The final merit list for provisional allotment to banks will be prepared using a combined weightage system. The Mains examination will account for 80% of the total score, and the interview will contribute the remaining 20%. Following the announcement of the final merit list, selected candidates will undergo document verification to confirm their eligibility.
Important Details and Pay Scale for IBPS PO
It is important to note that candidates had to secure both the minimum sectional cut-off and the overall cut-off in the mains exam to be shortlisted for the interview. The final cut-offs are determined based on the number of vacancies available.
