Details to Check on Call Letter
After downloading the IBPS PO Prelims call letter, candidates should carefully verify all information printed on it.
Important details are expected to include the candidate’s name, roll number, registration number, examination date, reporting time, examination shift, venue name and address, photograph and examination-day instructions.
Candidates should pay particular attention to the reporting time. Entry procedures at computer-based examinations can include identity verification and other formalities before candidates are allowed into the examination room.
Any discrepancy in personal or examination details should be addressed through the appropriate IBPS support mechanism before the examination wherever possible.
Documents Required at Exam Centre
Candidates should not assume that the admit card alone will be sufficient for entry. They should carefully read the instructions issued with the call letter and carry all documents specifically prescribed by IBPS.
The detailed CRP PO/MT-XVI notification confirms the importance of the Preliminary Examination call letter and states that it will be authenticated or stamped at the examination venue rather than collected there. Candidates therefore need to retain it carefully as instructed.
A valid original photo identity document and other items specified in the call letter should also be kept ready.
IBPS PO Prelims Exam Dates
The official IBPS examination calendar schedules CRP PO/MT-XVI Preliminary Examinations for:
- August 22, 2026
- August 23, 2026
Candidates should note that their individual examination date and shift will depend on the allocation shown on their call letter.
The admit card will therefore become the key document for confirming not only eligibility to enter the examination centre but also the candidate-specific venue, date and reporting schedule.
