Detailed analysis and Expected cutoffs of IBPS PO Prelims

70-75 is the most possible attempt. And most of the students attempt in the range of 45-55.

So, don't get nervous and believe what you do in the examination.Because cutoff will in the range of 38-42.

Compare with SBI Prelims paper is in the same pattern. In SBI cutoff is 47.5 , and student selected in prelims is 40000, but in IBPS PO almost 3.5 lakh student will selected for MAINS as expected vacancy will be 16000-18000.
So, expected cutoff for all category will be,

• 38-42 (General)
• 33-37(OBC)
• 28-32(SC)
• 15-17(ST)

So,ideal attempt is 48-55 (with at least 90% accuracy) will get anyone through the MAINS.
