The IBPS clerk exam is universally adapted by nationalized banks across India to induct fresh graduates into various clerical posts.

This exam comprises five sections covering Reasoning, English, Numerical Ability, General Awareness and Computer knowledge.

Applicants first appear for a preliminary exam covering English, Numerical Ability and Reasoning. Only those candidates satisfying the cut off point for each section are eligible to appear for the final CWE.

IBPS also conducts exams for recruitment to the post of probationary officer (PO) and specialist officer (SO).
