RBI Assistant 2026 key dates
RBI recruits Assistants through its own advertisement, office by office. The Panel Year 2025 advertisement fixed the application window and gave tentative exam dates; later notices extended the deadline, moved the prelims for two centres and announced each result.

Dates are from RBI’s advertisement of 16 February 2026 and its later notices on opportunities.rbi.org.in: the corrigendum of 9 March, the edit-window notice of 13 March, the Imphal/Kakching notices of 10 and 20 April, and the results of 25 May, 27 August and 24 September 2026. The advertisement gave the prelims and mains dates as tentative, and RBI reserves the right to change exam dates — always confirm on RBI’s website.
