About this exam
The IBPS Clerk examination recruits Customer Service Associates (CSA) — the clerical cadre — across 11 participating public sector banks through a Common Recruitment Process. This is the 16th edition (CRP CSA-XVI). Unlike IBPS PO, there is no Interview stage: selection is purely Prelims (qualifying) followed by Mains (scored), with the Mains-only result forming final merit and bank-wise provisional allotment. The exam consistently carries the highest vacancy count among IBPS exams, with the prior cycle's figure revised upward from 13,533 to 15,736 — UP state alone accounting for the largest single-state share at 2,781 posts. Graduates from any academic stream are eligible, with no prior banking experience required.
