About IBPS Clerk

CRP-CSA-XVI recruits Customer Service Associates (clerical cadre) for vacancies of 2027-28 in eleven participating public sector banks. A candidate applies for vacancies in one State or Union Territory only. The notification is dated 1 August 2026; a corrigendum of 29 September 2026 updates the indicative vacancies and leaves every other condition unchanged.

The online examination has two phases. The Preliminary Examination is an objective test of 100 questions and 100 marks in 60 minutes: English Language (30 questions, 30 marks, 20 minutes, in English), Numerical Ability (35 questions, 35 marks, 20 minutes) and Reasoning Ability (35 questions, 35 marks, 20 minutes). Each test is separately timed. A candidate must reach the cut-off IBPS sets in each of the three tests to be shortlisted for the main exam. A wrong answer costs one fourth of the marks assigned to that question; a blank answer costs nothing.

The Main Examination is an objective test of 160 questions and 200 marks in 125 minutes, and each test is separately timed: General/Financial Awareness (40 questions, 50 marks, 20 minutes), General English (40 questions, 40 marks, 35 minutes, in English), Reasoning Ability (40 questions, 60 marks, 35 minutes) and Quantitative Aptitude (40 questions, 50 marks, 35 minutes). The mains table is marked 'not by sequence'. Only main-exam marks go into the final merit list. Those marks, out of 200, are converted out of 100 for provisional allotment. Where more than one session is held, corrected scores are normalised by the equi-percentile method and taken to two decimal places.

A candidate must be a graduate in any discipline from a recognised university as on 21 August 2026, and must have a working knowledge of computers. Age is 20 to 28 years as on 1 August 2026 (born not earlier than 2 August 1998 and not later than 1 August 2006), with the relaxations in the notice. Candidates need the specified local language of the State or UT they apply for. Those who cannot show a Class 10 or higher certificate in that language take a qualifying Local Language Proficiency Test after the main exam and before joining.
