4-Week Preparation Plan (Till the December Exam)

Answer-writing tips: start with a one-line definition, use headings and bullet points, add a diagram (network layout, IR lifecycle) where it fits, link the answer to a banking scenario, and end with a short recommendation. Name the regulation (RBI, CERT-In, ISO 27001) when it applies: it shows the examiner you understand the banking context.
