In terms of Government of India (GoI), Ministry of Finance, Department of  Financial Services letter No. F.No.3/8/2010-RRB dated 23 Feb 2012, the  methodology for conduct of Common Written Examination (CWE) for recruitment of Officers in Scale I, II, III and Office Assistants (Multipurpose)  in RRBs through Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) has to be  finalised by NABARD in consultation with GoI, IBPS and RRBs. Accordingly, in consultation with GoI, IBPS, select RRBs and select sponsored banks, the  guidelines for Common Written Examination (CWE) for Recruitment of Officers in Scale I, II, III and Office Assistant (Multipurpose) in RRBs have been  finalised and they are broadly on the lines as being followed for Public Sector  Banks ( PSBs). The salient features of the guidelines for CWE are as follows :

Steps for conducting the CWE

• RRBs have to give IBPS a mandate to conduct CWE for a particular  cadre on their behalf. This could be done based on a resolution of  their Board citing MoF direction dated 23 February 2012, with  appropriate reference to service regulation.

• National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) will  issue a “General Notice” on behalf of Government of India, for  informing the general public that, those aspiring for a career in RRBs
  have to take the Common Written Examination conducted by IBPS for recruitment in RRBs.

• One RRB will be identified by the NABARD as Nodal RRB for each  State to coordinate the conduct of examinations in that State under  their charge. However, the other remaining RRBs in the State will also  be involved to assist the designated Nodal RRB in carrying out smooth conduct of the examination in coordination with IBPS.

• IBPS will arrange to conduct Pre-Examination Training (PET) through  an agency with the support of the Nodal RRB and the latter will be  responsible for supervising and coordinating various activities related  to conduct of Pre-Examination Training

• IBPS will make arrangements to allot candidates, generate call letters,  provide link for candidates to download call letters, develop tests and  other material and dispatch the same to the concerned RRBs. All type 
  of queries of candidate appearing in the CWE will be handled by IBPS through a Help Desk.

• Examination will be conducted by designated RRBs and the exam  material ( test question paper, answer sheets etc) will be sent back to  IBPS,immediately after the written examination.
