Last updated: 2026-11-12 · MockMentor

You apply for RBI Grade B online only, on RBI's website, during a window of about three weeks after the advertisement comes out. In 2026 the window ran from 29 April to 20 May 2026 (6 pm). For 2027, RBI's calendar puts the advertisement in February 2027.

Before you start, keep ready: a working email and mobile number, a scanned photograph, signature, left thumb impression and a handwritten declaration, your marks in all semesters, and a way to pay online.

How to apply, step by step

  1. Open the advertisement on www.rbi.org.in (Opportunities@RBI) when it is released, and read the eligibility rules first. See our eligibility and age limit page.
  2. Register with your name, email address and mobile number. Your name must match your photo ID, certificates and mark sheets exactly, or you may not be allowed into the exam.
  3. Fill in your details: category, education with percentage, exam centre preferences and the medium of the exam.
  4. Upload the scanned documents: a recent photograph, your signature, your left thumb impression and the handwritten declaration, in the sizes and formats the advertisement gives.
  5. Pay the fee online and save the payment receipt.
  6. Download and save the completed application form. You will need your Registration ID (RID) to download admit cards.

If you submit more than one application, only the last completed application, the one with the higher Registration ID, is considered. The fee paid on the other applications is not refunded.

If you work in a government organisation, PSU or bank

Inform your employer (Head of Office or Department) in writing before you apply. While applying, you confirm in an undertaking that you have done so. If your employer later withholds permission, your application can be cancelled.

The edit window

After the last date, RBI opens a two-day edit window where you can change only these fields, on paying again:

  • Exam centre
  • Medium of the exam
  • Father's name
  • Mother's name
  • Class X and XII percentage

Nothing else can be changed after that, so check your category, date of birth and education details carefully before you submit.

Documents: what is checked and when

You do not upload certificates for age, education, category, EWS or disability with the application. They are verified at the interview stage. Admission to every stage is provisional until then.

  • If you belong to SC, ST, OBC, EWS or PwBD but do not have the certificate by the last date of application, RBI's advertisement asks you to apply under the General category.
  • OBC candidates in the creamy layer must apply as General.

Admit card and exam day

Admit cards are downloaded from RBI's website before each phase, and RBI sends updates only by email and SMS, so keep both active. On exam day, carry:

  • the admit card
  • an original photo ID and a photocopy of it (one photocopy for Phase I; two or three for Phase II, one for each shift)

The name on your admit card must match your photo ID exactly. Candidates who arrive after the gate-closing time are not allowed in.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Waiting for the last day: the website gets slow, and RBI takes no responsibility for applications not submitted in time.
  • A name that does not match your photo ID or mark sheets.
  • Choosing the wrong category, which cannot be changed later.
  • Not informing your employer before applying, if you work in the government or public sector.
  • Paying the fee but not completing the application.
