RBI Grade B 2026 advertisement — released 29 Apr 2026
The RBI Services Board published advertisement RBISB/DA/01/2026-27 on rbi.org.in and opportunities.rbi.org.in. Online registration and payment of the fee ran from 29 April to 20 May 2026 (till 6 PM), and a two-day edit window followed on 25–26 May. For the General cadre, Phase I was held on 13 June and Phase II on 25 July 2026. The Phase II result, with the list of candidates shortlisted for interview, came out in August 2026. Interviews come next, but RBI has not published their dates; call letters are sent by e-mail.
Read the advertisement once, from start to finish. It fixes the eligibility date (1 April 2026), the attempt limit, the fee, the exam scheme (Appendix II for the General cadre) and the service conditions. Anything else you read online is a summary of it. RBI says any corrigendum will be published only on its own website.
Key highlights
Other streams: DEPR (economics) and DSIM (statistics and data science) are recruited through the same advertisement but have their own qualifications and exam schemes (Appendix III), with Phase I on 14 June and Phase II on 26 July 2026. A candidate could apply for either DEPR or DSIM. This page and the rest of this section cover the General cadre.
