Provisional Allotment for 2026-27 Recruitment Cycle
IBPS has completed the provisional allotment process. This step assigns provisionally selected individuals to various participating public sector banks. Allotments are based on post-wise and category-wise vacancies announced for the 2026-27 recruitment cycle. This provisional status means the offer is conditional. It requires further verification processes.
The recruitment process for these banking roles is multi-staged. It includes a preliminary examination, a main examination, and a final interview round. Each stage assesses candidate aptitude and suitability.
IBPS PO, SO Examination Timeline 2025
The IBPS PO and SO recruitment process involved several assessment dates. Preliminary exams served as the initial screening. The mains exam evaluated deeper knowledge and skills. Key dates for the 2025 examinations were:
- IBPS PO Prelims Exam: August 17, 23, and 24, 2025
- IBPS PO Mains Exam: October 12, 2025
The interview round followed the mains exam. It assessed candidates’ communication and general awareness. Performance across these stages collectively determined the final selection outcome.
Score Weightage and Final Selection Process
The final merit list and provisional bank allotments depend on a weighted score. IBPS applies a specific percentage to the Mains examination and interview round:
- Mains Examination: Carries 80 percent of the total weightage.
- Interview Round: Accounts for 20 percent of the total weightage.
IBPS compiles a category-wise final merit list using these combined scores. Candidates are provisionally allocated to banks based on their rank and preferences. This provisional allocation is not final. It is contingent upon successful document verification and meeting all eligibility criteria set by IBPS and the allotted bank. Discrepancies during verification can lead to cancellation of candidature.
