IBPS Clerk Syllabus 2023

The IBPS Clerk exam syllabus covers a comprehensive range of topics to assess candidates’ suitability for clerical roles in the banking sector. The examination consists of two main stages: Preliminary and Main Exams. In the Preliminary Exam, candidates are tested on their proficiency in three key areas: English Language, Numerical Ability, and Reasoning Ability. This stage serves as a screening process. Successful candidates then move on to the Main Examination, which is more comprehensive and includes additional sections such as General/Financial Awareness and Computer Aptitude, in addition to the previous three subjects. The syllabus is designed to evaluate a candidate’s language skills, numerical and logical reasoning, knowledge of banking and financial concepts, and familiarity with computer systems. Candidates aspiring to clear the IBPS Clerk exam should focus on honing these skills and staying updated with current banking and financial trends to maximize their chances of success.
