Around nineteen Indian public sector banks have decided to conduct a common entrance test to select suitable candidates for filling existing/future vaccines in their firms. The exam will be conducted under a platform designed by IBPS, and the scores will have validity for one year from the date of result. The first IBPS exam is scheduled on September 18 2011 and applications will be accepted until August 3.
The IBPS exam is planned as a qualifying test to pre-select probationary officers and management trainees in different banking cadres. Rather than conducting separate exams bank can now track down a pool of talent and fine tune it again based on their benchmarks. IBPS scores (CWE score) will be mandatory for all upcoming recruitment in the participating banks. Final merit of the banking aspirants will be decided to the basis of CWE score, educational qualification, age, and preference in interview and group decisions. Each bank will decide the minimum score required for their intakes.

State Bank group (SBI, SBT, SBM, SBH, SBP), HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Federal Bank, South Indian Bank, Axis Bank, Yes Bank, IDBI Bank, Kotak Mahindra and some other private sector banks are not a part of this common bank entrance test. However, we can expect the State Banks to join the league any time soon. As we pointed out before the CWE scores will have a validity for one year. That means the coming exam on September is valid throughout 2011- 2012 and candidates can apply for all vacancies in this period.
IBPS Exam pattern and syllabus:
IBPS will organize a written examination comprising Objective and Descriptive papers. Objective section carries 225 marks and should be completed in 150 minutes. The 250 questions in this section will include Verbal/Numeric Reasoning, General English, questions related to Banking/Insurance/Investment sector, Computers, and typical quantitative aptitude. The Descriptive section (60 minute) will analyze the English writing caliber of the candidate, and it carries 25 marks. We will get more details the Syllabus and question pattern after the first IBPS exam.
IBPS exam centers, participating banks, eligibility and requirements.
Any Indian national with a valid degree can appear for IBPS Exam if he or she is in the age group 20-30 as of July 2011. Reservation is available SC/ST/OBC/ handicapped contestants. The application is only accepted through the official IBPS website.

IBPS site is throwing some errors as thousands of people are trying to apply for the test at the same time. I request you guys to prepare all documents and check the direct link ( given above) at late night. Some commentators have already posted about preparing a signature for uploading. Please browse through the comments (check below) to know more. I’m taking time to go through your comments (there are a lot actually). I personally thank all commentators who have helped others.
IBPS exam preparation Book/Study material:
Any bank PO exam guide can be used to prepare for the IBPS test. One book we personally recommend to all our friends and readers, is the Bank PO/MT Solved Papers For Common Written Examination 2011 published by Kiran Prakashan (English/Hindi). This book contains questions from various PO exams conducted from 2003-2011 and its solutions. You can buy this book online here. This site is trusted by thousands of people, and you can expect the book in your hands within 3-4 days after completing the order. If the book is not in stock, search for the term “Bank PO exam” in the box provided on their website- you’ll find some good alternatives.

Hi Praveen,
Pattern will be same as that of other bank PO exams.
You can pay the exam fees at any bank participating in CWE. They will give you a receipt of the NEFT transaction which includes details like URT number, bank name, IFSC code, branch location, etc. All these details should be use to fill the IBPS online application form.
THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
YAR
plese send the degree percentage of marks
Will there be a separate CWE for clerk recruitment. If yes, how soon?
There is no separate test. IBPS CWE is for recruiting candidate to clerical and PO posts.
But in the advertisement it is mentioned that the recruitment is for the post of probationary officer /management trainee . no where it is mentioned that the recruitment is for clerical staff also !
SIR PLEASE TELL ME LIST OF YOUR BANK WHERE WE CAN DEPOSIT CHALLAN
Just go to any branch of the 19 banks that are using in IBPS system and send application fee to the following account using NEFT.
Collect and keep your receipt. For more details download the notification form given above.

At this point, it’s difficult to suggest all-in-one study material for IBPS. We hope that the publishers will release guides soon after the first exam. For the time being, you can depend on the analytical and logical reasoning books designed for CAT, IIBF’s books (Indian Institute of Banking and Finance) related to finance, insurance, banking, etc. Also refer the business section of your newspaper.

IBPS exam is a preliminary, single window method to select talented candidates for the banking sector. You have to pay only once since its a common entrance test. Later, the participating banks ( download the notification to get the list) will use this score+ some other parameters ( work experience, GD, Interview performance, academics, etc.) to find the right applicants.

Is there any cutoff marks or is there any minimum marks limit for qualification.
Currently, a valid degree (pass) in any stream is the basic requirement for appearing IBPS Exam 2011. However, Banks may set their own criteria for choosing candidates with the CWE or IBPS exam score. So apart from this they would consider performance in GD, interview, academic track record or experience for calculating final merit.
