  1. Do you have any information on the next ibps exam date in 2020? I heard that IBPS is going to stop the recruitment after the amalgamation of banks.

    • The amalgamation of banks may slightly reduce the total number of opportunities but I don’t think it is going to affect IBPS recruitment. It is a good change as the selected candidates get opportunity in a big and better bank which has a lot of branches and business. Regarding your question, you may expect the next IBPS exam registrations start around the dates as given the article.

  2. Sir please tell me this year new posts calender for applying me @ [email protected]
