Selection Process
- Preliminary Examination: The first-stage online test covers English Language, Numerical Ability and Reasoning Ability. It is qualifying in nature for shortlisting candidates for the Mains examination.
- Main Examination: Candidates who clear the preliminary cut-off must appear for the Mains test on 7 June 2026. Final merit is generally based on the marks obtained in this stage, subject to other qualifying requirements.
- Language Proficiency Test: Provisionally shortlisted candidates must demonstrate proficiency in the local language of the RBI office for which they applied. Document verification and medical fitness requirements will also apply before appointment.
For the preliminary test, the score is generally calculated using the formula: Net score = marks for correct answers minus 0.25 mark for every incorrect answer. Unattempted questions do not attract a penalty. Candidates must satisfy the sectional and overall qualifying standards fixed by RBI. The score card should display the candidate’s marks and the relevant cut-off details.
