separately. So it's better to check the syllabus, pattern of the exam and the type of questions from the official website of the respective exam.
