Correct option is A
The IBPS Clerk exam does not specify any minimum percentage requirement in graduation for eligibility. Candidates need only to have a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university or an equivalent qualification approved by the Central Government. The marks obtained in graduation—whether first division or pass class—do not impact eligibility.
However, candidates must possess a valid mark sheet or degree certificate while applying and must enter the percentage of marks obtained in graduation in the application form. There is no separate weightage given to academic percentages during the selection process, as the entire recruitment is based on the marks scored in the Preliminary and Main examinations.
The only other essential qualifications are basic computer literacy and proficiency in the local language of the state/UT for which the candidate is applying. For Ex-Servicemen without a graduation degree, a matriculation certificate along with at least 15 years of service and the Army Special Certificate of Education is considered equivalent.
Thus, candidates from all academic backgrounds with a valid graduation degree can apply, irrespective of their percentage, making the IBPS Clerk exam accessible to a wide range of aspirants.
