The NABARD Grade A result is declared at three distinct stages corresponding to each selection phase: Phase 1 result (shortlist for Phase 2), Phase 2 result (shortlist for interview), and the final merit list (appointment offers). Each result is published on the official NABARD website at nabard.org, and candidates must actively monitor the website since NABARD does not send individual result notifications for all stages.
This page covers how to check each result, what the result documents contain, the result timeline based on recent cycles, marks verification options, and what to do after each result.

NABARD publishes the Phase 1 result as a PDF document listing roll numbers of shortlisted candidates. Individual scorecards showing marks are typically not released at the Phase 1 stage.
The Phase 1 result PDF is typically organized category-wise (General, OBC, EWS, SC, ST, PwBD) within each stream. Each category has a separate list of shortlisted roll numbers.
| Information Details | |
| Shortlisted Roll Numbers | Listed category-wise and stream-wise |
| Cutoff Marks (sometimes published separately) | Merit section cutoff for each category |
| Number of Candidates Shortlisted | Total count per stream and category |
| Phase 2 Exam Date | Specified or referenced to a separate notification |
Phase 2 result is published on nabard.org as a PDF of roll numbers shortlisted for the interview. NABARD publishes individual Phase 2 scorecards only for candidates who are shortlisted for the interview, not for all Phase 2 participants.
For shortlisted candidates, NABARD issues an interview call letter specifying the interview date, time, and venue. The call letter serves as confirmation of shortlisting.
The final merit list is the definitive list of candidates selected for appointment as Assistant Manager (Grade A) in NABARD. It is published after the interview process is complete and marks are consolidated.
The final merit list typically includes:
NABARD provides individual scorecards for Phase 2 and the final selection stage. These are available through the NABARD career portal:

NABARD typically publishes the Phase 1 merit section cutoff (score out of 100) alongside the Phase 1 result PDF. This allows candidates who were not shortlisted to understand where their score fell relative to the cutoff.

| Year Approximate Phase 1 Cutoff (General/UR) | |
| 2025 | To be released |

NABARD does not have a formal marks verification facility comparable to what ICAI provides for CA examinations. However, candidates can seek information about their marks through the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005.

| Fee | Rs. 10 (by postal order or demand draft) |

| Online RTI | Available through RTI Online portal at rtionline.gov.in |
| Response Time | 30 days from receipt of application |
RTI requests for Phase 2 marks and interview marks have been accepted and responded to by NABARD in previous cycles. This is a transparent mechanism available to all candidates.
