Key Dates and Vacancy Overview
The IBPS PO Mains 2025 exam took place on October 12 . This examination serves as a central component of the Common Recruitment Process (CRP) managed by IBPS. The CRP establishes a standardized system to recruit personnel for a consortium of public sector banks, ensuring uniform selection nationwide. Prior to the Mains exam, IBPS released the results for the IBPS PO Prelims in September . Only candidates who successfully qualified in the preliminary examination were eligible to proceed to the Mains stage, highlighting the multi-faceted selection approach.

The Structured Selection Process
The journey to becoming an IBPS PO involves a rigorous three-tier selection process. It begins with the preliminary examination, serving as an initial screening test. Candidates who clear the preliminary stage then advance to the main examination. The final stage comprises a comprehensive personal interview, where IBPS assesses candidates’ communication skills, general knowledge, and banking aptitude. Successful qualification in all three stages—Prelims, Mains, and Interview—is mandatory for final selection and placement in participating banks.
The IBPS PO Mains examination tested a broad range of skills. It comprised 145 questions , totaling 200 marks . This exam covers subjects relevant to banking, including general awareness, analytical ability, and English language proficiency. Candidates who have successfully cleared the Mains examination will receive an invitation for a personality test. This test is a mandatory component of the selection process. However, IBPS has clarified that the personality test itself is “non-qualifying in nature,” meaning it does not carry separate marks for qualification but remains essential for overall assessment.
Cut-Offs and Final Selection Procedures
Specific cut-off marks determine the shortlisting process for personality tests and final interviews. IBPS decides these cut-offs, taking into account the number of available vacancies and the overall performance of candidates. This objective aims to select the most suitable candidates for the limited posts. According to IBPS guidelines, IBPS will not share individual scores from the Online Main examination with candidates shortlisted for the personality test and interview prior to the completion of the entire interview process. This policy ensures that the interview panel’s assessment remains independent and focused solely on the candidate’s performance during the interview. Final selections and allocation to banks will occur only after all stages, including the interview, successfully conclude.
