The IBPS PO application correction window 2026 is a 2-day period after the last date to apply online. If you noticed a blurry photo upload or picked the wrong exam city while rushing to beat the 26 July deadline, the IBPS PO 2026 Online Application Correction Window is your safety net. For the first time in CRP PO/MT XVI, IBPS has built in a short editing period right after registration closes, giving lakhs of applicants a genuine second chance to fix mistakes before the Preliminary Exam on 22 and 23 August 2026. Here is everything you need to know about the correction window, from the expected dates and fee to exactly what you can and cannot change.
The IBPS PO application correction window date for 2026 has not been officially confirmed yet. Still, the CRP PO/MT XVI notification clearly states that the edit facility stays open for two days right after the registration deadline. Since online applications closed on 26 July 2026, the window is expected to open within the next few days and remain active for 48 hours only, so candidates should not delay.
Here is a quick look at how the correction window fits into the rest of the IBPS PO 2026 schedule. Keep checking the official notice board on ibps.in for the confirmed dates.
| Event | Date |
| Online Registration Started | 01 July 2026 |
| Last Date to Apply Online (Extended) | 26 July 2026 |
| Correction/Edit Window (Expected) | 2 days after 26 July 2026 (tentative) |
| IBPS PO Prelims Exam | 22 and 23 August 2026 |

Note: Correction window dates are provisional based on the official notification and will be updated the moment IBPS confirms them on ibps.in.
The IBPS PO correction fee for 2026 is fixed at Rs 200, inclusive of GST, and this amount is the same for General, EWS, OBC, SC, ST and PwBD candidates. It is a separate, non-refundable charge from your original application fee, payable online through debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI at the time of editing your form.
IBPS PO editable fields cover most of the details that commonly go wrong during a rushed submission, such as your photograph, signature, and educational qualification. A set of core identity fields, however, stays locked to prevent misuse of the correction facility.
Before you use your one attempt, check this breakdown of what falls under editable and non-editable categories.
| Editable Fields | Non Editable Fields |
| Photograph and signature | Candidate’s name |
| Left thumb impression and handwritten declaration | Email ID |
| Educational qualification details | Mobile number |
| Address and correspondence details | State/Union Territory |
| Exam centre preference | Post applied for |
| Category, as per allowed combinations | Nationality |
IBPS PO category change during the correction window follows a strict one-way rule, and it is one of the most searched doubts among candidates. You can move from General, EWS or OBC to SC, ST or PwBD, but a reserved category cannot be reversed back to General once selected.
Editing the IBPS PO application form 2026 is a fully online process once the window goes live on ibps.in. Follow these steps carefully, since you get only one correction attempt for the entire form.
The IBPS PO correction window instructions make it clear that this is a one time facility, so review every field before you submit. Missing this window means living with whatever errors are already in your submitted form.
When will the IBPS PO correction window 2026 open?
The IBPS PO correction window 2026 is expected to open within a couple of days of the registration deadline of 26 July 2026, though IBPS has not confirmed exact dates yet. Keep checking ibps.in for the official notice.
What is the fee for IBPS PO application correction 2026?
The IBPS PO application correction fee is Rs 200, inclusive of GST, for all candidate categories. It is separate from the original registration fee and must be paid online during the edit window through card, net banking or UPI.
Can I change my category in the IBPS PO correction window?
Yes, but only in one direction. IBPS allows candidates to switch from General, EWS or OBC to SC, ST or PwBD during the correction window, though reversing a reserved category back to General is not permitted.
What details cannot be edited in the IBPS PO application form?
Name, email ID, mobile number, State or Union Territory, post applied for and nationality are locked and cannot be changed. These core identity fields stay fixed even during the official correction window to prevent misuse.
How many times can I correct my IBPS PO application form?
IBPS allows only one correction attempt per candidate during the edit window. The most recently modified version of your application is treated as final, so review every field carefully before submitting your corrected form.
