No, you are not eligible to apply for IBPS Examination. Only Pass out candidates are eligible to apply for IBPS Examination. So, first finish your degree course after completing degree course. You are definitely eligible to apply for IBPS Examination. Let's see the eligibility criteria for IBPS Examination.

IBPS Probationary Officer :-

Absolutely NO, you are not at all Eligible to apply for IBPS Recruitments being a 18 years old candidate. Yes, the minimum age required to be eligible for IBPS Bank Recruitments is "20 years".

Why are you not eligible now ?

>> Right now, you are not eligible to apply for IBPS Recruitments. The reasons are given below,

* Minimum age required to be eligible for IBPS Recruitments is "20" years, whereas you are of 18 years old candidates and hence you are not eligible.

* Minimum Education qualification required is "Graduation", since you are still pursuing B.Com (1st year) you did not meet the required eligibility criteria.

So I suggest you to start preparation for Bank Exams from now onwards to get command over Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, English, Computer Awareness and General Awareness Sections. You can apply for IBPS Recruitments, when you will be in B.Com 3rd year.
