No, final-year students cannot apply for the IBPS Clerk exam unless they have already completed their graduation and have a valid mark sheet or degree certificate by the date specified in the official notification. As per the eligibility criteria, candidates must possess a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university and should have their result declared on or before the last date of registration.
Candidates awaiting final semester or final year results are not eligible to apply, as they cannot provide proof of graduation at the time of application. During the document verification stage, candidates are required to produce their degree certificate or provisional certificate along with the mark sheets, and failure to do so will result in disqualification.
