IBPS RRB XV Officer Scale-I Pre Admit Card 2026

IBPS RRB XV Officer Scale-I Pre admit card 2026

The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) has released the online Preliminary Examination call letter for CRP-RRBs-XV — Officer Scale I on 9 November 2026. The release is confirmed on the official IBPS homepage under recent updates. Candidates can download the call letter from the IBPS login portal using their registration details.

This post is for the Officer Scale-I Preliminary call letter only. The Office Assistant (Multipurpose) Preliminary call letter is not out yet — its examination is scheduled for 6, 12 and 13 December 2026 — so Office Assistant candidates should not expect a call letter at this stage.

Exam dates — aggregator consensus, flagged

The Preliminary examination for Officer Scale-I is expected on 21 and 22 November 2026. Those exact dates rest on aggregator consensus (IBPS RRB pages and secondary sources agree), not on the official notification text, which gives only tentative November/December 2026 dates. Candidates should confirm the date and shift printed on their own call letter. The other dates in the cycle are: Single examination for Scale-II and Scale-III on 20 December 2026, Mains for Scale-I on 20 December 2026, Mains for Office Assistant on 30 January 2027, and interviews in January/February 2027.

The recruitment

CRP RRBs-XV covers Officers (Scale-I, II and III) and Office Assistants (Multipurpose) in Regional Rural Banks, with 13,706 posts in all: Office Assistant (Multipurpose) 8,183; Officer Scale-I 4,256; Scale-II General Banking Officer 666, Chartered Accountant 81, Law 46, Marketing 16, Treasury Manager 18, Agriculture 38 and IT 182; and Scale-III 220. The per-post split is as stated by secondary sources, with the row sum matching the official total of 13,706; the official Annexure I vacancy tables did not render as text in the copy of the notification that was read.

Registration for the recruitment ran from 1 September 2026. The official notification gives 21 September 2026 as the last date; some portals say 27 September 2026, which is likely an extension issued after the notification. The extension notice was not read, so both dates are recorded here and 27 September is not asserted as official.

Age limit (Officer Scale-I)

For Officer Scale-I, the age limit as on 1 September 2026 is 18 to 30 years. The other posts have different limits: Office Assistant 18 to 28, Scale-II 21 to 32 and Scale-III 21 to 40, as on the same date.

Application fee (recruitment stage)

The application fee for this recruitment was ₹850 for all other candidates and ₹175 for SC, ST and PwBD candidates for Officers, including GST, and ₹850 for all other candidates and ₹175 for SC, ST, PwBD, ESM and DESM candidates for Office Assistants. Registration is closed, so the fee is given here for information only and no fee card is carried on this admit-card post.
