RBI Assistant advertisement — released 16 Feb 2026
RBI published the advertisement for 650 Assistant posts (Panel Year 2025) on 16 February 2026. A corrigendum of 9 March 2026 extended the application deadline to 23:59 on 10 March 2026, and an edit window followed on 14–15 March. The online prelims were held on 11 and 13 April 2026 (30 April for candidates at Imphal and Kakching, after a curfew), the prelims result came on 25 May 2026, and the online main exam was scheduled for 7 June 2026, as announced by RBI. On 24 September 2026 RBI published the roll numbers provisionally shortlisted for the Language Proficiency Test (LPT); the Kanpur/Lucknow office result was to be “declared shortly”. LPT and final-result dates have not been announced.
Read the advertisement once, fully — it sets the age and qualification cut-off date (1 February 2026), the office-wise vacancies, the fee, the three stages of selection, the local language each office requires, and the pay. Then read the notices RBI has issued since: the corrigendum, the edit window, the Imphal/Kakching notices and the result notices.
