[Rajkumar Agarwal]

Yes, it is compulsory to mention Email ID while filling the Application Form for the post of PO (Probationary Officer) in IBPS or Institute of Banking Personnel Selection as all communications will be addressed to the email and mobile number provided during IBPS PO registration.

Delivery of these emails purely depends upon the correctness of E-Mail ID provided, Policy of E-Mail Service Provider to accept and Divert such emails under Bulk or Spam Mails or bounce back such mails without accepting it due to heavy number of emails generated by Applications.
