IBPS RRB PO Admit Card 2026 Out for 21-22 Nov Prelims

IBPS put the Officer Scale-I prelims call letter on ibps.in on 9 November 2026. The IBPS RRB PO Admit Card 2026 covers the preliminary exam for 4,256 Assistant Manager posts in regional rural banks, and the prelims run on 21 and 22 November 2026. That leaves 12 days between the call letter and the first exam day.

You download the call letter with your registration number and password, or your date of birth. IBPS does not send it by post or email, so the download on the official website is the only way to get it.

What IBPS put up on 9 November

The call letter link sits at the top of the CRP RRBs-XV page on ibps.in, dated 09 Nov 2026, listed for the Officer Scale-I preliminary exam. It is the newest entry on that page, above the notification and the vacancy corrigenda from September.

IBPS posted more than the call letter on the same day. The Information Handout is up in English and Hindi, along with the Guidelines for Scribe, the link for the online scribe declaration form, and a mock test for the Officer Scale-I post. Read the handout before the exam day. It is the document that tells you what to carry, what the centre checks at the gate, and which instructions are printed on the call letter itself.

Take the mock test once, even if you have practised elsewhere. The score does not matter. What matters is learning the screen you will face on 21 or 22 November: where the calculator sits, how the sections switch, and how much time the interface itself eats. Thirty minutes with the real interface is worth more than another mock on a different one.

IBPS RRB PO Prelims Call Letter 2026: how to download it

1. Open ibps.in and go to the CRP RRBs section.
2. Open the call letter link for CRP-RRBs-XV Officer Scale-I.
3. Enter your Registration Number or Roll Number and your Password or Date of Birth.
4. Type the captcha code and click on Login.
5. Your call letter appears on the screen. Download the PDF, print it, and save a copy on your phone as well.

Download it on the first day if you can. The site slows down as the exam gets closer, and the call letter carries your test date, your shift, your reporting time and your centre address. A centre in a different part of your city, or a morning shift when you expected afternoon, changes your travel plan. Finding that out on 20 November leaves you no room to fix anything.

Check these details before you print it

Read the call letter line by line before you print it. Your name must match your photo ID exactly. The photograph and signature printed on the card come from the ones you uploaded in the application form, so if either looks wrong, it is the uploaded image that was wrong.

Paste the same photograph you uploaded in the application form in the space given on the printed call letter. If you need a fresh print of that photo, the passport size photo guide on this site shows the sizes that print cleanly. Keep one spare printout.

If anything on the call letter is wrong, raise it on cgrs.ibps.in, the IBPS grievance portal, right away. Do not wait till the exam week, because corrections take time and the portal gets slower as 21 November gets closer. Do not trust any other website that offers to fix your call letter or download it for you. The IBPS homepage states plainly that ibps.in is the only official website for this recruitment.

What the prelims looks like, and what comes after

The prelims is an online test of 80 questions in 45 minutes, split between Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude, 40 questions each. Every wrong answer costs one fourth of a mark. The prelims only screens candidates for the mains. Its marks do not count in the final merit.

The mains is on 20 December 2026, with 200 questions for 200 marks in two hours. After the mains comes a common interview of 100 marks. The final merit combines mains and interview marks in an 80 to 20 ratio. Both exam dates come from the IBPS tentative calendar of 16 January 2026, and IBPS calls the calendar tentative, so treat the dates as firm for planning and still check ibps.in if anything changes.

Can you still apply for IBPS RRB PO 2026?

Registration for this round closed on 27 September 2026, after an extension from 21 September, and the edit window ran on 7 and 8 October. So this post is for candidates who already applied. If you did not apply in September, this round is closed to you. The IBPS recruitment 2026 post on this site covers three posts at the IBPS Mumbai office, and applications for those close on 12 November.

What to carry on 21 or 22 November

Carry the printed call letter with your photograph pasted on it, an original photo ID, and a photocopy of that ID. That is the whole list, and the centre will not let you sit the test without the original ID.

Keep the prelims call letter after the exam. The centre staff stamp it at the venue, and you must bring the stamped prelims call letter with the mains call letter to the mains exam. Candidates without the stamped prelims call letter and ID copy are not allowed to sit the mains.

Reach the centre by the reporting time printed on the call letter, not by the exam start time, because entry closes before the test begins. The CAT 2026 admit card came out on 6 November, so this is the second big admit card this week. If you are tracking more than one exam, download both cards now and check both centre addresses while you still have time to plan travel.
