🏦 CSA = Customer Service Associate — What Changed from "Clerk"
IBPS officially renamed the "Clerk" post to "Customer Service Associate (CSA)" in recent CRP cycles. The role remains the same — front-desk banking operations in public sector banks. If you've been searching for "IBPS Clerk 2026" — this is the same recruitment. Posts are filled in participating public sector banks (PSBs) including State Bank associates (non-SBI), Bank of Baroda, Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, Union Bank, and others. Exact bank list in the full notification.
⚠️ Note — "Personal Interview" in Selection Process: The source lists "Personal Interview" as Stage 3 in the IBPS CSA selection process. Historically, IBPS Clerk/CSA did NOT have an interview — selection was based on Prelims + Mains scores only. This may be (1) a new addition in the 16th cycle, or (2) a copy-paste carry-over from the IBPS PO selection process. Verify from the full official notification at ibps.in before assuming interview is applicable. If interview has been added, it significantly changes preparation strategy.
