IBPS RRB XV 2026: 13,745 vacancies, apply by 27 September

IBPS has issued a 21 September 2026 corrigendum extending the CRP RRBs XV online registration and fee-payment window. The live Office Assistants and Officers portals now show closure on 27 September 2026, and the revised AvsarIQ opportunity record carries the same deadline for registration and applicable fee payment. This revision keeps the original IBPS RRB XV intent and immutable URL, but replaces the superseded 21 September action cutoff with the verified extension and a new final-submit checklist.

The extension changes the time available to register, edit the application and pay the fee; it does not change the 13,745 indicative vacancy total or the other terms of the detailed notification. In particular, the notification's qualification-result cutoff remains 21 September 2026 because the extension corrigendum says all other terms remain unchanged. Use the current portals for the action window, and use the detailed notification and current vacancy annexure for eligibility, local-language, fee, experience and post-wise vacancy rules.

The official extension corrigendum dated 21 September changes the website-link and fee-payment period from 1–21 September to 1–27 September 2026. A live check of the Office Assistants portal and the Officers portal shows registration and editing closing on 27 September, with online fee payment also open through that date. The application-print dates remain route-specific—5 October for Office Assistants and 6 October for Officers. The extension document says all other terms in the 1 September detailed notification remain unchanged.

The change is concentrated in the Office Assistant table. The updated PDF lists state and bank rows that sum to 8,222, including 1,200 in Uttar Pradesh, 900 in Andhra Pradesh, 750 in Telangana, 600 in Odisha and 510 in Gujarat. The other route totals are also useful for choosing the correct application path, but the vacancy count should not be treated as a guaranteed appointment number for a state, bank or category.

Office Assistant and Officer Scale I are the broadest graduate routes, but both include a local-language condition tied to the participating RRB or state. The notification also says the qualifying result must have been declared on or before 21 September 2026. That makes a final-year result date and a local-language certificate important checks rather than optional profile details.

The Office Assistants portal and Officers portal are separate. Both current portals show registration, editing and online fee payment through 27 September 2026, while their application-print dates remain 5 October and 6 October respectively. The official officers portal still says that a candidate can apply for only one Officer post, while the notification permits an Office Assistant application alongside an Officer application. Keep the registration number, password, payment receipt and final application print record safely after submission.

The notification gives tentative online examination timing in November or December 2026 for the preliminary and later stages, with results extending into December 2026 or January 2027. Treat those months as the published tentative schedule, not as a personal call-letter date. The detailed paper pattern, language options, minimum cut-offs and later-stage rules should be read from the notification and the relevant information handout.

The official portal warns that online submission does not mean that the requirements have been finally accepted. Later scrutiny can examine qualifications, local language, experience, category records, scribe arrangements and other declarations. Use the updated vacancy table to choose the intended RRB and post, but use the detailed notification to decide which evidence belongs in that application.

Start with the IBPS Regional Rural Banks XV page, the CRP Updates page and the 21 September extension corrigendum. Read the 15 September vacancy corrigendum, the updated indicative vacancy Annexure I and the detailed CRP RRBs XV notification for the current vacancy, qualification, age, fee and exam rules. Use the Office Assistants application portal or the Officers Scale I, II and III portal according to the route selected.
