Despite being a tumultuous year for the education sector, 2020 has seen a record number of candidates apply for the IBPS exam. This number stands at 1.4 crores. With the dates for the prelims now set, there is a rush to prepare for it and the mains exam that follows it. Both the exams require candidates to present the admit card/hall ticket to enter the exam hall.
