IBPS PO 2013 Eligibility Criteria Doubts Answered | EducationalQualification Doubts

IBPS PO Exam 2013 Eligibility criteria was revised by IBPS yesterday. Candidates are having lot of doubts regarding eligibility criteria for IBPS PO 2013 Online Exam. Al your doubts were answered in question and answer manner.


Q.1: I wrote the exam before july, but results are not yet released. Am i eligible for IBPS PO 2013 Recruitment Process?



Ans. The date of passing appearing on the Provisional certificate is considered as proof of date of passing the exam. The date should be on or before 01.07.2013. If your result is not yet declared or you didn't receive your certificates, ensure that you can pass all subjects, and ask your seniors regarding date of passing the exam. They would know the date of passing the exam. The date of appearing for the exam is the date of passing the exam for some universities or they will follow one date every year. If you are sure that the date of passing the exam on certificate is on or before 01.07.2013, you can apply for the exam.


Q.2: Currently I'm pursuing my Post Graduation, Am i eligible for IBPS PO 2013 Online Exam?


Ans. You can apply with your graduation certificates. Graduation is enough for Bank exams.


Q.3: What is the % required for IBPS PO Online Exam 2013?


Ans. There is no need of graduation % requirement now. All Graduates are eligible for Bank Exams.


Q.4: I have completed my diploma after 10th class. Am i eligible for IBPS PO Exam 2013?


Ans. No, diploma is not considered as a graduation. So, you are not eligible for the IBPS PO Exam 2013 Recruitment.


Q.5: I have passed my intermediate (higher secondary education(+2)). Am i eligible for any IBPS Bank Exams?


Ans. Sorry, You are not eligible for any IBPS bank exams. Graduation is needed for any bank exam.


Q.6: How to calculate my graduation %?


Ans. The percentage marks shall be arrived at by dividing the marks obtained by the candidate in all the subjects in all semester(s)/year(s) by aggregate maximum marks in all the subjects irrespective of honours/optional/additional optional subject, if any. This will be applicable for those Universities also where Class/ Grade is decided on basis of Honours marks only. So, calculate your % based on all your subjects.


If you have any other doubt, please ask me in comments section. This is my final answer for all the above questions. All The Best...
