IBPS PO 2026 Registration: How Do I Apply Online for IBPS PO 2026 Registration? | Step-by-Step Guide


To register for IBPS PO 2026, apply online through the official IBPS CRP PO/MT portal during the registration window: complete New Registration, fill personal + academic + category details, upload photo, signature, left thumb impression, and handwritten declaration exactly as per the official upload rules, pay the application fee, submit the form, and finally download/print your application PDF. Always rely on IBPS’ official website and the “How to Apply” + “Upload/Scanning Guidelines” PDFs for the most accurate requirements.
IBPS official site: https://www.ibps.in/


Step 0: Confirm Dates + Apply Link

IBPS publishes:

Registration dates for 2026 will be shown on the official PO/MT portal when it opens.


Before You Start: One-Time Checklist

Keep these ready so the form doesn’t fail midway:

A) Personal & academic details

  • Name (exactly as Class 10 certificate)
  • Date of birth (exactly as certificate)
  • Mobile number + email (active)
  • Graduation details (year, university, % / CGPA)

B) Upload files (mandatory)

C) Payment method

  • Debit/credit card / net banking / other online option shown on portal
    (Options vary by portal gateway.)


Step-by-Step: How to Register for IBPS PO 2026


Step 1: Open the official IBPS PO application page

Start from IBPS recruitment page and open the PO/MT CRP link:
https://www.ibps.in/index.php/recruitment/

(Example portal format from a recent cycle):
https://ibpsreg.ibps.in/crppoxvjun25/

Step 2: Click “New Registration”

Choose New Registration and create your login credentials.

✅ Immediately save:

  • Registration number
  • Password
  • Email confirmation (if received)

Step 3: Fill Personal Details (match your certificates)

Fill carefully:

  • Name spelling
  • DOB
  • Gender
  • Category (UR/OBC/EWS/SC/ST)
  • Address details

Rule: If your name is “Rahul Kumar Sharma” in certificates, use the same sequence and spelling.

Step 4: Upload Photograph/Signature/Thumb/Declaration (most rejection happens here)

Use the official scanning & upload rules:
Upload/Scanning Guidelines PDF:
https://ibpsreg.ibps.in/crppoxvjun25/uploads/loadpdf.php?file=k7m5p+fQ15erzNvj0OHb1N7UnJp9sc%2FKYaao1bWrpok%3D&t=1LHArOLA2di0yczXwNDa083LmNWypw%3D%3D

Handwritten declaration text is provided inside the same official guideline PDF. (Write it yourself on plain paper, then scan and upload.)

Step 5: Fill Academic Details (Graduation)

Enter:

  • Graduation status
  • University/college
  • Passing year
  • Marks (%) / CGPA as asked

If your CGPA needs conversion, follow whatever the portal/notification says.

Step 6: Select exam centre preferences

Choose realistic nearby centres (centres can fill up late).

Step 7: Preview the entire form (never skip)

This is where you catch:

  • wrong category
  • wrong DOB
  • blurry photo
  • spelling mistakes

Step 8: Pay application fee (online)

Fee details are always in the official notification PDF for that cycle. Example from a recent IBPS PO notification:
https://www.ibps.in/wp-content/uploads/Detailed-Notification_CRP-PO-XV.pdf

Step 9: Final Submit + Download/Print Application

After successful submission:

  • Download application PDF
  • Print/save it
  • Save payment confirmation details

Step 10: If an official edit window opens, use it immediately

Some cycles have allowed limited edits for a short time (depends on IBPS). Always follow only IBPS’ official notice on their site:
https://www.ibps.in/
