Exim Bank Special Recruitment Drive 2026 — 8 Deputy Manager & Manager Backlog Posts

Short Information

Exim Bank has opened a Special Recruitment Drive to fill 8 backlog vacancies — 6 Deputy Manager and 2 Manager posts — reserved entirely for SC, ST and OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates; there is no unreserved vacancy in this drive, so a general-category candidate cannot apply. Both posts need an MBA or equivalent PG in Finance/International Business, or a Chartered Accountant qualification, on top of a full-time graduation — a CA can skip the postgraduate degree requirement if the professional exam and ICAI membership are done. The written exam date is not yet fixed; the Bank says only that it is tentatively expected in November 2026.
