I have been smoking since last 4 years 4-5 cigarettes per day. Do I have to worry to clear the medical examination especially the chest x-ray for the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS)?

Let me tell you that there is no any procedure of medical test in Bank examination.

Examination procedures are:-
Preliminary
Mains
Interview

Smoking is not a good habit.
But you have to know all criteria followed for selection.
There is no any medical test followed for recruitment in Banks either nationalized or private.

Selection procedures are mentioned below:-
Prelims
Mains
Interview

Eligibility criteria required are listed below:-
Aspirants must be a graduation degree holder.
Aspirants age should be 21 years to 30 years.
Aspirants must have a minimum of 50% marks in graduation.

No need to worry about the habit of smoking especially pertaining to IBPS because there is no such limitation mentioned in the IBPS notification because there will Preliminary examination and if you clear this exam you will be allowed for writing the mains examination and if you clear this round then you will be having an interview session and if you clear all these rounds then you will have the physical test but they will not disqualify you for the test you have mentioned.
Any how try to give up the bad habit of smoking as it is injurious to your health.
