IBPS PO Cutoff 2024

The IBPS PO Cutoff 2024 will be released separately for the Preliminary and Mains exams, as well as the final interview stage. The cutoff represents the minimum score that candidates need to achieve to move to the next stage of the selection process. The cutoff depends on factors such as the difficulty of the exam, the number of applicants, and the number of available vacancies.

To check the IBPS PO cutoff, candidates need to enter their registration number or roll number, date of birth, and verification code on the official website of IBPS. Previous years’ cutoffs give a benchmark for preparation, and the overall aggregate score is the key factor, as there is no sectional cutoff in IBPS PO exams.
