The preliminary examination will test the candidate’s qualifying ability and the qualified candidates will take the finals or Main examination that is slated on November 26, 2017 (Sunday). Those who clear the Main exam and get shortlisted will be invited for interviews that would be conducted by the banks (participating in the IBPS recruitment). The nodal banks in every state and Union Territories will receive assistance from the IBPS in order to co-ordinate the interview phase. A candidate who seeks to join any of the banks that participate in the IBSC recruitment will have to register for the Common Recruitment Process. Note it down that online registration will start in July 2017.
