Unlike some commissions, the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) generally does not publish a public, question-wise answer key for the PO examination. Instead, IBPS releases scorecards showing sectional and total marks after the Preliminary and Main examinations, along with cut-offs.
How Candidates Verify Their Performance
Candidates can log in on ibps.in to download their scorecard once released. Because the test is conducted in multiple shifts, IBPS applies normalisation across sessions to ensure fairness. For an early estimate immediately after the exam, aspirants often refer to memory-based analyses by coaching institutes, which are unofficial.
The final selection is based on the Mains and interview (80:20). Always rely on the official scorecard from ibps.in.
