### Examination and Selection Process
The IBPS Clerk selection journey involves a two-stage examination process: a Preliminary exam and a Mains exam. Following these, a Local Language Proficiency Test is conducted where applicable. However, those who have successfully studied their regional language up to Class 10 or higher are granted an exemption from this language test.
The Mains examination is a comprehensive assessment featuring 155 questions, totaling 200 marks, to be completed within 120 minutes. It covers four main sections: General/Financial Awareness (50 marks), General English (40 marks), Reasoning Ability (60 marks), and Quantitative Aptitude (50 marks). Candidates should note that a penalty of 0.25 marks will be applied for each incorrect answer. Crucially, your final selection and merit ranking will be based entirely on the scores achieved in this Mains stage.
The starting base salary for an IBPS Clerk is set at Rs 24,050. With various allowances, including House Rent Allowance, Dearness Allowance (DA), and Special Allowance, the total remuneration can progressively increase to an attractive Rs 64,480.
