The syllabus and pattern for IBPS PO prelims is as follows:

There is negative marking for each incorrect answer. The negative marking is 0.25 for every incorrect answer. For this exam you will have to practice alot and increase your speed. You have to qualify for every part to qualify for mains exam.
