RBI Annual Recruitment Calendar 2027: Grade B, Grade A, Manager (Technical) & Other Class I Officer Posts
The Reserve Bank of India has released its Annual Recruitment Calendar for Class I posts, Panel Year 2027, dated as on 22.10.2026. It lists the planned month of notification and the planned examination months for Officers in Grade ‘B’ (DR), Officers in Grade ‘A’ (DR) and five other officer cadres. If you are planning a career in banking jobs, this is the earliest signal of when to start preparing.
This is a calendar, not an advertisement, so no application is open today. Every date is a month, not a day, and RBI states that the dates are indicative. Below we set out each cadre’s months, what the calendar leaves open, and how to prepare so you are ready when the real notification arrives. Keep checking GovtJobsAlert.in for each notification as it is issued.

RBI Grade B (DR) Recruitment Calendar 2027
The Grade ‘B’ (DR) officers’ recruitment, covering General, DEPR and DSIM, is the only cadre in the calendar with two examination phases.
| Stage | Planned Month |
|---|---|
| Notification | February 2027 |
| Phase-I Examination | April 2027 |
| Phase-II Examination | May/June 2027 |
The gap between notification and Phase-I is about two months, and the calendar gives no application dates. Candidates who wait for the advertisement to begin preparing will have very little time.
RBI Grade A (DR) Recruitment Calendar 2027
Officers in Grade ‘A’ (DR), General, are scheduled later in the year and in a single phase.
| Stage | Planned Month |
|---|---|
| Notification | July 2027 |
| Examination | Single Phase: September 2027 |
RBI Other Cadres Recruitment Calendar 2027
Five other officer posts share one schedule: notification in February 2027 and a single-phase examination in March/April 2027.
| Post | Notification |
|---|---|
| Manager (Technical – Civil) | February 2027 |
| Manager (Technical – Electrical) | February 2027 |
| Legal Officer in Grade ‘B’ | February 2027 |
| Assistant Manager (Protocol & Security) | February 2027 |
| Assistant Manager (Rajbhasha) | February 2027 |
| Post | Examination |
|---|---|
| All five posts above | Single Phase: March/ April 2027 |
Because these five posts and Grade ‘B’ (DR) are all scheduled for notification in February 2027, expect several RBI advertisements close together. Read each one separately, because each carries its own conditions.

What Is the Salary for RBI Class I Officers Recruitment 2027?
The calendar does not state the pay for any cadre, so no salary figure can be given here. The pay scale will be in each advertisement.
What Is the Application Fee for RBI Class I Officers Recruitment 2027?
The calendar does not state any application fee. The fee, if any, will be set out in the advertisement for each recruitment.
What Are the Eligibility and Vacancies for RBI Class I Officers Recruitment 2027?
The calendar gives months only. RBI itself states that the following will be set out in the advertisement issued for each recruitment, which is the only official and authoritative reference for that cycle.
| Item | Where It Will Be Given |
|---|---|
| Detailed eligibility criteria and conditions | The advertisement for each recruitment |
| Number of vacancies | The advertisement for each recruitment |
| Final dates | The advertisement for each recruitment |
| Other terms | The advertisement for each recruitment |
This calendar does not give eligibility, upper age, vacancies, pay, fees or exact dates for any cadre, so do not rely on figures from unofficial sources until the notification is out. Qualification for the technical and legal posts is not stated either, so a candidate in civil or electrical engineering or law should wait for the advertisement before assuming eligibility.
Conditions Attached to the RBI Calendar
| Condition | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Decision to recruit | The decision to conduct the recruitment is liable to alteration if circumstances so warrant |
| Notification month | The month of notification is liable to alteration |
| Commencement | The commencement is liable to alteration |
| Dates | The dates are indicative (month-wise), not fixed days |
| Authority | The advertisement for each recruitment is the only official reference for that cycle |
What Is the Selection Process in the RBI Calendar 2027?
The calendar names only the examination stages below. It does not describe the pattern, subjects, marking or any later stage.
| Cadre | Stages Named in the Calendar |
|---|---|
| Grade ‘B’ (DR) General/ DEPR/ DSIM | Phase-I Examination, then Phase-II Examination |
| Grade ‘A’ (DR) General | Single Phase Examination |
| Other cadres | Single Phase Examination |
Anything beyond these examinations, including the final selection method, will be in each advertisement. Check the exam calendar and syllabus pages on our site for preparation material once the pattern is announced.
How to Apply for RBI Class I Officers Recruitment 2027?
Nothing can be applied for yet. When an advertisement is issued, check RBI’s official opportunities page for it. The table below shows what to do now and later.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Note the month of notification for your target cadre from the table above |
| 2 | Open the official RBI opportunities page (link in Essential Links) in that month |
| 3 | Read the full advertisement for your cadre, including eligibility and last date |
| 4 | Apply only through the method that advertisement prescribes, before the last date it states |
| 5 | Save a copy of the application and acknowledgement once submitted |
Do not pay any person or website for “early registration”. The calendar does not open any application, and the advertisement is the only place the process will be set out.
How Should You Plan Around the RBI Calendar 2027?
Work backwards from the month for your cadre. For Grade ‘B’ (DR), the examination begins in April 2027, so the months from now to February are your preparation window. For Grade ‘A’ (DR), the notification is not until July 2027, which leaves more time, with a single-phase examination in September 2027. Candidates for the Manager (Technical), Legal Officer and Assistant Manager posts have the shortest runway, with notification in February and the examination in March or April.
Because RBI warns that the plan may change, keep your preparation flexible and do not resign from a job or book non-refundable arrangements on the basis of a month. Treat each month as a likely window, not a promise. If you are targeting more than one cadre, note that the February cluster puts several cadres’ examinations in overlapping months.
