IBPS releases PO prelim results, Clerk admit cards, SO results due

The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection released a flurry of updates this week for multiple recruitment streams, announcing the results of the Probationary Officer preliminary examination on September 26 and issuing admit cards for the Clerk preliminary tests days earlier. At the same time, candidates who sat the Specialist Officer preliminary exam on August 30 are awaiting official answer keys and results as the selection calendar moves into the mains phase for several posts.

IBPS announced the PO prelims result on September 26 on its website, with candidates able to view scorecards by logging in with their registration or roll number and date of birth or password. Shortlisted aspirants who meet both sectional and overall cutoffs will be eligible for the PO mains exam, which will have an objective component and a descriptive section and is scheduled for October. A total of 5,208 vacancies are being filled through the PO recruitment, and 11 public sector banks are participating in the process. IBPS uses normalization to adjust scores across multiple shifts and applies a penalty of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer in objective tests.
