Exim Bank Recruitment 2026: The Export-Import Bank of India has launched a Special Recruitment Drive specifically to clear backlog vacancies reserved for SC, ST, and OBC candidates — 6 Deputy Manager posts in Banking Operations and 2 Manager posts in Internal Audit. This isn’t a general open recruitment; every post here carries a category reservation, so eligibility is tied directly to caste category alongside the usual qualification and experience bar.
For candidates who qualify under these categories and already have banking, credit, or audit experience, it’s a meaningful entry point into a premier financial institution, with a written test and interview as the only hurdles — no prelims, no multi-stage screening.

Selection Process
Written test — Professional Knowledge (subjective): 1 compulsory question (40 marks) plus 6 of 8 optional questions (60 marks), 2.5 hours total, no sectional cutoff.
Personal interview for those shortlisted by overall written score.
Final merit: 70% written test, 30% interview. A pre-recruitment training option is available for reserved-category candidates who opt for it on the application form.
How to Apply
Go to the Bank’s online application page and click “Apply Online” → “New Registration,” entering name, contact, and email to get a Provisional Registration Number.
Fill the form using “Save and Next” — no edits allowed after “Complete Registration.”
Upload photograph, signature, left thumb impression, and handwritten declaration per the specified size/format.
Preview, confirm, then complete registration and pay the fee online.
Print the e-receipt and completed form for your records.
Note: you can apply for only one post — a second application forfeits the fee on the earlier one and only the latest counts.
Q1. Who can apply for this Exim Bank recruitment?
Only SC, ST, and OBC candidates — these are backlog vacancies reserved under a Special Recruitment Drive, not a general open recruitment.
Q2. How many posts are open, and where?
8 total: 6 Deputy Manager (Banking Operations) and 2 Manager (Internal Audit), postable anywhere in India.
Q3. What’s the last date to apply?
10 October 2026, online only.
Q4. What qualification is needed?
An MBA/PGDBA/PGDBM/MMS in Finance or a CA qualification, plus banking/financial institution experience — 1 year for Deputy Manager, 3 years for Manager.
Q5. What does the role pay?
Roughly ₹18 lakh CTC for Deputy Manager and ₹20 lakh for Manager, on IBA 12th Bipartite Settlement pay scales.
Practical Tip
Because Deputy Managers must sign a ₹3 lakh service bond for a minimum 5-year commitment, and a CIBIL default disqualifies you outright, pull your own credit report before applying — a forgotten default surfacing at the joining stage after clearing the written test and interview is a costly way to lose the offer.
