About IBPS PO

IBPS conducts the Common Recruitment Process (CRP PO/MT) for Probationary Officer / Management Trainee posts in participating public sector banks. The detailed notification for CRP PO/MT-XVI, dated 30 June 2026, is for vacancies of 2027-28. The participating banks named in that notice are Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra, Canara Bank, Central Bank of India, Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Punjab National Bank, Punjab & Sind Bank, UCO Bank and Union Bank of India.

The selection has an online Preliminary examination, an online Main examination (objective tests and a descriptive paper), a mandatory but non-qualifying Personality Test, and a common interview. A graduate in any discipline, with the result declared on or before 21 July 2026, may apply. Age is 20 to 30 years as on 1 July 2026, with the relaxations the notice lists. The basic pay scale in the notice is ₹48480-2000/7-62480-2340/2-67160-2680/7-85920, plus allowances as per the bank.

Prelims is an objective test of 100 questions and 100 marks in 60 minutes, in three separately timed tests of 20 minutes each: English Language (30 questions, 30 marks, English only), Quantitative Aptitude (35 questions, 30 marks, English and Hindi) and Reasoning Ability (35 questions, 40 marks, English and Hindi). A candidate must clear a cut-off in each test. The cut-offs are decided by IBPS.

For a wrong answer, one fourth of the marks assigned to that question is deducted. A question left blank scores nothing. IBPS normalises scores across sessions by the equi-percentile method and takes scores up to two decimal places. Only Main examination marks are used to shortlist for the Personality Test and the interview, and for the final merit list. The interview is of 100 marks, with a minimum of 40% (35% for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD). Main and interview are weighted 80:20.

Mains, as the same notice sets it, is not in a fixed order on screen. The objective tests are separately timed: Reasoning (40 questions, 60 marks, 45 minutes), General/Economy/Banking Awareness and Digital/Financial Awareness including RBI circulars (50 questions, 60 marks, 35 minutes), English Language (40 questions, 20 marks, 35 minutes) and Data Analysis and Interpretation (40 questions, 60 marks, 45 minutes). That is 170 questions and 200 marks in 160 minutes. A descriptive paper of Essay and Comprehension follows: 2 questions, 25 marks, 30 minutes, in English. The whole Main examination is 3 hours 10 minutes. There is no Main practice test here yet.
