Notification about IBPS Clerks V Main Exam result

Friends, the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) has released a notification about IBPS Clerks V Main Exam Result.

It says "Candidates appeared in the Main Examination are hereby requested to follow IBPS website for further information in this regard".

Analysis : Frankly speaking, there is nothing new in this so called notification. This one lined notification just shows the arrogancy  of the organization. IBPS just released this notification to get rid from the overwhelming phone calls and emails asking about the date of IBPS Clerks V Main Examination Result. They didn't mention the possible date of the result and about the Interview process. So, it seems the organization is still in dilemma whether to conduct Interviews or not. Anyways, we don't have any other option except to wait. Let's hope for the best.
