Frequently asked questions
What is a corrigendum, and does it change my IBPS SO application?
A corrigendum is a formal amendment to a notice already published. It carries the same authority as the document it amends, and it replaces the corrected part rather than sitting alongside it, so the original notice read on its own is out of date from the moment a corrigendum issues. Corrigenda most often revise vacancy counts, eligibility conditions, dates or the examination scheme. Read it against the original IBPS SO notification and check specifically whether anything it changes affects eligibility you have already relied on.
What is the IBPS SO exam pattern?
The Prelims stage is 150 questions for 125 marks in 120 minutes, covering English Language, Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude. Wrong answers are penalised 0.25 per question. Every figure is taken from the official source linked on the pattern page and carries the date it was last checked.
Are there free IBPS SO mock tests?
Yes. There are 26 free tests for IBPS SO on TakeMockTest, with no sign-up and no paywall. Each is marked to the exam's own scheme rather than a flat one mark per question, so the score you see reflects what the same attempt would earn in the real paper.
How is this update verified, and how current is it?
This summary was written from Institute of Banking Personnel Selection's own published notice, which is linked on this page, and it records the date that source was last checked rather than the date this page was generated. That is the limit of the claim: it says the notice read as summarised on that date. Conducting bodies revise dates, vacancy counts and eligibility conditions without notice, so confirm anything you are about to act on against the official source before you act.
