Hello Meghana

Yes you can alpply for ibps exams as there is no such minimum percentage criteria in graduation. You just have the graduation irrespective of any stream you belong but should be from recognized universities. But it's the safer side if you score minimum 50% in graduation. 

Good luck 

Yes, final year student an appear in IBPS PO 2019 Exam but the final result of their Graduation Degree must be declared on or before 28th August 2019.

A candidate with a Graduation Degree in any branch/stream from a University recognized by the Govt. of India or any equivalent qualification recognized as such by the Central Government.

In case a candidate is awarded with CGPA/OGPA, they must convert it into a percentage (nearest to 2 decimal places) and mention it in the IBPS PO application form .

The fraction of percentage will be counted as whole number i.e. 59.99% will be treated as less than 60%. While filling your application form you will be required to fill in your graduation percentage. So, you should mention it accordingly.

Calculation of Percentage: The percentage marks shall be arrived at by dividing the total marks obtained by the candidate in all the subjects in all semester(s)/year(s) by aggregate maximum marks multiplied by 100. This will be applicable for those Universities also where Class / Grade is decided based on Honors marks only.

Hello Pramod,

Yes you can fill the IBPS PO form as the according to the eligibility criteria of the exam one should posses a graduation degree or he/she should be in the final year but after clearing the exam you will have to submit your original marksheet which should clearly say that you are graduated.

Note. You should have atleast 60% in graduation.

I hope my answer have helped you and hope you do well in future.

Hi Akshat,

I have been in your shoes and know what it feels like.

Your parents wants to secure your future and government jobs are a way to do that.

MBA revolves around your managerial skills and give you a managerial job after your graduation.

Buit before that, you have to bag a seat at one of the top colleges. Pursuing MBA in an ordinary B school or a low rtier one will be a loss of your resources, time and future as well.

I would suggest you to gear up and study for CAT, CMAT, SNAP. That way you will be fluent in aptitude which is also useful for government jobs exams. Attempt the MBA exams as well as the SBI PO, RRB exams that come your way. They will be good mocks for  you even if you dont want to go for it. Those exams take long time to process the results. So you can get busy with MBA exams as well. When you crack one, you can always decide what you want to do later.

There is no harm preparing for both. :)
