IBPS Clerk Main expected cut-off.

We have reached this conclusions based on the experience shared by some of the candidates attended  IBPS Clerk CWE-V  main examination. This "expected cut-off" is a wild guess only.Because IBPS is unpredictable these days.As per the information available on media , vacancy is around 25-30k. But this need not be true.There is also a speculation that, there will not be any interview round for clerk recruitment. IBPS has not yet confirmed this rumour. The expected cut-off given below is applicable only if IBPS calls thrice the total number of vacancy available for interview or further round.
