RBI Grade B 2026 Admit Card Update: Check Now

What Every Grade B Candidate Must Do Right Now

If you applied for the RBI Grade B Officer Recruitment 2026, the next 24 hours are the most important period before your examination. Two things are happening simultaneously,  the Phase 1 Admit Card is expected to be released today or tomorrow, and the deadline to print your submitted application form is tomorrow, June 5, 2026. Missing either of these will create serious problems on exam day. Read every line of this notification carefully and act immediately.

The RBI Grade B Phase 1 examination is scheduled for June 13, 2026 for General stream candidates and June 14, 2026 for DEPR and DSIM stream candidates. That is just 9 days from today. The Reserve Bank of India typically releases admit cards 10 to 15 days before the examination, which means the release window is active right now. Multiple verified sources including oliveboard.in and anujjindal.in have confirmed the expected release date as around June 3 to June 5, 2026. The admit card has not yet been officially released as of this morning, but it can go live at any time today.

Two Urgent Tasks,  Do Both Today

Task 1:  Print Your Application Form Before Tomorrow

This is the step most candidates forget. The RBI has set June 5, 2026 as the last date to print the submitted application form from the official portal. You must log in to opportunities.rbi.org.in today, go to your application, and print the form. This document is required for document verification at the exam centre. Once the June 5 deadline passes, the print option may be disabled.

Task 2:  Download Admit Card the Moment It Goes Live

Check opportunities.rbi.org.in every few hours today and tomorrow. The moment the admit card link is activated, log in immediately and download. Do not wait. Servers get overloaded when large numbers of candidates try to download simultaneously. Downloading early avoids technical issues.
