Before you begin, keep the following ready:
Scanned photograph, signature, left thumb impression, and a handwritten declaration in English.

Valid email ID and a working mobile number.
Decide your State/UT in advance – you cannot change it later.
Follow these steps:
Visit the official IBPS online registration portal- Direct link available on below.
Click on “CRP Clerical / CSA – New Registration” and enter your name, contact details and email ID to generate a provisional registration number and password.
Log in again and fill in personal, educational and category details. Select the State/UT you want to apply for and the local language you opt for.

Preview the complete application form carefully, correct any mistakes and submit.

Submit the form and download or print the system‑generated e‑receipt and the filled application for your records.
