Our Analysis on basis of Previous year Exams
Since IBPS began to take banking exams from 2012, there has been many changes in terms of selection process and paper patterns / levels. IBPS is one of the most contested exams in the country. We have seen cutoff’s dipping and increasing with every tough paper with cutoff’s in year 2013 were as low as 61. But with time the vacancies have reduced and that has been a reason for the increase in cutoff’s. We expect cutoff’s to go high this year, though cannot predict them before exam. level of exam this year is expected to be tough.
