What will a career in NABARD be like? NABARD offers a fulfilling career. You will be posted to the regional offices which are in state capitals. In addition to this you might be posted as DDM ( District Development Manager ) in any district of India. The tenure as DDM is the most rewarding one as you get involved in ground level activities. Right now one should focus on cracking the exam rather than thinking about the career prospects in NABARD. Needless to say that NABARD is an apex institution and a regulator so you won't regret joining/working for NABARD. The perks and remunerations are at par with RBI (read one of the best in the financial industry). check NABARD Grade A & B Career

How is it different from working in RBI? NABARD was a part of RBI before 1982 and hence shares the same work culture as RBI. In RBI you get to work in many more aspects of banking ( e.g. forex, banker for the govt, etc ), however in NABARD you would be working mainly for upliftment of agriculture and rural areas (which is a privilege in itself).

Are NABARD officers posted in rural areas? 
NO. At the most NABARD officers are posted at district level and that too once in his/her life ( there are many people who never went for DDM posting in their entire life). Usually Officers are posted at Regional Offices which are in state capitals only.
