Selection

Preliminary: the candidate must qualify in each of the three tests. IBPS decides the cut-off.
Main: a minimum score in each test and a minimum total are required. Cut-offs depend on vacancies.
A wrong objective answer deducts one-fourth (0.25) of the marks assigned to that question. A blank answer has no penalty. This applies to both Preliminary and Main.
Interview is 100 marks. Minimum qualifying marks are not less than 40%, and not less than 35% for SC, ST, OBC, and PwBD candidates.
Online Main and interview are weighted 80:20. The candidate must qualify both and stand high enough in the combined merit for provisional allotment.

Exam overview

IBPS PO is the probationary officer exam conducted by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection. Candidates usually sit it across more than one stage.

Who this paper is for

Students use a IBPS PO mock to sit a full paper against the clock, submit it, and read the score for that attempt. Coaching institutes use the same kind of paper with a batch: they assign the assessment, students take it in the batch window, and the institute reviews the scores after submit.

Institute of Banking Personnel Selection is the body associated with IBPS PO. Mahaabhyas is the practice workspace. The official notification, the application form, and the result are published by that body, not by this page.

How to use mock tests

Create a free student account or sign in. Open the assigned or practice test for IBPS PO. Read the instructions on the attempt screen, start the clock, and move through the questions. Submit when you finish or when the timer ends. The score for that attempt is then available to review.

That score is the result of the paper you just took on Mahaabhyas. It is not an official rank, a cutoff, or a selection list. Use it to see what you answered and what to practice next.

Start with one complete paper so you know how long the sitting feels. On later papers, practice one part at a time when the assigned test is split into sections, then return to a full paper. After each submit, review the questions you missed before you open another paper. Repeating that loop — sit, submit, review — is the practice this page is for.

An institute can run the same loop for a whole batch and compare scores inside the batch. No vacancy, application date, or cutoff is listed here. Those are announced by Institute of Banking Personnel Selection.

A student account is free to create. No price is listed on this page. Institutes register their own account, assign the assessment, and review batch scores from the institute portal.

Section-wise practice

When a IBPS PO paper is divided into parts, use a section attempt to train one part, then a full attempt to train the move between parts and the clock. Keep the review on the questions you got wrong and the ones that took the longest.

Do not treat one mock score as a prediction of an official IBPS PO result. The category hub lists the other papers grouped with IBPS PO.
