IBPS Clerk Prelims 2026 Admit Card Out: Download Link, Reporting Time, and Essential Exam Day Guidelines

IBPS has activated the IBPS Clerk Preliminary Exam call letter for CRP CSA‑XVI. The download window runs from October 1 to October 11, 2026, while the prelims are scheduled on October 10 and 11. Candidates should download early, verify details, and read exam-day rules printed on the admit card.

To download, open the “Online Preliminary Exam Call Letter for CRP‑CSA‑XVI” link on ibps.in, then log in with Registration Number and Password or Date of Birth in dd‑mm‑yy format. Check your name, photograph, and signature for clarity. If the print looks faint, re‑download and reprint; mismatches in name or date of birth can deny entry.

IBPS Clerk prelims reporting time and shift plan

Follow the reporting time printed on your own call letter, as centers may vary. Gates can close before the exam starts, so plan to reach 60–90 minutes early. The one‑hour test includes login and verification time. When in doubt, treat the admit card timing as final.

Documents to carry for IBPS Clerk prelims

Carry a printed call letter with photo affixed, one additional passport photograph, an original valid photo ID, and a photocopy of that ID. Accepted IDs include PAN, Passport, Permanent Driving Licence, Voter ID, Bank Passbook with photo, Gazetted Officer/People’s Representative ID, recognised College/University ID, Aadhaar/e‑Aadhaar, Employee ID, or Bar Council ID. Ration Card and Learner’s Licence are invalid. Names must match exactly.

Biometric, scribe, dress code and banned items

Your left‑thumb image was uploaded during application; at the centre IBPS may capture right‑thumb biometrics. Avoid mehendi, ink, grease, or cuts on fingers to prevent mismatches. Scribe guidelines and the online scribe declaration link are live; follow the prescribed format. Phones, watches, calculators, or electronic devices are banned; follow invigilator instructions.

City slip vs admit card, and whom to contact

For CRP CSA‑XVI, IBPS has released the Prelims call letter, information handout, and scribe links; no separate “city intimation slip” link is listed. For errors or mismatches, raise a ticket on the Candidate Grievance Redressal System and call IBPS helplines 1800‑222‑366 or 1800‑103‑4566 during working hours. Escalate before October 11.

Download your call letter now, confirm your shift and venue, and reprint if the photo or signature appears unclear. Pack the correct ID and a spare photograph, reach early, and avoid banned items. Keep the authenticated prelims call letter safe for mains. Staying precise with details today prevents last‑minute issues on exam day.
