Applications closed on 28 Aug 2026
The CRP CSA-XVI application window opened on 1 August 2026 and, after IBPS extended it by a corrigendum dated 21 August, closed on 28 August 2026, with online fee payment over the same dates. The notification provides a 2-day edit window for corrections after registration closes, with the dates notified on ibps.in. Applications were accepted online only — no other mode.
Apply only on the official IBPS website. Decide the one state/UT you are applying for before you start — that choice can’t be changed later — and have a webcam or phone for the live photo, scans of your photograph, signature, left thumb impression and handwritten declaration, and your Class 10 certificate as a PDF ready, so you can finish in one sitting.
