Candidates will be able to access their scorecards by logging in with their registration number and password or date of birth. The prelims examination serves as the first stage of the recruitment process for the post of Specialist Officers across various nationalized banks in India.

The IBPS SO exam is one of the most prestigious banking recruitment exams in the country, offering roles such as IT Officer, Agriculture Field Officer, Law Officer, HR/Personnel Officer, Marketing Officer, and Rajbhasha Adhikari. The 2025 recruitment cycle has seen a record number of applicants, highlighting the growing interest in specialized banking careers.

 What’s Next for Candidates?

Candidates who have successfully cleared the prelims will now be eligible to appear for the IBPS SO Mains Examination, which is expected to be conducted in the coming weeks. The mains exam will test candidates’ professional knowledge in their specific fields, making preparation during this phase crucial.

Only those who qualify for both the mains and the subsequent interview round will be shortlisted for final appointment in participating banks. The final selection is based on the combined performance in the mains and interview stages.

 Expected Cut-Off Trends:

While IBPS has not yet released official cut-off scores, experts predict that the overall cut-off may rise slightly compared to last year due to higher competition and a balanced level of difficulty in this year’s paper. Sectional cut-offs for reasoning, quantitative aptitude, and English language are also expected to vary depending on the category.
