    With the online exam,I think we can expect result within a month...great news...

    kaykay said...

    Great move by IBPS.but I have doubt regard ing the practical feasibility to conducting the exam with a huge No of candidates by providing large scale of online computer ends for examinees at a time. The institutes conducting or give facilities to conducting online exam having more or less 100 to 150 seats ,and No of such institutes are very less . So how they could arrange a such a huge lots of aspirants.

    rohit kapoor said...

    Appreciable job done by Ibps..replacing OMR SHEET with online testing seems interesting..but the aspirants would be little bit nervous for clicking the correct answer rather than circling it .common interview concept is welcomed .all the best my friends.

    friends. . . if we lost in ibps 2012 again we have to wait for next 2013 exam . . . individual bank exams are better tham ibps . . . ibps ruining opportunities of unemployes . . . for gre n toefl, they unable to allot slots for students How can we expect for 40 lakhs aspirants? . . . even students know how many problems arise in online exam? . . . i think ibps dont have staff who passed even 10th class also . . . ibps cwe exam is just like scam n govt scheme . . it never helpful for people. . .
