Details Printed on the IBPS PO Call Letter
Every detail on the call letter must match your application form. If any of the following is printed wrongly, write to IBPS through the candidate grievance system immediately rather than carrying a corrected copy of your own to the centre.
| Candidate’s name, father’s or mother’s name and date of birth |
| Registration number and roll number |
| Photograph and signature uploaded during the application |
| Examination date and shift timing |
| Reporting time and gate closing time |
| Name, address and code of the examination centre |
| Exam day instructions and the space for the invigilator’s signature |
Documents Required at the Examination Centre
Candidates who reach the centre without a printed call letter and a valid original photo identity proof are not allowed to sit for the examination. Keep the following ready a day before the exam:
| Printed copy of the IBPS PO Main call letter with a photograph pasted in the space provided |
| Authenticated/stamped Preliminary Examination call letter and authenticated/stamped photocopy of photo identity proof |
| Original photo identity proof: PAN card, Aadhaar card, Voter ID, Passport or Driving Licence |
| A photocopy of the same identity proof, to be submitted at the centre |
| Passport-size photograph identical to the one uploaded in the application form |
| Aadhaar card for biometric authentication and a ball-point pen |
| Printed online scribe declaration, UDID card/disability certificate and other prescribed certificates, where applicable; the scribe must carry the original educational certificate uploaded with the declaration |
Note: The name on the identity proof must match the name on the call letter exactly. A ration card and a learner’s driving licence are not accepted as valid identity proof. Candidates whose name has changed after marriage should carry the original marriage certificate, gazette notification or affidavit along with the original identity proof.
Examination Centre Instructions
Reporting time is printed on the call letter and is usually well ahead of the start of the test, because biometric verification, photograph capture and seat allotment take time at a centre handling several hundred candidates. Entry is closed at the gate closing time mentioned on the call letter, and latecomers are not admitted even by a few minutes.
Mobile phones, watches, physical calculators, Bluetooth devices, books and any written material are not permitted inside the examination hall, and most centres do not have a facility to store them. Candidates cannot leave the hall before the shift ends, so plan the journey and the meal before the exam accordingly. Since the centre is allotted only through the call letter, candidates travelling to another city should locate the venue a day earlier to avoid confusion on the morning of the exam.
IBPS PO Main Exam Pattern 2026
The Main Examination consists of an objective test for 200 marks and a Descriptive Paper for 25 marks. Each objective section is separately timed. The 30-minute Descriptive Paper follows immediately after the objective test, and candidates must type their answers on the computer.
| Section | Questions | Marks | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reasoning | 40 | 60 | 45 minutes |
| General/ Economy/ Banking/ Digital/ Financial Awareness including RBI circulars | 50 | 60 | 35 minutes |
| English Language | 40 | 20 | 35 minutes |
| Data Analysis & Interpretation | 40 | 60 | 45 minutes |
| Descriptive Paper (Essay and Comprehension) | 2 | 25 | 30 minutes |
| Total | 172 | 225 | 190 minutes |
For each wrong answer in the objective tests, one-fourth of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted. There is no penalty for unanswered questions. Candidates must obtain the minimum score in each test and the minimum total score to be considered for shortlisting for the personality test and interview.
An in-built on-screen calculator is permitted for Data Analysis & Interpretation. Physical calculators are not allowed. Eligible candidates receive 20 minutes of compensatory time for every hour of examination. Spellcheck is not available for the Descriptive Paper.
