After declaring the results of RBI Grade B Officers Exam (Phase I) in June 2017, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has declared the results of Grade B Officers Phase II test that was conducted online on July 6 and 7, this year.

The online test through these phases would help the bank in shortlisting applicants for the final appointment. On June 17, 2017, the bank conducted the RBI Grade B Phase I exam at different centres across the country for the recruitment of Offers in Grade ‘B’ (General), Officers in Grade ‘B’ (Department of Economics and Policy Research-DEPR) and Officers in Grade ‘B’ (Department of Information and Statistics-DSIM). RBI announced the results within a week and published a list of around 3,500 candidates who cracked the Phase I online test.
The exam had a total of 300 marks. For selection in the Phase II test, the candidate had to score the minimum cut-off in each test and on the total marks as well. The banks had released the cut-off list on its official site. The list can be viewed here.
