RBI Assistant 2025 Eligibility: Age, Qualification Details

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced the eligibility criteria for the much-anticipated RBI Assistant 2025 recruitment exam, setting clear guidelines for aspirants. Candidates aiming to apply must be between 20 and 28 years of age as of the specified date mentioned in the official notification, with age relaxations available for reserved categories as per government norms. For example, SC/ST candidates typically receive a relaxation of 5 years, OBC candidates get 3 years, and persons with disabilities can avail up to 10 years depending on their category. Meeting the age limit criteria is essential, as applications from candidates falling outside the prescribed range will be rejected without consideration. Aspirants are also advised to check the detailed notification carefully for category-wise age relaxation, as the cut-off dates and proof of age requirements will be strictly verified during document scrutiny.

In terms of educational qualification, candidates must possess a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree in any discipline with at least 50% marks (pass class for SC/ST/PwBD candidates) from a recognized university as of the application closing date. Proficiency in the official language of the concerned state or union territory for which the candidate is applying is mandatory, along with basic knowledge of computers. Candidates who are in the final semester or awaiting results are generally not eligible unless they can produce proof of graduation by the stipulated date. These eligibility requirements highlight the RBI’s focus on recruiting candidates who are not only academically sound but also regionally competent and digitally aware, given the evolving demands of banking services. Meeting both the age and qualification criteria is the first step toward moving closer to securing a prestigious career with India’s central banking institution.
