IBPS has published bank‑wise, state‑wise vacancies in Annexure I and issued updates on September 9 and 15. Review the Annexure for your RRB’s language requirements and choose your state accordingly; vacancies are indicative and can change through corrigenda before exams.
Office Assistant and Officer Scale I have Preliminary and Main exams; Scale I also has interviews. Officer Scales II and III face a single online exam followed by interviews. Exact exam dates and centers will appear on call letters; track IBPS updates closely.
Submit early, double‑check entries, and keep your application print and e‑receipt. If payment fails, retry through your registered login. Use only official portals; IBPS has warned about lookalike websites. Missing the September 21 deadline means waiting a full cycle, so finalise today with documents ready.
