RBI Grade B Apply Online 2024 – Steps
So, let’s address the most important topic of the online application process.
I have written down below, the steps on how to fill the RBI Grade B online application 2024. I have divided the whole process into 10 steps. These will make it super easy.
Fill Registration Form
Step 1: Go to the official website of RBI – rbi.org.in. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on opportunities@RBI.
Step 3: Next, a new page will open, here click on “Recruitment of Officers in Grade B- DR (General), DEPR/DSIM-2024”.
Fill Application Form
Step 6: On the page that opens, fill up all your details like Name, Email ID, Mobile number, etc. When you’re finished filling up the information, click on save and next.
Note: After clicking on save and next, you will get a registration number and password. It will then automatically get generated and you must keep it safe.
Why I say that is because it’s a government website and you don’t want to go through the hassle of regenerating the password in the middle of your preparation.
| Documents | Size | Pixels | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | 20-50 KBs | 200 X 230 Pixels | JPG or JPEG |
| Signature | 10 - 20 KBs | 140 X 50 pixels | JPG or JPEG |

I say that because I have seen cases where the system at the center shows some error or the center is too dingy. This is the last thing you want after you are well prepared for the exam.
If you find any mistakes, go back and correct them. Finally, when you find everything correct in the preview, click on “final submit”.
Once you’re done uploading click on save and next.
