How Will Selection Happen?
The process is merit-based and transparent:
Merit List: Prepared outlet-wise based on your graduation percentage (up to two decimal places—no rounding allowed!).
Tie-Breakers: If percentages match, DoP service seniority decides; if that's equal, date of birth comes into play.
Possible Online Test: IPPB reserves the right to conduct one for added screening.
Document Verification: Includes vigilance clearance, penalty statements, and NOC from DoP.
Pro tip: Convert grades (like CGPA) to exact percentages using your university's formula—any mismatch means rejection. Selected candidates will be posted only at the outlet they apply for.
