IBPS Clerk 16th Correction Form 2026 for 11403 Post

This page tracks IBPS Clerk 16th Correction Form 2026 for 11403 Post, a recruitment notification. The key figures are 11,403 vacancies, an application window closing 28 August 2026, and a fee of ₹850 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) conducts common recruitment for public sector banks. IBPS selection runs a preliminary test used only to shortlist, then a mains that determines the merit, followed by interview and language proficiency where applicable.

Applications open on 01 August 2026 and close on 28 August 2026, giving candidates 28 days to complete the process. The 28-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. Fee payment closes on 28/08/2026 — note that this can fall on a different day from the form deadline, and an unpaid form is not a submitted form. A correction window is listed (04-05 September 2026), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for October 2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

11,403 posts are advertised in this notification. A vacancy count this large usually means a multi-stage process with a computer-based first round used mainly to shortlist, so speed and accuracy in the screening stage matter more than depth. Category-wise distribution, where the notification provides it, is shown in the vacancy table further down this page — check the count against your own category rather than the overall total, since reserved-category cut-offs and competition ratios differ substantially from the unreserved ones.

The age limit runs from 20 to 28 years for unreserved candidates. That is an 8-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Bachelor Degree in Any Stream in Any Recognized University in India. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹175 and ₹850, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, and net banking. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Bank PO and Clerk preparation centres on reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English and banking awareness. The preliminary is sectionally timed, so section-wise practice under the exact time limits matters more than overall mock scores.
