The IBPS RRB Officer Scale I Age Band

IBPS RRB Officer Scale I (Assistant Manager, the "PO" of Regional Rural Banks) requires candidates to be at least 18 years old and to not have crossed 30 years as on the notification's reference date. Note this minimum age (18) is lower than IBPS PO's (20) — RRB posts have historically used a broader entry-age window. As with every exam in this family, the upper bound is exclusive: a candidate who turns exactly 30 on the reference date has already crossed the limit.

Category-wise Relaxation

Eligible Ex-servicemen and a few other departmental categories get their own relaxation provisions that this calculator doesn't model as a flat number — check the notification's relaxation table directly if one of those applies to you.

Why This Encodes the CRP-XIV (2025) Cycle

IBPS runs Regional Rural Bank recruitment as a separate, annual Common Recruitment Process (CRP-RRB) from its regular PO/Clerk cycles, with its own notification and reference date. As of this tool's last verification (August 2026), the CRP-XV (2026) notification had not yet been released — most trackers expect it in August or September 2026. This calculator encodes CRP-XIV (2025), the most recently completed cycle, with a clear date stamp; the 18–30 age band has been stable for many cycles, but you should re-confirm the exact reference date once the CRP-XV notification is out.

What Disqualifies You

• Being younger than 18, or having already turned 30 (or your relaxed upper limit), as on the reference date.
• Not holding a bachelor's degree from a recognised university.
• Lacking proficiency in the official/local language of the specific Regional Rural Bank's operating state — a requirement unique to RRB recruitment that this calculator does not check.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is IBPS RRB PO the same as IBPS PO? No — they're separate recruitment processes. IBPS RRB PO (Officer Scale I) hires for Regional Rural Banks specifically, with its own age band, language requirements, and exam pattern, distinct from the regular IBPS PO/MT process.

Does the relaxation apply to the minimum age too? No — only the upper age limit is relaxed; every candidate, regardless of category, must be at least 18.

When is the CRP-XV (2026) notification expected? Trackers widely expected August–September 2026 as of this tool's last verification, but this had not been officially confirmed — check ibps.in directly for the latest status.

Is this the official IBPS eligibility checker? No. This is an independent, browser-only estimate built from the most recently completed CRP-RRB notification. Always cross-check your exact date of birth and category against the live notification at ibps.in.

Is my data stored anywhere? No. The check runs entirely in your browser; nothing is transmitted to a server.
