How is IBPS RRB PO different from regular IBPS PO?

IBPS RRB PO recruits Officer Scale I for Regional Rural Banks specifically, with Prelims testing only Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude (no English section) -- regular IBPS PO recruits for public-sector banks and includes English in Prelims.

Does IBPS RRB PO have an interview stage?

Yes -- unlike IBPS RRB Clerk (Prelims + Mains only, no interview), the PO/Officer Scale I process includes an interview conducted by the Nodal RRB with NABARD and IBPS assistance.
