The Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Assistant credential is an entry-level recruitment examination for Nepal's central bank, aimed at candidates seeking assistant-level posts in the bank's central office in Baluwatar, Kathmandu, or its provincial offices. The NRB describes itself on its official site as "the Central Bank of Nepal", and its published structure - departments, divisions, units and provincial offices - indicates the breadth of work an assistant may support.
