🎯 What the Result Means
Clearing the preliminary stage is just the first milestone. The IBPS PO selection process is structured in three phases:
- Prelims (Objective Test)
- Mains (Objective + Descriptive Test)
- Interview Round
Candidates who have cleared the prelims will now proceed to the mains examination, which is scheduled for October 12, 2025. The mains will be significantly tougher, not just in terms of difficulty level but also in terms of the weightage it carries in the final selection.
📊 Cut-Offs and Scorecards
While the official category-wise cut-offs for 2025 are not yet released, IBPS has confirmed that the data will be published in the first week of October along with individual scorecards.
For perspective, here are the IBPS PO Prelims 2024 cut-offs:
- General: ~48.50
- OBC: ~48.50
- SC: ~48
- ST: ~41
- EWS: ~48.50
This year, experts predict a slight increase in cut-offs due to the moderate level of the paper and high number of test-takers. Aspirants should closely track the official website to confirm once IBPS releases the official numbers.
