IBPS Revised Calendar Update: Important Points

One of the key observations from this revised schedule is that IBPS Clerk Mains 2025 is scheduled for 29 November 2025, which gives Clerk aspirants ample time between Prelims and Mains to prepare for the second stage. Similarly, IBPS SO Mains is scheduled for 9 November 2025, meaning aspirants in specialised streams like IT, HR, Marketing, and Law have enough time to prepare in depth. The RRB Scale II & III single exam, being conducted on 28 December 2025, also gives senior-level candidates a defined timeline. These dates, when viewed as part of a bigger exam cycle, help candidates avoid preparation overlaps and burnout.
