Next Steps for Shortlisted Candidates

Following the declaration of the Phase III result for Local Bank Officer (LBO) Recruitment 2026 on October 21, 2026, the 587 provisionally shortlisted candidates are required to undergo a Language Proficiency Test (LPT).

Successful completion of the LPT is a prerequisite for the subsequent stage of the selection process.

After the Language Proficiency Test, shortlisted candidates will proceed to document verification.
