RBI Grade B Phase 1 Admit Card 2026 OUT Soon – Exam Scheduled for June 13–14
If you are one of the thousands of candidates who applied for the RBI Grade B Officer Recruitment 2026, here is a critical alert you cannot afford to miss. The RBI Grade B Phase 1 Examination is scheduled for June 13 and 14, 2026 — just 18 days from today. Based on the Reserve Bank of India’s standard practice of releasing admit cards 7 to 10 days before the examination, the RBI Grade B Phase 1 Admit Card is expected to be released between May 27 and June 3, 2026 — meaning it could drop as early as tomorrow.
This is not an update you can sit back and wait on. The moment the admit card is available, you need to download it immediately, verify every single detail printed on it, and start planning your exam-day logistics — travel, accommodation if needed, and the documents you are required to carry to the exam hall.
Why the RBI Grade B Exam Is So High-Stakes This Year
This year’s RBI Grade B recruitment has only 60 vacancies — the lowest number ever announced in the history of this exam. That means competition is extraordinarily intense, and every single candidate who appears for Phase 1 is fighting for one of the rarest seats in Indian government banking. If you have been preparing, now is the time to give it everything you have. If you feel underprepared, use whatever days remain between today and June 13 to do intensive revision and mock test practice.
