February will be a key month for recruitment notifications. According to the calendar, notifications for Grade B (DR) officers in General, DEPR and DSIM streams will be issued in February 2027. Notifications for several other positions, including Manager (Technical – Civil and Electrical), Legal Officer (Grade B), Assistant Manager (Protocol & Security) and Assistant Manager (Rajbhasha), are also scheduled for the same month.
Candidates aspiring to join the RBI as Grade A (DR) General officers will have to wait until July 2027 for the recruitment notification. The calendar places this recruitment later in the year than the Grade B officer recruitment process.
The Grade B (DR) officer recruitment examination will be conducted in two phases. Phase I is scheduled for April 2027, while Phase II will take place in May or June 2027. Candidates preparing for these positions will need to plan their preparation around the two-stage examination schedule.
In contrast, the selection process for Grade A (DR) General officers will involve a single-phase examination, scheduled for September 2027. The examinations for other cadres, including Manager, Legal Officer and Assistant Manager, will also be conducted in a single phase, with the examination window scheduled for March or April 2027.
However, the RBI has clarified that the recruitment calendar is indicative and that the dates may change depending on circumstances. The detailed notifications for individual recruitments will provide further information, including the number of vacancies and eligibility criteria. These details will become clear only when the respective official advertisements are released.
The calendar provides an advance outline of the RBI's planned recruitment activities for 2027, but candidates will need to refer to the detailed official notifications for confirmed dates, vacancies and eligibility requirements.
