Recruitment for IBPS PO 2013

Indian Banking  Personnel Selection(IBPS) is the common selection commission which conducts examination and interview and selects suitable candidates for the post of Probationary Officer, Clerk, Multi-Tasking Assistants, Specialist Officer for all Nationalized Indian Banks except State Bank of India. State Bank of India conducts its own recruitment process for SBI and its associate banks like State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur, State Bank of Hyderabad, State Bank of Mysore, State Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Travancore. The test patterns for PO, clerk, Specialist officers are same but you have to write something extra about your specialization for specialist officer recruitment. PO exam will be more complicated than clerical cadre exam and will expect some knowledge on economics. Now IBPS has released notification for IBPS PO 2013. Read Official Notification Before applying.

 

IBPS expects Degree (Graduation) with 60% marks in any subjects but should have studied in recognized university. For Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes, Persons with Disability(PWD) are excempted with just 55% of marks in their graduation. Other Equivalent qualification is also eligible. Final year students cannot apply for this exam. Students studied in Open University, correspondence course can also apply for this exam. Computer knowledge is very important to apply for this post. Nowadays everyone uses computer and even we should apply via online mode only. They don’t expect practical knowledge alone. They asks for any certificates and it is mandatory to be produced when called for interview. If you have taken Bio Maths group or Pure science group in school education and after that you have done B.A. English for graduation you might have no separate classes for computer science so there won’t be any certificates for Computer knowledge in college and high school. If you fall in such criteria don’t worry if you have completed any certificate courses in any recognized institutes made for computer education like Apollo, CSC or NIIT. In the case if you don’t have such certificates too then I suggest you not to apply for this post.

Operating and working knowledge in computer systems is mandatory i.e. candidates should have Certificate/Diploma/Degree in computer operations/Language/ should have studied Computer / Information Technology as one of the subjects in the High School/College/Institute.
