Penalty for Wrong Answers (Applicable to both – Preliminary and Main examination) :
There will be penalty for wrong answers marked in the Objective Tests. For each
question for which a wrong answer has been given by the candidate one fourth or 0.25
of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty to arrive at corrected score. If a question is left blank, i.e. no answer is marked by the candidate, there will be no penalty for that question.
Cut - off Score (Online main examination)
Each candidate will be required to obtain a minimum score in each test of Online
Main examination and also a minimum total score to be considered to be shortlisted
for interview. Depending on the number of vacancies available, cut-offs will be
decided and candidates will be shortlisted for interview. Prior to the completion of
the interview process, scores obtained in the online Main examination will not be
shared with the candidates shortlisted for interview.
MARKS OBTAINED IN THE MAIN EXAMINATION ONLY WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR SHORTLISTING FOR INTERVIEW AND ALSO FOR FINAL MERIT LISTING .
INTERVIEW
Candidates who have been shortlisted in the main examination for IPPB will
subsequently be called for an Interview to be conducted by IPPB.
The total marks allotted for Interview are 100. The minimum qualifying marks in
interview will not be less than 40% (35% for SC/ST/OBC/PWD candidates). The
weightage (ratio) of Main exam and interview will be 80:20 respectively. The
combined final score of candidates shall be arrived at on the basis of scores obtained
by the candidates in the Main Examination and Interview.
A candidate should qualify both in the Main Examinationand interview and be sufficiently high in the merit to be shortlisted for subsequent provisional allotment process, details of which will be made available subsequently on IPPB website.
