Who Should Apply?

  • The roles are contract-based — ideal for experienced professionals who want a fixed-term, high-impact assignment at a top national institution.

For Exam Aspirants:

  • Even if you are not applying this cycle, keep NABARD on your radar — it also conducts NABARD Grade A (Assistant Manager) and Development Assistant exams annually, both of which are widely taken by banking aspirants.
  • The NABARD Grade A 2026 notification is expected between July and August 2026, with around 80–100 vacancies across multiple streams.
