    There is no restriction being posed by RBI for Distance or Open Learning students, that they cannot apply. Any citizen of India who aspires to apply for RBI Grade B can do so after fulfilling the minimum eligibility requirements for the desired post. IGNOU graduate can crack any exam including IAS and RBI Grade B if he is intelligent. Coming to hard fact, IGNOU and Open Universities are too liberal and follow the policy of ALL PASS. Obviously the level of knowledge is low, he /she has to do more hard work.

    Yes, RBI accepts the IGNOU degree for the RBI Grade B (general) officer position. As per the education requirement of the RBI you need to have any one of the following:
    1. A Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 60% from any recognised university
    2. A Masters degree with minimum 55% from any recognised university
    3. The equivalent CGPA to this percentage criteria is 6.75 in your graduate degree. Since IGNOU is a recognised university under the UGC, its degrees are accepted for most government jobs.
