How bank allotment works
After the interview, IBPS ranks candidates on the combined Mains and interview score. Each candidate is then provisionally allotted to one bank on merit and the preference they gave, against the vacancies that bank actually reports. A reserved-category candidate who qualifies on general merit is counted against an unreserved post.
