Hey all, this is a very good question and it comes up a lot. Based on the official IBPS instructions and my personal experience with multiple banking exams, a color printout is not mandatory. You can absolutely use a black and white printout. The most important thing is that the printout is clear and legible. The text, your photograph, and the barcode on the admit card must be perfectly visible. The invigilator at the exam center needs to be able to read all the information easily and scan the barcode if necessary. I remember for my last exam, I had to print a new copy at a local shop because the one I printed at home had faded ink. The invigilator was able to read it but told me to be careful next time. So, make sure the print quality is good. Don't use a printout that is blurry or has ink smudges. It's better to spend a few rupees at a cyber cafe to get a good quality print than to face issues on exam day. Also, remember to carry a valid photo ID along with the admit card. The name on the ID must match the name on the admit card. If there's a minor difference, you might have to show some additional documents. But for the printout itself, black and white is completely fine. Don't worry about it being in color.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my perspective on the color vs. black and white printout for the IBPS Clerk admit card 2025. I've given many exams, and I can tell you from experience that it doesn't matter if it's in color or not. The official instructions from IBPS always state that the admit card should be "clearly printed." They don't specify the color. What they are most concerned with is the visibility of your photo and signature. If your home printer is low on ink and the photo on the black and white printout looks like a dark blob, then you might face a problem. But if it's a good, clear print, there is no issue at all. For some people, a color print can make the photo look a bit clearer, but it's not a requirement. A good quality laser print is usually the best option. So, if you have access to a color printer and the cost is not an issue, go for it. It can give you a bit more peace of mind. But if you only have a black and white printer, or if you're getting it done at a shop, a black and white print is more than sufficient. Focus more on ensuring that all the text, your name, roll number, and exam center details are perfectly readable. This is what the invigilator will be checking. Don't stress too much about the color. Just make sure the print is sharp and clean.
