Exam admit cards — done; interview call letter next
The Phase I (13 Jun 2026) and Phase II (25 Jul 2026) admit cards were the ones that carried your exam venue. For General candidates on the interview list, the next document is the interview call letter, which comes by e-mail — RBI has not published interview dates.
Exam admit cards were available only for download from RBI’s website, together with the information handouts — nothing is sent by post. The interview call letter, with date, time and venue, is e-mailed to shortlisted candidates from noreply.samadhan@rbi.org.in. Keep the e-mail ID and mobile number in your application active and check your spam folder.
How exam centres are allotted
Phase I for the General cadre had centres in every state and UT; Phase II had a shorter list of cities, and the same shorter list served DEPR and DSIM for both phases. The Board can change centres and dates. You travel at your own risk and expense — the Board makes no boarding or lodging arrangements.
