Candidate update | 10 November 2026
The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) released the Online Preliminary Exam Call Letter for CRP-RRBs-XV Officer Scale I on 9 November 2026. Registered candidates should download their call letter from the official IBPS website and verify the details printed on it well before the examination.
Officer Scale I preliminary examination is scheduled for 21 and 22 November 2026 under the IBPS tentative calendar. The call letter is a candidate-specific document; the date, shift and reporting time printed on the downloaded letter govern the individual candidate.

Check these details immediately
- Candidate name, photograph and signature.
- Registration/roll number and examination name (CRP-RRBs-XV Officer Scale I).
- Examination date, shift, reporting time and gate-closing time.
- Full examination-centre address and centre code.
- Instructions on permitted identity proof, photograph and other documents.
- Any undertaking, declaration or additional document expressly required in the call letter.
If the name, photograph, date or centre information appears incorrect, contact IBPS through the official grievance/helpdesk channel promptly. Do not wait until the examination day. Candidates should not assume that a call letter can be corrected at the venue.
Exam-day checklist
- Carry a printed call letter and the original valid photo identity proof specified in the instructions.
- Carry additional photographs only if required by the call letter.
- Reach the centre by the reporting time; gate closure is not the same as exam start time.
- Read the prohibited-item rules. Mobile phones, smart watches, calculators or other electronic devices are not permitted unless the official instructions specifically allow an item.
- Follow biometric, frisking, identity verification and seating instructions.
- Keep the call letter safe after the exam; it may be required during later stages.
Exam schedule and selection context
IBPS’s 2026–27 calendar lists Officer Scale I prelims on 21–22 November and the main examination on 20 December 2026. The dates are tentative-calendar entries and candidates should monitor IBPS for any corrigendum or change. The CRP-RRBs-XV process covers Regional Rural Banks; Officer Scale I is the entry-level officer/Assistant Manager track and proceeds through preliminary examination, main examination and interview as prescribed in the notification.
Do not confuse the Officer Scale I call letter with the Office Assistant (Multipurpose) call letter. Office Assistant prelims are separately scheduled for 6, 12 and 13 December 2026. Officer Scale II and III have a single examination rather than the Officer Scale I preliminary stage.
Preparation focus for the remaining days
At this stage, use the call letter to settle logistics first. For prelims, the standard Officer Scale I test comprises Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude; practise timed sets, maintain accuracy and review recurring errors. Avoid changing a stable strategy at the last minute. Check the official information handout and mock test link in the RRB XV section for the current format and familiarisation.
