Post                                                                                   Age Limit

1. Officer Scale-I(Assistant Manager)                                 Minimum age-18 years                                                                                                         Maximum age-30 years

So according to your year of birth , you don't have an age limit for IBPS RRB pro exam.

Absolutely yes, you can give RRB PO exam in Hindi language as well. While filling the form you will have to select your language as Hindi. Also there is quite difference in Hindi and English paper, hence to be on a safer side you should check the last year question paper as well of both the subjects while preparing for the exam

Hello aspirant,

No, you are not eligible for the IBPS Clerk 2023 examination. The lowest age for the IBPS clerk test is 20 years, and the maximum age is 28 years. To be eligible, candidates must hold a college or university degree in any discipline. Students who are in their final year of study are ineligible to participate in the recruitment process.
