Frequently asked questions
Can final-year students apply for IBPS PO or SO positions?
Candidates must possess the requisite degree certificate or mark sheet on or before the prescribed cut-off date stated in the notification. Those who have not completed their degree examinations or are awaiting results by the closing date cannot submit an application.
What is the age relaxation provided for reserved category candidates?
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe applicants receive an upper age relaxation of five years, while Other Backward Classes non-creamy layer candidates get three years. Persons with benchmark disabilities receive ten years of relaxation in accordance with central government regulations.
Is there negative marking in IBPS PO and SO preliminary exams?
Yes, one-fourth or 0.25 of the marks assigned to a question will be deducted for every incorrect response. If a candidate leaves a question blank without marking any answer, no penalty or mark deduction is applied for that question.
What documents are required while submitting the online form?
Applicants must keep digital copies of their passport-size photograph, signature, left thumb impression, and a standard handwritten declaration ready. Proof of educational qualification, caste certificate if applicable, and valid photo identity details must be entered accurately during submission.
Can an applicant apply for both IBPS PO and IBPS SO in the same cycle?
Yes, eligible individuals can apply for both posts separately since the registrations, preliminary examinations, and selection stages run on distinct tracks. Separate application forms and fees must be submitted for each individual post through the official portal.
