IBPS Clerk Recruitment 2026 – Overview
The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) has released the detailed notification for CRP CSA-XVI, the 16th edition of the Common Recruitment Process for Customer Service Associates (CSA) in 11 participating public sector banks. The notification announces 11,403 indicative vacancies for the financial year 2027-28. Online registration opened on 1 August 2026, and the last date to apply is 21 August 2026.
Assam has been allotted 349 posts in this cycle, a substantial rise over the 204 posts announced for the state in the previous edition. Vacancy figures are indicative and based on what participating banks have reported so far – Union Bank of India has not reported its requirement for any state, so the final count is likely to be revised upward before provisional allotment in March 2027.

Selection Process of IBPS Clerk Recruitment
Selection is a two-stage online process with no interview. Candidates must first clear the Preliminary Examination (screening only), then appear for the Main Examination. Only Main Exam marks are used to prepare the merit list, converted out of 100 for provisional allotment. Both stages carry 0.25 negative marking per wrong answer; unattempted questions carry no penalty. Scores across sessions are normalised using the equi-percentile method.

Local Language Test & Provisional Allotment
The Local Language Proficiency Test (LLPT) is conducted after the Main Exam and provisional allotment, but before joining. It is qualifying in nature – candidates who fail are not offered appointment. Candidates who studied the opted language up to Class 10 are exempted on producing that marksheet. Assam candidates who studied Assamese, Bengali or Bodo in school should keep it ready.
Qualified candidates are ranked and allotted a bank through a centralised process in March 2027, based on merit, state, category and bank preference order – once made, allotment cannot be changed. IBPS also maintains a reserve list of ~30% of vacancies per category, with allotment from it possible 3–4 times if further vacancies are reported.
