Candidates must meet the eligibility criteria, including nationality, age, educational qualification and, most importantly, proficiency in the local language of the state\/UT they are applying for. The application process will be conducted online from 1st August to 21st August 2025, with a fee of Rs. 175\/- for SC\/ST\/PWD\/Ex-Servicemen\/WSM candidates and Rs. 850\/- for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Rule from the Official Notification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Since recruitment in the clerical cadre in Public Sector Banks is done on State\/UT-wise basis, candidates can apply for vacancies in any one State\/UT only.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can apply for only one state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will be considered for vacancies in that state only, irrespective of your domicile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.practicemock.com%2Fs1pricing%2Findex.php%3Fc%3Dpremium&amp;ref=13841\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Banking-Plus-Course.png\" alt=\"banking plus course\" class=\"wp-image-164350\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applying from home state: Advantages and Disadvantages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Proficiency in local language: <\/strong>You are naturally proficient in the local language (reading, writing, speaking, understanding), which is mandatory for final selection.

I cleared many bank exams time by time but couldn't join because of my passion towards writing. I write blogs to help aspirants prepare for Banking and Insurance exams. These blogs turn out to be a one-stop destination for comprehensive information on some of the biggest competitive exams like SBI PO\/Clerk, IBPS PO\/Clerk, IBPS RRB PO\/Clerk and RBI. My ultimate goal is to provide accurate and easy-to-understand information, covering topics like exam patterns, syllabus, study techniques, and more. Join me on this journey of knowledge!","url":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/author\/ss8860409gmail-com\/"}]}},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Will-Any-one-Apply-For-IBPS-Clerk.png",1200,675,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Will-Any-one-Apply-For-IBPS-Clerk.png",150,84,false],"medium":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Will-Any-one-Apply-For-IBPS-Clerk.png",300,169,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Will-Any-one-Apply-For-IBPS-Clerk.png",640,360,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Will-Any-one-Apply-For-IBPS-Clerk.png",640,360,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Will-Any-one-Apply-For-IBPS-Clerk.png",1200,675,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Will-Any-one-Apply-For-IBPS-Clerk.png",1200,675,false],"web-stories-poster-portrait":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Will-Any-one-Apply-For-IBPS-Clerk.png",640,360,false],"web-stories-publisher-logo":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Will-Any-one-Apply-For-IBPS-Clerk.png",96,54,false],"web-stories-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Will-Any-one-Apply-For-IBPS-Clerk.png",150,84,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Sweta Singh","author_link":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/author\/ss8860409gmail-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Thinking of applying for IBPS Clerk from your home state or another state?
