IBPS RRB CRP-XV Recruitment 2026 - Apply Online for Officer & Office Assistant Posts

IBPS has released the CRP RRBs XV notification for 2026, opening applications for two major categories of jobs in Regional Rural Banks across the country — Officer posts (Scale I, II, and III) and Office Assistant (Multipurpose) posts. This is one of the most anticipated banking recruitment drives of the year, giving graduates a genuine shot at a stable government-linked banking career. The recruitment covers 28 Regional Rural Banks spread across states such as Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and many more, each hiring for local vacancies. Candidates can apply for the Office Assistant post and, separately, for one officer-cadre post of their choice — Scale I, Scale II, or Scale III — but not more than one post within the officer cadre. For Office Assistant and Officer Scale I, the selection process runs through two stages of online objective exams — Preliminary and Main — followed by a common interview for Officer Scale I candidates only. Office Assistant selection is based purely on Main exam marks and reported vacancies. For Officer Scale II and III, there is a single-level online exam followed directly by an interview. Eligible candidates should be Indian citizens (or fall under other specified nationality categories) and meet the age and qualification norms detailed further in this post. A Bachelor's degree is the base qualification for all posts, with specific streams preferred for certain specialist officer roles like IT Officer, Law Officer, Chartered Accountant, Agricultural Officer, Marketing Officer, and Treasury Manager. This is a great opportunity for banking aspirants looking to build a stable, respectable career with a Regional Rural Bank. Applications open on 1st September 2026, so candidates are advised to register early and avoid last-minute technical issues. This CRP RRBs XV recruitment 2026 is expected to draw lakhs of applicants given the scale of vacancies and the reputation of IBPS as a recruiting body for the banking sector. Aspiring candidates should read the detailed eligibility criteria carefully before applying, as no changes are permitted to key fields like category, name, or post after the edit window closes.
