and be sufficiently high in the merit to be considered for subsequent provisional allotment
process, details of which will be made available subsequently on authorised IBPS website
www.ibps.in.
On completion of the Main Examination, depending on the state/UT wise vacancies to be
filled in during the financial year 2024-25 based on the business needs of the Participating
Banks and as reported to IBPS, candidates shortlisted will be provisionally allotted to one of
the Participating Banks, based on merit-cum-preference keeping in view the spirit of Govt.
Guidelines on reservation policy, various guidelines issued by Govt. of India/Others from time
to time, administrative exigency, etc. Vacancies given in this notification are indicative.
Provisional allotment shall be done on the basis of actual vacancies to be reported by the
Participating Banks. Candidates should not claim indicative vacancies as final for the
provisional allotment. No change in the data already registered by the candidate in the online
application form is possible.
A candidate belonging to reserved category, selected on the basis of norms as applicable
to General Category, will be treated at par with a General category candidate. Such own merit candidates belonging to reserved categories who are provisionally allotted under
unreserved (General) category will not be adjusted against a reserved post. However
their original category as registered in the online registration will remain unchanged
and they shall be required to produce their caste certificate as applicable to them
irrespective of their selection under unreserved category. Failure to provide the same
shall debar the candidate from further process.
In the event of two or more candidates having obtained the same score, merit order is decided
as per date of birth (the candidate senior in age is placed before/ above the candidate junior in
age), as per the prevailing practice.
The provisional allotment is subject to the candidate fulfilling the criteria for Participating
Bank and identity verification to the satisfaction of the allotted bank. This does not constitute
an offer of employment. Verification of documents with regard to eligibility criteria will be
carried out by the participating bank. The participating bank will also ascertain Proficiency of
local language (reading, writing and speaking) of the State/UT for the provisionally allotted
candidates. The participating bank reserves the right to cancel the candidature on account of
deficiency of the same. Decision of the participating banks here shall be final and binding
upon the candidates. In case it is detected at any stage of the recruitment process that, the
candidate does not satisfy the eligibility criteria his/her candidature/ chance in the process
shall stand forfeited.
As the provisional allotment will be made to participating banks on merit cum preference
basis, once the provisional allotment is made, no request for change shall be entertained. Any
request for change shall result in cancellation of candidature. Provisional allotment once made
shall be final and binding on the candidate and no further allotment can be requested. Further,
a candidate who is provisionally allotted will forfeit his/her candidature/ chance for the
process if he/she does not avail the offer of appointment from the Participating Bank.
Issuance of offer of appointment including terms and conditions, formalities for verification,
joining etc. is solely the decision of the Participating Banks and shall be final and binding.
IBPS shall have no role therein. Any queries in this regard shall be directed to the participating
banks only. A reserve list to the extent of approximately 10 percent of the vacancies under
each category may be kept, subject to the availability of candidates. This does not guarantee
provisional allotment to/recruitment by the Participating Banks. In the event of Participating
Banks providing further vacancies during April 2024-March 2025 at different intervals,
provisional allotment may be carried out three to four times for the candidates in the reserve
list, based on the vacancies provided by some or any of the participating banks at different
intervals during the period. However, if no vacancy is furnished by the Participating Banks
owing to exigencies or otherwise during the validity period the candidates under the reserve
list will not be considered for provisional allotment. The reserve list will expire automatically
on 31.03.2025 without any notice. Candidates who are not provisionally allotted or not in the
reserve list will not be considered for any further process under CRP Clerks- XIII for
vacancies for 2024-25.
IBPS is not responsible in case the Participating Banks do not notify sufficient
vacancies to exhaust the reserve list. Similarly, neither the Participating Banks nor
IBPS is bound to notify every vacancy that may arise in any Participating Bank during
pendency of reserve list. IBPS is not responsible for the recruitment of candidates, and
will only act upon the vacancies notified by the Participating Banks in that regard
within the specified period.

the selected candidates. However IBPS reserves the right to cancel, reallot Bank-wise
