Frequently asked questions

Is this an official IBPS question paper?

No. It is an independent practice mock containing original questions mapped to the official IBPS PO Prelims syllabus and pattern.

What is the IBPS PO Prelims negative marking scheme?

Each wrong answer deducts one-fourth of that question's marks. Unattempted questions score zero.

Do I need to clear a sectional cutoff in IBPS PO Prelims, or just the overall score?

Both. IBPS PO Prelims has three separately timed sections, English Language, Quantitative Aptitude, and Reasoning Ability, and you must clear the qualifying cutoff in each one individually, not just the combined total.

How many questions are there in IBPS PO Prelims, and how are the marks split?

100 questions for 100 marks in 60 minutes: English Language (30 questions, 30 marks), Quantitative Aptitude (35 questions, 30 marks), and Reasoning Ability (35 questions, 40 marks). The marks are not split evenly across sections even though two of them have the same number of questions.

Do IBPS PO Prelims marks count towards the final selection?

No. Prelims is qualifying only, used to shortlist candidates for Mains. Your final IBPS PO score is based on Mains plus the interview, not on your Prelims marks.
