The IBPS Clerk admit card is called a call letter. IBPS issues it only online, on ibps.in, under the Common Recruitment Process for Customer Service Associates (CRP CSA), the new name of the clerk recruitment. You log in with your registration number or roll number, plus your password or date of birth, and download it for the stage you are appearing in.
The prelims call letter and the mains call letter are separate. The mains letter is issued only to candidates who clear the prelims cut-off. Each download window is announced on ibps.in, and IBPS usually releases an information handout with the call letter that explains the pattern and the rules for that stage.
How to download the IBPS Clerk admit card
- Go to ibps.in and open the CRP CSA section for your cycle (for example CRP CSA-XV was the 2025-26 edition).
- Click the link for the preliminary or main exam call letter, whichever is open.
- Enter your registration number or roll number.
- Enter your password or date of birth in the format shown, then the captcha.
- Download the call letter, check it and print two or three copies. Download the information handout as well.
Prelims vs mains call letter
| Point | Prelims call letter | Mains call letter |
|---|---|---|
| Who gets it | All candidates with a completed application | Only those who clear the prelims cut-off |
| Exam type | Qualifying online test: English, numerical ability, reasoning | Online test whose score decides allotment |
| Login | Registration or roll number, password or date of birth | Same login details |
| Comes with | Information handout for prelims | Information handout for mains |
Some candidates who opted for pre-exam training, which banks offer to certain categories, also get a separate training call letter before the prelims. Check the notice for who is eligible.
Prelims pattern printed in the handout
| Section | Questions | Time |
|---|---|---|
| English Language | 30 | 20 minutes |
| Numerical Ability | 35 | 20 minutes |
| Reasoning Ability | 35 | 20 minutes |
Each section is timed on its own, so you cannot carry spare minutes from one section to the next. The handout for your cycle confirms the pattern and also lists the marks deducted for wrong answers; read it once before the exam day.
Details to check on the call letter
- Name, roll number, registration number and category.
- Photo and signature, which must be the ones you uploaded.
- Exam date, batch or shift, reporting time and gate closing time.
- Full venue address. Check the route a day before.
- Instructions about what to paste or bring.
Documents to carry
- The printed call letter. IBPS call letters have asked candidates to paste a recent photo, the same as the one uploaded, in the space given.
- An original photo ID such as an Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, voter ID or driving licence, along with a photocopy, as the call letter instructs.
- If your name has changed, for example after marriage, carry the original gazette notification, marriage certificate or affidavit.
- Your own pen, if the call letter asks for one.
Your name on the call letter must match the name on your photo ID. At the venue, IBPS captures a photo and fingerprints, and these are matched again at later stages. Do not apply mehndi or ink on your hands, and do not change your look in a way that makes the match difficult.
Common problems and fixes
- Forgot registration number: search for the email and SMS IBPS sent when you registered. The login page also offers a recovery option.
- Forgot password: use the forgot password link, or log in with your date of birth if the page allows it.
- Invalid login message: check the date format (often dd-mm-yy), turn off caps lock and re-type the captcha.
- Photo or name is wrong: contact IBPS through the candidate grievance link on ibps.in before the exam, and carry ID proof that supports your details.
- Link not found: make sure you are in the CRP CSA section and not in the RRB or PO section, and that the download window is open.
At the exam venue
- Reach the venue before the reporting time on your call letter.
- Show the call letter and photo ID at the entry check.
- Give your photo and fingerprints when asked, and sign where told.
- Sit at the allotted computer and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Hand back the call letter or any rough sheet if the staff ask for it before you leave.
IBPS RRB clerk and SBI clerk call letters
The IBPS RRB clerk admit card is a different call letter. It belongs to the CRP for Regional Rural Banks, where the post is Office Assistant (Multipurpose). It is also downloaded from ibps.in, but from the RRB section with its own registration number. The SBI clerk exam is not run by IBPS at all: SBI recruits its Junior Associates through its own notice, and its call letters are on the SBI careers website.
After the exam
After the prelims, IBPS publishes the result and the mains call letters for those who qualify. The mains score, the qualifying Language Proficiency Test and your bank preferences then lead to provisional allotment. For eligibility, stages and the prelims pattern, see the IBPS Clerk exam overview .
Many bank aspirants also take SSC and railway exams. Compare the SSC CHSL admit card process or the railway NTPC call letter , and see open posts on central government jobs . All other hall ticket guides are on our admit card hub .
