The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) conducts the Grade B exam to recruit officers in various departments of the central bank. The vacancies for the RBI Grade B exam are distributed among different categories to ensure a fair representation of candidates from all backgrounds. The category-wise distribution of vacancies is as follows:


The general category includes candidates who do not belong to any reserved category. The number of vacancies allocated for the general category may vary from year to year based on the requirement and the total number of vacancies available.


Candidates belonging to the Scheduled Caste category are given reservation benefits in government job recruitments. The RBI Grade B exam also provides a certain percentage of vacancies for SC candidates to promote social inclusion and equal opportunities.


Similar to the SC category, candidates belonging to the Scheduled Tribe category are given reservation benefits in the RBI Grade B exam. The vacancies allocated for ST candidates ensure representation and opportunities for individuals from tribal communities.


The OBC category includes candidates who belong to non-creamy layer backward classes. A specific percentage of vacancies is reserved for OBC candidates to provide them with equal opportunities in the RBI Grade B exam.


The EWS category was introduced to provide reservation benefits to economically weaker sections of the society who do not fall under any other reserved category. The RBI Grade B exam also allocates a certain percentage of vacancies for EWS candidates.


To ensure inclusivity and accessibility, a certain percentage of vacancies are reserved for candidates with disabilities. The PWD category includes candidates with visual impairment, hearing impairment, locomotor disabilities, and other specified disabilities.


Ex-Servicemen, who have served in the Indian Armed Forces, are also given reservation benefits in the RBI Grade B exam. A specific number of vacancies are allocated for ex-servicemen to acknowledge their contribution and provide them with employment opportunities.

It is important to note that the exact distribution of vacancies among these categories may vary from year to year as per the RBI's guidelines and the available vacancies. Candidates are advised to refer to the official notification of the RBI Grade B exam for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding category-wise vacancies.
