IBPS PO selection process comprises prelims exam, Mains exam and ssb interview. The prelims exam is qualifying in nature and the marks obtained in the prelims exam are not counted for the final merit list. The final merit list is prepared based on the marks obtained in the Mains exam and interview. Provisional allotment of candidates is done based on merit.

The normalisation is the process followed by IBPS to evaluate the performance of candidates based on the difficulty level. The exam is conducted in multiple shifts, as a result, there is variation in the difficulty level of question papers. The sectional and overall difficulty of topics varies in each slot. The questions may be easier in one slot, while they might be difficult in the other. For evaluation, IBPS normalises the marks obtained by candidates in different shifts of the exam. The normalisation is done using the equi-percentile method. IBPS PO result is announced after normalising the marks of candidates.
