Hey! This is a super important point. I've seen some confusion about this before. The IBPS Clerk admit card 2025 has two types you need to know about. The first is the PET (Pre-Examination Training) Admit Card. This is only for candidates belonging to SC, ST, Minority Communities, etc. The purpose of this training is to give them a heads-up on the exam structure and provide some guidance. It’s totally optional, and you need to download a special admit card for it. It's released earlier than the main admit card. If you're not in one of these categories, you won't even see a link for it. The second and most important one is the Preliminary Exam Admit Card. This is the one that every single candidate needs to download and bring to the exam hall on their test day. This admit card has your assigned test center, exam date, and time. You can't enter the exam without it. So, the key difference is the purpose. The PET admit card is for training, and the preliminary exam admit card is for the actual test. Don't confuse them.

Hi everyone, I just saw the question about login issues for the IBPS Clerk admit card 2025. It's a common problem, and it can be quite frustrating, but it's definitely solvable. Here’s a detailed guide on what you should do. The first and most common issue is a simple typo. Please check your Registration Number and Password (or Date of Birth) at least three times. I once spent 15 minutes troubleshooting a login issue only to realize I had swapped two digits in my registration number. It’s always the simplest things that get you. I recommend typing the details slowly and deliberately. If that doesn't work, don't waste time trying to guess. Use the Forgot Password/Registration Number link provided on the login page itself. This is the fastest and most official way to retrieve your credentials. When you use this feature, they usually ask for your registered email ID and mobile number. Make sure you use the same ones you provided during the application process. I can't stress this enough: check your spam folder! Many times, the automated emails from IBPS end up there. Another thing to consider is the possibility of a heavy server load. The IBPS website gets a lot of traffic on the first few days the admit cards are released. This can cause the login page to be slow or return errors. In this case, you can try logging in at a different time, like late at night or early in the morning when the traffic is low. I've had success doing this. If you still can't log in after all these steps, it might be a more serious issue with your application. In this rare case, you need to contact IBPS directly. Look for the helpline number on their website. It's better to call them and explain the problem clearly. You should have your application details ready before you call. They might be able to help you over the phone or tell you what to do next. But honestly, most of the time, the first two points will solve the issue. Keep calm and keep trying!

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.
