IBPS Clerk 2021 Revised Notification Out!!

IBPS had already released the notification for filling 5830 Clerk posts in 11 PSBs on 11th July 2021 and the registration process started from 12th July 2021. The registration process was then temporarily stopped and the notification was also withdrawn from IBPS website. Earlier the IBPS Clerk Exam used to be conducted in English and Hindi. There was a demand to conduct this exam in regional languages also, similar to what is being done for IBPS RRB Clerk. Hence the notification released in July was withdrawn. 

 

The Finance Ministry has approved that the IBPS Clerk Exam can now be conducted in regional languages as well. Hence, IBPS has released the NEW notification for recruitment of Clerks in PSBs.

The candidates who have already registered successfully for this process during July 12-14, 2021, need not apply again. Their earlier application will be considered for further process. All the tests(sections of the exam) other than Test of English Language in Both Preliminary and Main Examinations will be available in 13 Regional Languages in addition to Hindi and English.(Refer to page 8 of detailed Notification)
