IBPS Clerk Prelims 2026 Admit Card Expected by October 5

The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) is preparing to release the admit cards for the upcoming Clerk preliminary examination for the 2026 recruitment cycle. Candidates who have successfully registered for the CRP CSA-XVI recruitment process are advised to monitor the official IBPS website, ibps.in, for the release of their call letters, which is currently anticipated by October 5.

While the examination body has not yet confirmed an exact date for the issuance of the hall tickets, the timeline aligns with the scheduled dates for the preliminary examination. The IBPS Clerk preliminary exams are slated to be conducted on October 10 and 11, 2026. Candidates are required to present their printed admit cards at the examination venue to gain entry into the testing hall.

How to Access Your IBPS Clerk Call Letter

Once the official notification is issued and the link goes live, candidates can retrieve their documents through the official portal. To download the admit card, applicants should navigate to the IBPS website and locate the section dedicated to CRP CSA-XVI. From there, they will need to select the link for the Online Preliminary Examination Call Letter.

Accessing the document requires specific login credentials, including the candidate's registration number or roll number, paired with their password or date of birth. Upon entering the correct details, the admit card will be displayed on the screen. It is strongly recommended that candidates download the file and print a physical copy for their records and for use on the day of the examination.

Verification and Pre-Exam Training Details

After downloading the document, candidates must carefully verify all printed information to ensure accuracy. The admit card typically contains essential details such as the candidate's name, roll number, registration number, photograph, and signature. Furthermore, it will specify the exact date, shift timing, reporting time, and the designated examination centre address, alongside a list of mandatory instructions for the test day.

In addition to the main examination updates, the IBPS has also facilitated pre-exam training for eligible candidates. Those belonging to the SC, ST, OBC, or minority communities, as well as persons with benchmark disabilities (PwBD) who opted for the training, may download their pre-exam training hall tickets. This facility remains available on the official website until October 3, 2026, using the same login credentials required for the main call letter.
