NABARD Development Assistant 2026: Mains Result Out, LPT Awaited

The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has declared the Mains examination result for its Development Assistant 2026 recruitment on 1 July 2026. Candidates who qualify move to the next stage, which includes a Language Proficiency Test (LPT) for those who did not study the official language of their applied state or region at the Class 10 or 12 level. The LPT is qualifying in nature — candidates need only clear a minimum standard rather than compete on marks — and is a mandatory step for final selection unless the candidate can submit Class 10 or 12 mark sheets showing the relevant regional language as a subject. NABARD has not yet announced the exact LPT date. Candidates are advised to keep checking the official NABARD careers page regularly for the schedule, along with venue and reporting-time details once released.
