IBPS Clerk does not publish a public answer key in the way commission examinations do. Scores are released to each candidate individually rather than as a key with a challenge window.
What is released, and when
After each stage the conducting body publishes a result — a list of shortlisted roll numbers — followed by a scorecard visible in the candidate login. IBPS does not share Main Examination scores until the provisional allotment process is complete.
Calculating your own score
Yes — one fourth of the marks assigned to a question is deducted for each wrong answer. Because there is no official key, any score you calculate from an unofficial one is an estimate. Treat it as a rough indicator of whether to keep preparing for the next stage, not as a result.
