About this guide
The Reserve Bank's Legal Officer exam in full. The official paper structure, the 2026 cut-offs, a syllabus mapped to sections, a method for the 36 descriptive papers, interview preparation and 15 questions.
The Reserve Bank of India recruits Legal Officers directly into Grade B, a level above most regulators' entry grade. Unlike most officer exams, almost all of the marks come from descriptive answers, typed on screen. That changes how you should prepare.
