The eligibility to appear IBPS examination is a bachelor’s degree from the recognised university.

The upper age limit is 28 years for general category.

For Other Backward Classes 28+3 years and for SC/St it will be 28+5 years.

The IBPS is conducting examination for the appointment of Bank Clerk posts.

They will conduct the Common Written Examination (CWE) followed by Interview and final placement.

The aspirant can appear for PO posts where the eligibility is graduation and the maximum age limit is 30 years.

The upper age limit for OBC is 30+3 years and SC/ST will be 30+5 years.

For a general category candidate the age limit for bank clerk post is 18 to 28 years according to IBPS eligibility criteria. There is age relaxation available for candidates who belong to reserved category.

Therefore, you have chance of appearing for this exam only when you belong to a reserved category. If you are general then no chance of appearing.
