IBPS SO XVI Admit Card 2026: Prelims Call Letter for 1035 Posts

The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection has opened the CRP Specialist Officers / SPL-XVI Preliminary examination call letter on the official site ibps.in. Candidates who completed online registration for the Specialist Officer cycle that began on 1 July 2026 should treat this page as a guide to download the hall ticket, check printed details and plan travel for the Prelims date that public notices have commonly placed on 29 August 2026. The Institute does not post a paper card. Login fields on the CRP SO window are typically the registration number or roll number, password or date of birth, and captcha. This write-up covers the call-letter window reported around 20 August 2026, the post groups usually counted in later public vacancy lists (about 1035 posts, with Marketing Officer shown as zero), age and fee as in the notification, Prelims–Mains–Interview selection, and why every figure must be re-checked on ibps.in if a later PDF or calendar note differs. The last date to apply is the date shown on the live portal: many candidates first saw 21 July 2026 and later an extension commonly discussed as 26 July 2026. Do not rely on a third-party countdown. Participating banks for this CRP are listed by IBPS in the notification and later allotment communication; treat “which bank you will join” as a later stage, not as something printed on the Prelims slip.

IBPS CRP SO/SPL-XVI Prelims Call Letter Out @ibps.in

The call letter is meant only for candidates whose application reached the paid / completed stage that IBPS accepts for Prelims. Download it from the CRP Specialist Officers block on ibps.in, print a clear copy and keep it until the process ends. Match name, photograph, signature, category, post (IT Officer, Agriculture Field Officer, Rajbhasha Adhikari, Law Officer, HR/Personnel Officer or any other post the Institute listed for this cycle), centre city, venue address, reporting time and exam date. If the slip shows a mismatch with your registration print, use the Institute’s official grievance or helpdesk path named on ibps.in — not a coaching-site form. Silence until the morning of the test can cost entry. The Prelims date widely reported for this cycle is 29 August 2026; the Mains window on the IBPS calendar for Specialist Officers is often placed in November 2026. Your card and the current IBPS exam calendar override any secondary report. Centres, shifts and post-wise papers differ; carry the same print and photo ID for the session printed on your letter.

How to download

1. Open https://www.ibps.in/ only. Ignore look-alike domains.

2. Find the CRP Specialist Officers / CRP SO/SPL-XVI block and the Prelims call-letter link.

3. Enter registration number or roll number, then password or date of birth, plus captcha, exactly as the form labels them.

4. Open the PDF. Check post name, category, centre, shift and photo. Save the file and print two copies.

5. If login fails, use “forgot password / registration number” on the same official window. Do not share OTP or password on chat apps.

What to carry

Carry a printed call letter and the photo identity document IBPS names on that letter (and any extra photocopy the instructions demand). Reach the venue by the reporting time, not the start time. Electronic gadgets, notes and rough paper stay out unless the letter says otherwise. If the Institute asks for a photograph to be pasted or a declaration to be signed, complete that before you leave home. One damaged print can delay frisking; keep a spare copy in a simple folder.

Next stage

Selection for CRP SO/SPL-XVI is Prelims, then Mains, then Interview. Prelims is typically qualifying for moving to Mains; Mains scores and interview together decide the panel, as the official information handout describes. Mains call letters are a separate download on ibps.in closer to the Mains date (often November 2026 on the Institute calendar). Interview call letters and provisional allotment to participating banks come still later. Bank posting, cadre and joining are not decided by the Prelims slip.

Verify on the official site

Secondary websites often copy old last dates, old vacancy rows or a Mains month that IBPS later shifts. If two sources disagree, prefer ibps.in and the PDF attached to your registration. Confirm exam date, city and reporting time only from your call letter. Confirm vacancies only from the latest IBPS vacancy file. Confirm apply last date only from the portal history or the notice IBPS still hosts.
