This is not the IBPS Rajbhasha Adhikari (SO) recruitment
This advertisement is for a post inside IBPS itself: a Hindi Officer in Grade ‘E’ who works for the Institute in Mumbai. It is separate from the CRP Specialist Officers recruitment, where IBPS selects Rajbhasha Adhikari candidates for participating banks. Eligibility, selection stages and service terms in this page come only from Advertisement IBPS/2026-27/04.
Who should apply and who should not
Consider applying if you were born between 02.09.1996 and 01.09.2003 (both dates inclusive), hold one of the four Master’s degree combinations listed in the Eligibility tab from a regular (non-distance) course, can type and create translated Hindi and English documents yourself in MS Word and Excel, and can accept a Mumbai posting with a three-year service bond.
Do not apply if your degree came through correspondence, distance or open university mode (the advertisement does not accept these), you are an existing IBPS employee (regular or contractual), or you cannot take up the Mumbai posting. Candidates who have defaulted on bank, NBFC or credit card dues and have not regularised them by the date of the offer letter are not eligible for appointment.
How to match your degree to the official clauses
The advertisement allows four routes, and each depends on both the Master’s subject and the subjects or medium at graduation. Write down your Master’s subject, whether Hindi or English was a major or elective subject at graduation, and the medium of your graduation examinations. Then compare those three facts with the exact wording in the advertisement. Keep a university document that shows the subjects and the medium, because original documents are checked at the selection stage.
Translation experience in a bank or financial institution is listed as desirable, not mandatory. Exposure to AI-based translation tools is described as an added qualification. Computer competency is listed as a must.
Career Growth and Work Profile
According to the advertisement, the job involves translating confidential examination questions between Hindi and English and developing objective and descriptive tests of Hindi proficiency for various posts. IBPS says the listed duties are indicative and other roles may be assigned. Selected candidates serve a one-year probation, which IBPS can extend. Confirmation depends on satisfactory completion and IBPS staff rules.
Pay terms in the notice: basic pay âš44,900, total emoluments of about âš91,070 a month at the start of the scale (including DA, HRA and TA), and an approximate annual CTC of âš17.39 lakh, all as on September 2026. Basic pay is the base of the scale. Total emoluments add allowances. CTC also includes employer-side benefits such as PF contribution, medical cover and gratuity. These are not three separate payments. The advertisement does not promise a pension or a guaranteed confirmation.
Historical Cut Off Trends
IBPS does not publish previous cut-off marks for this internal post in the advertisement, and no verified official cut-off is available for comparison. The advertisement says each candidate must clear a minimum score in every test and that cut-offs will depend on the number of vacancies. No safe-score estimate is offered.
Post Specific Selection Nuances
- Stages: Online Examination, Skill Test & Item Writing Exercise, Group Exercises and Personal Interview. Selection after the online test is held at IBPS, Mumbai.
- Sectional minimums: you must score the minimum in each of the four tests, not only in the total.
- Negative marking: 0.25 of the marks for a question is deducted for each wrong answer.
- Shortlisting can be tighter than the minimum: IBPS may restrict the number called by looking at qualification and experience above the minimum, so list all qualifications and experience in the form.
- Service bond: âš2 lakh for a minimum of three years from joining. The period can extend by loss-of-pay days.
- Employed candidates: government, PSU and bank employees need an original No Objection Certificate at the selection process, and a relieving letter before joining.
- Vacancy count: the advertisement does not state a number. It says appointments are against the existing vacancy, with a six-month wait list.
Common mistakes
- Assuming any Hindi or English Master’s degree qualifies without checking the graduation subject or medium condition.
- Applying with a distance or open university degree.
- Treating desirable bank translation experience as mandatory, or ignoring the mandatory computer competency.
- Reading the 21 October 2026 application print date as an extension. Registration and fee payment close on 6 October 2026.
- Using IBPS PO, Clerk, RRB or Rajbhasha Adhikari rules for this post.
