The Office Assistant Prelims is on 6, 12 and 13 December 2026 as per the IBPS calendar. The notification’s tentative schedule puts the Prelims call letter download in November/December 2026, and that call letter is where your exam centre is shown.

How exam centres are allotted
Annexure II lists separate Prelims and Main exam centres for 28 states and UTs, and the Main list is often shorter — West Bengal, for example, has 7 Prelims centres (Asansol, Burdwan, Durgapur, Hooghly, Kalyani, Kolkata, Siliguri) but 3 Main centres (Asansol, Kolkata, Siliguri). IBPS can cancel or add centres. You travel to the centre at your own risk and expense.
