How to Check IBPS Clerk Prelims Result 2025 (Step by Step)
Checking the IBPS Clerk Prelims Result 2025 is quite simple. The website may be a little slow since everyone sees the results simultaneously. If the page loads slowly, wait a bit; don't panic.
The simple process to check the result is as follows:
- Visit the official IBPS website: ibps.in
- On the homepage, you will find a scrolling notification or click on the CRP Clerical option in the left-hand menu.
- There, click on Common Recruitment Process for Clerical Cadre XV.
- Below it, you will see a link: Click here to view Result Status of Online Preliminary Examination.
- To login, you need two things: – Registration Number or Roll Number – Password or Date of Birth (in DD-MM-YY format)
- Enter the Captcha code and press Login.
- Your result status will then be displayed directly on the screen.
One must-do: Save a screenshot or PDF of the result as soon as it opens. This will be useful later.
At this stage, IBPS only displays the qualifying status : Qualified or Not Qualified. The detailed scorecard and state-wise cut-off are usually released 2–3 days later.
Why Normalization Matters in IBPS Clerk Result 2025
Many students ask, I made 80 attempts but still didn’t clear it, why? or I only scored 72, but I passed! This is all due to normalization.
The exam was conducted on October 4th and 5th in multiple shifts and the level of each shift was not the same. Therefore, IBPS uses normalization to calculate everyone's score fairly.
- If you attempted fewer questions but maintained an accuracy of around 95–100%, your normalized score goes up. Accuracy is king here.
- If your shift was tough, the system awards some bonus marks. If the shift was easy, there's no room for error at all.
What to Check When Scorecard is Released (This Week)
When the scorecard is released (most likely this week), be sure to check a few details, as any mistakes here could cause document verification problems:
- Candidate Name: Does it match the ID proof?
- Category: General/OBC/SC/ST/EWS? Is it correct?
- State Applied: Because the cut-off varies state-wise.
- Sectional Cut-off: English, Reasoning and Quant have separate cut-offs and you must also clear the overall cut-off.
Properly verify all these things.
Qualified for Mains? Start Preparing Right Now!
If you've qualified, rejoice for a while just an hour. After that, get back to studying immediately, because the IBPS Clerk Mains is on November 29, 2025.
It's true that Prelims was a speed test, but Mains is a game of endurance and knowledge.
1. General / Financial Awareness – Biggest Game Changer
There's no scope for studying a completely new syllabus at this time. Just do this:
- Revise the last 4–5 months of Current Affairs (July to November 2025).
- Banking Statistics: Brush up on basic banking terms, the latest RBI circulars and updates.
2. English Language
Its level is much higher than Prelims. Focus on Reading Comprehension and Cloze tests; these are high-scoring and important.
3. Reasoning & Computer Aptitude
Don't expect one-line puzzles. Main-level puzzles will appear, with 2–3 variables. For Computer Aptitude, the basics are sufficient, binary to decimal conversion, simple flowcharts, basic logic.
4. Quantitative Aptitude
DI carries a heavy weight in this. Practice calculation heavy DI sets to maintain both speed and accuracy.
Didn’t Qualify? It’s Not the End!
If you don't qualify, It's perfectly natural to feel a little bad today. But the banking exam calendar moves in a cycle.
Analyze your attempts, was the problem speed or were the concepts unclear? Exams like IBPS PO, SBI Clerk are always lined up. Don't consider this setback as a full stop, use it as fuel and come back stronger for the next exam.
