IBPS RRB CRP-XV Recruitment 2026 Notification Out - Apply Online for 13706 Officer & Office Assistant Posts

IBPS has released indicative, RRB-wise and category-wise vacancies for each post in Annexure-I of the notification. The notification itself does not print a single consolidated grand-total figure; the totals below are computed by summing the individual state/RRB-wise tables for each post category. One participating bank, Tripura Gramin Bank , has reported "NR" (Not Reported) against every post, so it is excluded from these computed totals and the true final vacancy count will be higher once that figure is released. Vacancies are spread across all 28 participating RRBs, covering states such as Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and others. Candidates can check the RRB-wise, category-wise (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/General) breakup for their state directly in Annexure-I of the official notification, since a state/category-level reproduction is too exten

Nationality: a candidate must be a citizen of India, or a subject of Nepal/Bhutan, or a Tibetan refugee who arrived before 1 January 1962 intending to settle permanently in India, or a person of Indian origin migrated from certain specified countries with an eligibility certificate from the Government of India. Educational qualification (as on the last date of online registration, i.e. 21.09.2026) varies by post: Candidates awarded CGPA/OGPA must convert it to a percentage as per their university's own conversion criteria, and the result for the qualifying degree must have been declared on or before 21.09.2026.

Salary: Not specified in the notification. Exam pattern: The online examination structure differs by post and stage. There is a penalty of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer in the objective tests; unattempted questions are not penalised.
