The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has officially released the results for the Young Professionals Programme (On Contract) for the 2025-26 cycle. This announcement includes two distinct lists: a Select List containing the registration numbers of candidates provisionally chosen for the programme, and a Wait List of candidates kept on standby. The publication of these results marks a significant milestone in the recruitment process, allowing applicants to verify their status. Candidates are identified in these documents solely by their unique registration numbers to maintain privacy. The bank has indicated that further instructions and communication regarding the next steps will be provided directly to the selected individuals. This result update is based on the official documentation provided by NABARD, ensuring transparency for all participants who applied during the December 2025 to January 2026 application window. Applicants are encouraged to review the official PDFs to confirm their inclusion in either the primary selection or the standby list.

As per the original notification, the age limit was calculated with a cut-off date of 01 November 2025.

The selection process for the NABARD Young Professionals Programme involved a rigorous evaluation of applications submitted by candidates. Following the initial screening, the bank prepared a merit-based Select List and a Wait List. The final selection was based on the criteria established by NABARD for this contract-based engagement. Selected candidates will receive individual communication from the bank regarding the subsequent stages of the programme, including document verification and onboarding procedures.

The selection for the Young Professionals Programme was conducted based on the evaluation of candidate profiles and qualifications as per the recruitment notification. No formal written examination pattern was specified for this particular contract-based role.

The application fee details were specified in the original recruitment notification published in December 2025. Candidates were required to pay the fee through the online portal during the application window.
