Will the IBPS Clerk 2025 Deadline Be Extended? A Look at Previous Patterns

In the 2024 recruitment drive, IBPS advanced the Clerk application deadline by approximately a week. A similar move was seen in 2023, when the closing date was shifted from July 21 to July 28. Given this recurring trend, the deadline could also be extended in 2025. However, this is not guaranteed, and if granted, the extension is expected to be brief, likely only a few extra days.
