IBPS Issues Zero-Tolerance Advisory, Tightens Anti-Cheating Protocols for Banking Recruitment Exams

The testing agency says advanced analytics with a review committee will screen scores to protect genuine candidates.

Overview

  • IBPS published updated protocols on November 19 reinforcing a zero-tolerance stance against cheating, impersonation and proxy candidates.
  • The agency will deploy multi-layered post-exam analytics, including answer-pattern similarity checks, descriptive-response scrutiny, and biometric or personal-data verification.
  • Flagged cases will be reviewed by a Committee for Detection of Unfair Means that examines statistical, behavioral and invigilator evidence before action.
  • Scores inferred as non-genuine will not be declared, and IBPS reserves the right to cancel candidature or retract results later based on additional analysis.
  • The measures apply to PO, Clerk and RRB recruitment and are presented as protecting legitimate aspirants, with methods consistent with practices upheld by Indian courts.
