No—the official IBPS pages checked on 8 October 2026 list a CRP CSA-XVI preliminary exam call letter, not a Mains admit card. The current portal’s download window for the preliminary call letter is shown as 1–11 October 2026. Use IBPS’s official cycle page to reach the correct link and confirm the latest notice before logging in.
Which IBPS call letter is available?
IBPS identifies the current recruitment cycle as CRP Customer Service Associate (CSA)-XVI. Its CRP CSA-XVI page lists the Online Preliminary Exam Call Letter and related preliminary resources, dated 1 October 2026. The IBPS homepage also labels its current update as the preliminary call letter, not a Mains call letter.
That distinction matters: a preliminary call letter is not an admit card for the Mains examination. The official evidence checked does not establish that the CSA-XVI Mains call letter has been released.
How to download the CSA-XVI preliminary call letter
- Open the official CRP CSA-XVI page and check that the notice is labelled “Online Preliminary Exam Call Letter.”
- Follow that notice’s link to the official IBPS candidate portal. Confirm the page identifies the document as the call letter for the Online Preliminary Examination.
- Enter your Registration No. or Roll No. and your Password or Date of Birth. The portal specifies the date-of-birth format as DD-MM-YY.
- Follow the portal’s instructions to view and download the call letter. The portal showed a download period of 1–11 October 2026 when checked on 8 October 2026; verify the current window on the portal before relying on those dates.
- If you have a login or access problem, use the help instructions on the official portal.
How to avoid a false Mains admit-card link
- Check the exam stage in the notice and on the login page. A page that says “Online Preliminary Examination” is for prelims, even if a post or search result describes it as a Mains admit card.
- Start from IBPS’s official CSA-XVI page rather than relying on a reposted or guessed direct link. No separate official CSA-XVI Mains download link is established by the pages checked.
- Do not use the previous recruitment cycle’s dates as proof of a current release. The CRP CSA-XV notification gave a tentative November 2025 period for its Mains call-letter download; that schedule belongs to the earlier cycle and does not establish a CSA-XVI Mains date or release.
What is—and is not—confirmed about Mains
As of the official-page check on 8 October 2026, the verified current notice is for the CSA-XVI preliminary call letter. The pages checked do not establish a CSA-XVI Mains call-letter release or current Mains exam date. Check the latest notice on IBPS’s official cycle page and rely on the details in your own official call letter for candidate-specific information.
