The Bank of India (BOI), through its Recruitment Division, Human Resources Department, Head Office, Mumbai, has released the much-awaited Reserve List-I of candidates provisionally selected and allotted by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) under the Recruitment Process 2026-27 through IBPS CRP PO/MT-XV. The official web announcement is dated 01 June 2026, and the accompanying Annexure-A lists 41 candidates provisionally selected for the post of Probationary Officer / Management Trainee (PO/MT), each with an allotted Medical Zone.

This is a significant update for aspirants who appeared in the IBPS Common Recruitment Process (CRP) for PO/MT-XV. A Reserve List is drawn up after the main selection list, and candidates appearing in it are now in line for joining Bank of India, subject to fulfilling all eligibility conditions and completing the pre-recruitment formalities. Alongside the main reserve list, one candidate's candidature has been kept in abeyance (Annexure-B), pending submission of documents to conclusively prove eligibility.

What Is a Reserve List in IBPS PO Recruitment?

To understand the significance of this announcement, it helps to understand how the IBPS CRP process and reserve lists work. The IBPS conducts a Common Recruitment Process (CRP) for Probationary Officers and Management Trainees across participating public sector banks each year. Candidates clear a Preliminary Examination, then a Main Examination, and finally a Common Interview. Based on the combined scores, IBPS prepares a merit list and provisionally allots successful candidates to participating banks according to their preferences, vacancies, category, and merit.

After the initial allotment, banks publish their main selection lists. However, not every selected candidate joins — some may decline the offer, fail to meet eligibility on verification, opt for another bank or job, or not complete formalities. To fill these gaps, IBPS prepares Reserve Lists of candidates who were next in merit. When a vacancy arises, candidates from the reserve list are allotted in order. The Reserve List-I released by Bank of India on 01 June 2026 reflects exactly this process — these 41 candidates have now been provisionally allotted to BOI and will proceed to the pre-recruitment formalities stage.

It is important to note that selection from the reserve list is provisional. As the official note states, selection is "subject to compliance of eligibility criteria as per IBPS notice dated 01.07.2025 and also successful completion of pre-recruitment formalities."

Annexure-A — List of 41 Provisionally Selected Candidates (Reserve List-I)

The Annexure-A document lists the candidates provisionally selected and allotted by IBPS along with the Medical Zone allotted to each. Candidates can identify themselves by matching their Roll Number and Registration Number. Below is the full list as published.

Candidates are advised to carefully verify both their Roll Number and Registration Number against this list, as both must match. The Medical Zone allotted indicates the city/region where the candidate's pre-recruitment medical examination is likely to be conducted.

Annexure-B — Candidature Kept in Abeyance

In addition to the 41 selected candidates, the Annexure-B document lists one candidate whose candidature has been kept in abeyance. This means the candidate's selection is on hold pending the resolution of an eligibility matter.

As per the official note, the candidate whose candidature is kept in abeyance "has to reply to email sent to personal email id on 29.05.2026 within 7 working days for submission of documents to conclusively prove their eligibility criteria as per IBPS notification dated 01.07.2025." Failure to respond within the stipulated period may affect the candidate's selection status. The medical zone for this candidate will be allotted only after the candidature is cleared from abeyance.

Medical Zones Distribution (Overview)

The 41 selected candidates have been allotted medical zones spread across several states, reflecting the pan-India nature of the IBPS CRP and Bank of India's branch network. The zones appearing in the list include Bokaro, Delhi NCR, New Delhi, Hubballi-Dharwad, Bhopal, Jaipur, Khandwa, Ludhiana, Kanpur, Ghaziabad, Patna, Gaya, Dhanbad, Guwahati, Visakhapatnam, Kolkata, Bhagalpur, Siliguri, Dehradun, Hardoi, Vidarbha, Coimbatore, Gorakhpur, Muzaffarpur, and Amritsar. Ludhiana and Bokaro feature among the more frequently allotted zones in this particular list. Candidates should treat the allotted zone as the location for their pre-recruitment medical formalities and await individual communication for exact venue and date.

Pre-Recruitment Formalities — What Happens Next

According to the official web announcement dated 01 June 2026, Bank of India will communicate the pre-recruitment formalities to each selected candidate individually on their registered phone number, email, or correspondence address — exactly as submitted at the time of application — latest by 15 June 2026. The Bank has explicitly stated that requests for providing this information at an alternate email ID or address will not be entertained.

This means candidates should immediately ensure that the contact details they registered with IBPS are active and monitored. Candidates should regularly check their email inbox (including spam/junk folders), keep their registered mobile number reachable, and watch their postal correspondence. The pre-recruitment formalities typically involve document verification, medical examination at the allotted zone, biometric and identity verification, and submission of original certificates. Only after the successful completion of these formalities will the provisional selection be confirmed.

Eligibility & Salary Context

While this announcement is a selection list rather than a fresh recruitment notification, candidates and aspirants often look for the underlying eligibility and pay context of the IBPS PO/MT post. The base eligibility for IBPS CRP PO/MT is graduation in any discipline from a recognised university, as detailed in the IBPS reference notice dated 01 July 2025. The Probationary Officer / Management Trainee role in public sector banks is at the Junior Management Grade Scale-I (JMGS-I), with a revised basic pay starting around ₹48,480 per month (as per the latest bank pay revision), along with dearness allowance, house rent allowance, and other benefits, taking the gross emoluments substantially higher depending on posting location. Candidates should refer to Bank of India's and IBPS's official documents for the precise pay structure applicable at the time of joining.
