The final score in IBPS exams is calculated through a standardized process that takes into account the scores obtained in different stages of the selection process. The specific calculation may vary slightly based on the exam, but here is a general overview of how the final score is determined in IBPS exams:
1. Preliminary Examination: The scores obtained in the preliminary examination are not considered for the final selection. However, candidates need to qualify the prelims by meeting the cutoff criteria set by IBPS to be eligible for the main examination.
2. Main Examination: The main examination carries significant weightage in the final score calculation. The scores obtained in different sections of the main exam are considered. Each section is typically assigned a specific weightage, and the scores are scaled accordingly.
3. Interview: For exams that include an interview stage, the marks obtained in the interview are added to the main examination scores. The interview scores are typically scaled to a standard value.
4. Normalization: In exams where multiple sessions are conducted (especially in large-scale exams like IBPS Clerk and IBPS PO), a process called normalization is used to equate scores across different sessions. This ensures fairness in comparing the performance of candidates who appeared in different sessions, as the difficulty level of the exam may vary slightly.
5. Final Merit List: Based on the aggregate scores obtained in the main examination and interview (if applicable), candidates are arranged in descending order of merit. The final merit list is prepared considering the number of vacancies available and the reservation norms.
6. Provisional Allotment: Banks and participating organizations then use the final merit list prepared by IBPS to carry out the process of provisional allotment. Candidates are allotted to the respective banks based on their ranks, preferences, and available vacancies.
It's important to note that the specific weightage assigned to each stage, the normalization process, and other details may vary depending on the exam and the year. Candidates should refer to the official exam notifications and guidelines provided by IBPS for accurate and up-to-date information on the score calculation methodology for a particular exam.
