IBPS Officer Scale-I (RRB PO) 2026: Short Details

This call-letter release covers only registered candidates for the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) Officer Scale-I (RRB PO) Preliminary Examination 2026.

The cycle is notified as CRP RRBs-XV for 4,256 Officer Scale-I vacancies with forms received in Online mode as per the official notification. The overview below captures the organisation with advertisement number and vacancy total in one place.

Selection under this cycle proceeds through Prelims, Mains and Interview, so this document is valid for the first stage only. That means visitors who did not submit a form for Officer Scale-I under this cycle will not find a download link, and only prelims-qualified candidates move to the next stages. Use the registration details from your own Officer Scale-I form, as details for other scales will not open this link.

IBPS Officer Scale-I (RRB PO) 2026 Important Dates and Exam Schedule

The Officer Scale-I Preliminary Examination is fixed for 21 and 22 November 2026 as the Prelims Exam Date, with the call-letter download already active as per the official notification.

The schedule runs from the 1 September 2026 notification to the Prelims Exam Date, with the call-letter release on 9 November 2026 positioned between them. The download facility remains available until 22 November 2026, so the timeline is relevant only to those who had already completed registration — no new applicant can become eligible at the admit-card stage.

Treat the date and shift printed on your own call letter as final, since the two-day plan is operated in multiple shifts and centres. Reporting time, gate-closing time and venue address vary by candidate and are not common for all applicants.

How to Download IBPS Officer Scale-I (RRB PO) 2026

You can download the Officer Scale-I Prelims call letter online from the IBPS portal using the login created during registration.

What to keep ready

Keep the registration number or roll number and the password or date of birth from the same Officer Scale-I form readily accessible, because name-based search does not open the file. Open the file on a desktop browser with pop-ups allowed, so the PDF call letter displays fully before printing.

1. Go to the official website.
2. Open the Rural Bank-XV / CRP RRBs section on the homepage.
3. Click the link for Officer Scale-I Preliminary Examination Call Letter.
4. Enter your registration number or roll number and password or date of birth.
5. Enter the captcha code shown on the screen and submit the login.
6. Verify your name, photograph, signature, exam date, shift, reporting time and centre on screen.
7. Download the PDF and take two clear printouts on A4 paper.

If the photograph or signature appears blurred or mismatched, print again from the original PDF rather than a photocopy. In case the login shows an error despite correct details, re-check that you selected the Officer Scale-I link under the current cycle and that Caps Lock or an extra space has not altered the registration digits.

Documents to Carry with IBPS Officer Scale-I (RRB PO) 2026

Entry to the centre is allowed only with the printed prelims call letter plus the identity and photograph items shown in the list below.

• Printed IBPS RRB PO Prelims Admit Card 2026
• Original Valid Photo Identity Proof Accepted by IBPS
• Photocopy of the Same Photo Identity Proof
• Recent Passport-Size Photograph, as Prescribed
• Any Additional Documents Required in the Call Letter

How the document check works

The original photo identity must be the same one whose photocopy you hand over, and it must be currently valid — an expired card or a screenshot on a phone does not replace the physical original. The passport-size photograph should match the uploaded image as prescribed in the call-letter instructions, since the invigilator tallies it with the printed photo and the pasted copy.

• Carry the printout without lamination or overwriting, so the barcode and exam details remain scannable.
• Keep the original and its photocopy together; submitting a photocopy of a different card creates a mismatch.
• Read the instruction page of your call letter for any extra sheet mentioned there, as requirements can differ by candidate category or scribe use.

Candidates without the complete set are typically not permitted to sit for that shift, and documents cannot be fetched after gate closure.
