Dates of the upcoming IBPS Preliminary Exams in 2015.
The noticeable disadvantage of IBPS’s new arrangement is that you have to write two exams. However, we believe that the luck-factor associated with objective tests will be limited from this time onwards, as only the most talented candidates would be able to get through the two levels of the exam.
