This is a crucial step for candidates who appeared in the initial phase of this competitive banking examination.
Thousands of students across India took the Officer Scale 1 preliminary exam, which was conducted on **November 22 and 23, 2025**.

The release of the scorecard means candidates can now understand their performance and whether they have cleared the first stage.
Students can find their detailed scores and the minimum qualifying marks (cutoff) on the official IBPS website, **ibps.in**. To access their individual results, candidates will need to use their unique **registration number** (or roll number) and their **password** (or date of birth) in the login portal. It is important for all candidates to check their scores carefully and compare them with the announced cutoff marks.
Only those candidates who have met or exceeded the **minimum qualifying marks** (cutoff) in the preliminary exam are eligible to move forward to the next stage – the **IBPS RRB PO Mains Exam 2025**. This selection process is designed to find the most suitable candidates for banking roles in rural areas, helping to strengthen the financial services in these regions.
