Where the Postings Are
Postings sit within the operational area of the RRB you are allotted to, which is largely rural and semi-urban, though branches also exist in district and some urban centres. You commit to serving that state's RRB, so the state preference at application is a career decision, not a form field.
Following the 2025 One State, One RRB consolidation, the recruitment serves 28 Regional Rural Banks across nearly every state and union territory, which is what makes the state choice cleaner than it used to be: one state, one bank.
Pay Figures Follow the Notified Cycle
Vacancies, fees, dates, cut-offs and eligibility thresholds are revised per CRP RRB notification. Figures here reflect the 2025-26 cycle as last notified. Confirm the current notification on ibps.in before you act on them.
