Applications closed on 21 Jul 2026
The CRP SPL-XVI application window ran from 1 to 21 July 2026 on ibps.in, with online fee payment over the same dates. After registration closed, IBPS offered a 2-day edit window for corrections. Applications were accepted online only, and each candidate could apply for just one of the six posts.
Applications were made only on the official IBPS website. Keep in mind for the next cycle: 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, so you can finish in one sitting.
