Admit Card Release Status
The CBI Apprentice Admit Card 2026 went live on 2 July 2026 through Central Bank of India’s recruitment / careers channel. Soft note: if you completed online registration within the notified (and extended) application window, you should be able to log in with registration credentials and download the call letter for the 5 July 2026 CBT.

Exam Schedule — 5 July 2026
The online CBT is on Sunday, 5 July 2026, conducted by BFSI SSC. Soft note: your personal admit card alone shows:
- Reporting time and gate closing
- Shift (if multiple sessions run)
- Exact centre name and address
- Roll / registration identifiers
Treat third-party “shift lists” as unverified. Soft note: reach the lab before reporting time — Sunday traffic near exam hubs can still be heavy.
City / Centre Intimation
For this apprentice drive, exam city and full venue are printed on the admit card PDF downloaded from the bank portal. Soft note: there may not be a long separate city-slip phase like some SSC exams; once the hall ticket is out, that document is your centre intimation.
If a state-wise centre notice appears under Recruitments, read it — but still cross-check against your PDF. Soft note: centre change after admit card issue is generally not available except through rare official corrigenda.
Documents Required at Exam Centre
- Printed copy of CBI Apprentice Admit Card 2026 (digital copies not accepted)
- Original photo ID — Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Passport, Voter ID, or Driving Licence

Ensure the name on your ID proof exactly matches the name on the admit card. Soft note: carry a spare photo in a small envelope if the call letter asks for pasting / attendance sheet use.
