Official selection path
| Cadre | Process |
|---|---|
| General | Phase I online examination, Phase II papers, then Interview for shortlisted candidates. |
| DEPR | Specialist Phase I and Phase II papers under the DEPR scheme, then Interview for shortlisted candidates. |
| DSIM | Specialist Phase I and Phase II papers under the DSIM scheme, then Interview for shortlisted candidates. |
Final selection
The current RBI detailed notice and its appendices control shortlisting, qualifying conditions and the final-weightage calculation. General, DEPR and DSIM candidates should not assume that a rule, qualification or paper from another cadre applies to them.
Current-cycle caution
Panel Year 2026 is an official RBI cycle. The main exam page carries the audited live status; use RBI Opportunities for later call letters, results, corrigenda and interview instructions.
