IBPS PO 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 withholds Main Examination scores entirely until the interview process is complete.
Calculating your own score
Yes — one fourth of the marks assigned to a question is deducted for each wrong answer. Questions left blank carry no penalty. 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.
