PPS was later renamed to Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) in 1984. The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection conducts the IBPS SO bank exam which is the gateway to many sought-after bank jobs.

IBPS provides its services to all Public-Sector Banks, SBI, Associate Banks of SBI, RBI, NABARD, SIDBI, LIC & Insurance companies, and other banks which are regular members of the IBPS society. In 2011, IBPS started the Common Recruitment Process (CRP) for the selection of personnel in Specialist Officers cadre posts and accepts online applications through its official website. The IBPS SO Exam is conducted every year to select candidates who join the participating public sector banks as Specialist officers.
