CRP-RRBs XV: RRB PO applications closed
IBPS's CRP-RRBs XV Officer Scale I application window ran from 1 September to 21 September 2026 and is now closed. The IBPS page checked on 25 September showed no extension notice. The application can be printed through 6 October 2026.
Officer Scale I is the Assistant Manager entry route in participating Regional Rural Banks. The current annexure gives 4,256 reported Officer Scale I vacancies. Tripura is shown as NR (Not Reported), so 4,256 is the present reported total, not a promise that vacancies cannot change.
A candidate may apply for Office Assistant as well, but within the Officers' cadre IBPS allows only one choice: Scale I or Scale II or Scale III.
Current exam dates
The calendar is tentative. A call letter, reporting time, venue or later revision becomes final only through the relevant IBPS notice.
Application fee
The notified amounts include GST; transaction charges may apply separately.
2026 Officer Scale I vacancies — State/RRB/category
Read NR correctly: NR is not zero. It means the RRB did not report a number in the table used for the current compilation.
What to check before choosing a State
RRB PO is not a single national-vacancy competition. State/RRB vacancy, the prescribed local language and the place where you are willing to serve should be considered together. Historical cutoff is useful context, but it should never be the only reason to choose a State.
After submitting the form
Save the final application and fee receipt. Check that your graduation result meets the closing-date rule, your age is calculated on the notified reference date, and you understand the local-language condition. Start Main-exam General Awareness and Computer Knowledge now; waiting for the Prelims result wastes the short gap before Main.
The recruitment notification does not give one universal guaranteed in-hand salary figure. Pay, allowances and service conditions follow the applicable RRB rules, so avoid treating coaching-site salary estimates as an official notification promise.
