5 Key Changes in the IBPS PO 2026 Notification vs Previous Years
Application Correction Window
Introduced for the first time — a 2-day edit facility (₹200 fee) after registration closes, so candidates can fix errors in select fields before the form is locked.
Mandatory Personality Test
Added before the Interview — a self-report psychometric profile is now shared with the interview panel; it's non-qualifying but compulsory to attend.
Mains Exam Pattern Revised
Objective questions increased from 145 to 170. English Language marks reduced from 40 to 20, while Banking Awareness and Data Analysis & Interpretation now carry more weight.
Credit History Clause Removed
The earlier requirement around candidates' credit/loan history (minimum CIBIL score checks) has been dropped from the 2026 notification.
Vacancies Revised Upward
7,365 posts now, up from the initially notified 6,715, after IBPS added 650 seats for Indian Bank via corrigendum.
