Frequently asked questions
How do I retrieve my forgotten registration password to download the call letter?
Open the login page on ibps.in and click on the 'Forgot Password' link. Enter your registration number and either your registered mobile number or email address. IBPS sends a provisional password reset directly to your registered contact details within minutes.
What documents must I take to the IBPS Clerk exam hall?
Carry your printed hall ticket with a recent passport photograph pasted on it, the original photo ID proof (such as Aadhaar, PAN card, or Voter ID), a legible photocopy of that same ID, and one additional loose photograph. Ration cards and learner driving licenses are not accepted.
Will IBPS send the Clerk admit card by post or courier?
No. IBPS never sends physical call letters through post or courier services. Every candidate must access the official portal online, log in using their credentials, and generate a paper printout themselves before the download window closes on the final exam date.
What should I check immediately after downloading the call letter?
Inspect your name spelling, roll number, photograph, signature, reporting time, and the exact address of your assigned test centre. If you spot discrepancies between your application confirmation and the call letter, lodge a complaint promptly through the IBPS candidate grievance portal.
Is there negative marking in the IBPS Clerk preliminary exam?
Yes, IBPS deducts one-fourth (0.25) of the marks assigned to a question for every incorrect objective answer. Leaving a question unattempted incurs no penalty. Candidates must also clear sectional timing rules, as each section has a separate 20-minute window.
