Everything you need to know about this exam to prepare effectively.
Cracking IBPS PO opens doors to officer postings at Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, Punjab National Bank, UCO Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, Central Bank of India, Indian Overseas Bank, Punjab & Sind Bank, and Union Bank of India. The selection process runs in three stages: a one-hour Preliminary screening worth 100 marks, a 200-mark Mains paper that decides merit, and a 100-mark Personal Interview round. Mains and Interview marks are scaled in an 80:20 ratio for the final merit list — a stronger Mains performance is the single biggest selection lever.
IBPS PO recruitment runs as a three-stage screening: a one-hour Preliminary exam worth 100 marks used only for shortlisting, a 200-mark Mains paper (objective + descriptive) that does the heavy lifting on merit, and a 100-mark Personal Interview round. Prelims is qualifying — your prelims score never enters the final merit list. The Mains and Interview rounds are scaled to an 80:20 ratio (160:40 in raw marks) and that scaled total decides your selection. IBPS imposes sectional timing across both stages, so time saved in one section cannot be banked for another. Each section runs on its own clock.
