3. Relaxation in the upper age limit: EWS candidates are provided with relaxation in the upper age limit for appearing in the IBPS PO Exam. The exact age relaxation may vary from year to year, depending on the guidelines issued by the government.

4. Relaxation in the number of attempts: EWS candidates are also given relaxation in the number of attempts for the IBPS PO Exam. The exact number of attempts allowed for EWS candidates may vary from year to year, as per the government guidelines.

5. Notification: The exact details regarding the restrictions on the number of attempts for EWS candidates are mentioned in the official notification released by IBPS for each recruitment cycle. Candidates are advised to carefully read the notification to understand the eligibility criteria and restrictions applicable to their category.

It is important for EWS candidates to take note of the restrictions on the number of attempts and avail the benefits provided to them. By understanding the eligibility criteria and preparing effectively for the exam, EWS candidates can increase their chances of success in the IBPS PO Exam.
