IBPS fixes the cut-offs for each stage after the exam, State-wise and category-wise. Your score card shows your marks and the cut-off for your State and category.

These figures were compiled from score cards and result notices by coaching institutes and exam portals, and checked against at least two such sources. They are not taken from the recruiter's own website, so treat them as a guide and confirm on the official site before relying on them.
Prelims cut-off (out of 100)
| State | General | OBC | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Punjab | 81.00 | - | - | - |
| Uttar Pradesh | 69.75 | 69.75 | 63.00 | 57.75 |
| Odisha | 69.75 | - | - | - |
| Maharashtra | 46.00 | 46.25 | 46.25 | - |
A dash means that category qualified at the General cut-off or was not reported separately.
Mains cut-off (out of 100)
| State | General | OBC | EWS | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Madhya Pradesh | 43.63 | 42.63 | 39.88 | 31.25 | 26.13 |
| Uttar Pradesh | 42.25 | 38.25 | 40.25 | 29.50 | 25.50 |
| Maharashtra | 41.13 | 40.25 | 38.13 | 38.88 | 27.88 |
IBPS converts Mains marks to a score out of 100 for the final list, which is why these figures look low.
What this tells you: the Prelims cut-off varies widely by State (Maharashtra's was much lower than Punjab's), but the Mains cut-off sits in a narrow band of about 40 to 44 out of 100 for General candidates in large States.
How the cut-off is set
| Stage | What you must clear |
|---|---|
| Prelims (100 marks) | A minimum in English, Numerical Ability and Reasoning, and a high enough total |
| Mains (200 marks) | A minimum in each test and a high enough total |
| Allotment | Mains marks converted out of 100; merit-cum-preference for banks |
| Language test | Qualifying only |
What to keep in mind
- English matters in Prelims. Unlike RRB Clerk, IBPS Clerk Prelims has an English section with its own cut-off.
- The State decides the competition. Uttar Pradesh has 1,752 posts in 2026; smaller States have far fewer, and cut-offs vary a lot.
- Ties are broken by age: the older candidate ranks higher.
- Reserve list: IBPS may keep a reserve of up to about 30% of the vacancies in each category.
