Is Final Year Student Eligible for IBPS RRB?

The eligibility of final year students to apply for the IBPS RRB exam depends on their graduation status. Based on the previous year (2023) notification, the candidates must have already completed their graduation before applying i.e. the candidate must have completed his/her graduation as on the date mentioned in the notification. Those who are currently in their final year of graduation or have finished the academic requirements but are awaiting their final results as of the specified date mentioned in the notification, will not be considered eligible to submit their application. Therefore, final-year students who have not yet officially obtained their graduation results cannot proceed with the online application process for the IBPS RRB examination. The authorities have set this criterion to ensure that only candidates who have already fulfilled the educational qualification requirements are allowed to apply for the exam. However, students who have passed the graduation but have not received the degree certificate can apply with a provisional degree certificate, but these candidates have to make sure that they present their original degree had they are selected for the interview process.
