Alerts and Updates for IBPS Clerk

IBPS has fixed the Clerk (CRP CSA-XVI) schedule in its tentative calendar for 2026-27: the preliminary examination falls on 10 and 11 October 2026 and the main examination on 27 December 2026. The calendar is tentative and dates can be revised.

The detailed CRP CSA-XVI advertisement, with state-wise vacancies and the application window, is not out as of 11 July 2026. It is expected around August 2026 on ibps.in, covering clerical cadre posts in 11 participating public sector banks.

From this cycle IBPS designates the post as Customer Service Associate (CSA) rather than Clerk. Selection stays a two-stage process, prelims of 100 marks in 60 minutes followed by mains, with no interview, so the mains score alone decides the final merit.
