The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection has started the fifteenth Common Recruitment Process for Regional Rural Banks. The process is officially called CRP RRBs-XV. It covers Group “A” Officer posts and the Group “B” Office Assistants (Multipurpose) post.

Candidates commonly search for these posts as IBPS RRB Clerk and IBPS RRB PO. However, the official post names are Office Assistants (Multipurpose) and Officer Scale I. Applicants should use the official names while reviewing eligibility, vacancies and application instructions.

A total of 13,706 indicative vacancies have been reported across participating Regional Rural Banks. The largest number of openings is available for Office Assistants (Multipurpose), followed by Officer Scale I.

These vacancies are indicative. IBPS and the participating Regional Rural Banks may revise the category-wise, state-wise or bank-wise distribution during the recruitment process.

Officer Scale II Qualification and Experience

Age Relaxation

Separate relaxation conditions apply to eligible ex-servicemen, commissioned officers, widows, divorced women and other notified categories. Candidates claiming relaxation must possess valid certificates in the required format.

For the Office Assistant post, the concessional fee also applies to eligible ESM and DESM candidates. Bank transaction charges, if applicable, must be paid separately. Fees once paid are generally non-refundable.

Candidates must obtain the required scores at each applicable stage. Final allotment depends on merit, vacancies, category, state or RRB preferences, document verification, eligibility and other official conditions.

IBPS RRB recruitment provides an important opportunity for graduates seeking careers in Regional Rural Banks. However, the selection process is competitive and may continue for several months. Candidates can use their preparation period to improve practical computer, communication, AI and digital skills.

These additional skills do not replace examination preparation or influence IBPS selection. They can provide alternative career options in case candidates also want to explore private employment, freelancing, digital work, business-support roles or technology-based opportunities.
