1) IT skills may help in internet banking
2) Operating system

KULWINDER

my suggestion is you apply for job. bcoz now a days banking systems computerized. so it is easier to b.tech/bca graduates to work in bank.
and easier to get job than other degree holders. i wish you should first write bank exam and then get job in bank.
********* good luck************

hello

now a days we are totally depending on technology so there is nothing wrong if you b.ETCH in IT branch.

after completion of the course then you can join MNC as per your skills..coming towards bank field.yes you can join as per the qualification and other eligibility criteria.

as in bank exam,there would question come from the problems,general basics and logical reasoning..

so if you want to join bank field you can ,but i would say better to finished your qualification,do not left in the middle of the course..after that you can apply for probationary officer (po) post..

"incomplete knowledge is injurious to health"

ok good luck

thank you

It is possible to apply for the banking job. But yes as some people have told you, it is not recommended for Engineering graduates. The banking jobs only requires graduation degree, which could be any course like BA, B.Com etc.

For Engineering graduates, it is not recommended to apply for the banking jobs since you can have better job in related field which in your case would be Information Technology.

You can apply for the job in various IT firms such as:

Infosys

Wipro

HCL

Tech Mahindra

Microsoft

Google

IBM


It is recommended to apply for job in these companies or SMEs which still would be better than banking job. I would only recommend either SBI Bank PO or the IBPS Bank PO entrance exam. If you are not eligible for these exams then please do not apply for banking job.

IBPS stands for Institute of Banking Personnel Services. It conducts entrance exams for 20 public sector banks.


IBPS Bank PO Eligibility

1. You should have graduation degree.

2. With at least 60 percent marks.

3. SC/ST should have 55 percent marks.

4. Diploma/degree in Computers is also required. Your B.Tech in IT would be sufficient.

5. The age limit is 20 to 28 years.

6. Three years relaxation for OBC.

7. Five years relaxation for SC/ST.

8. Ten years relaxation for PWD.


State Bank of India also conducts a Bank PO exam. It does not rely on the IBPS to conduct its entrance exam. Therefore in case you are not eligible for IBPS Bank PO, then consider appearing for the SBI Bank PO.


SBI Bank PO Eligibility

1. A graduation degree from valid college.

2. There is no minimum marks criteria.

3. You should have Computer operating skills.

4. Age limit is 21 to 30 years.

5. There is 3 years relaxation for OBC.

6. While on the other hand 5 years for SC/ST.

Yes you can apply for Bank jobs in India after completion of your Engineering Graduation.

Banks exams are conducted by IBPS and SBI for all the government banks recruitment in India.

You can apply for following posts in bank after completion of Engineering Graduation:

-Probationary Officer

-Specialist Officer

-Clerk

If you are only interested in Engineering jobs then apply for Specialist officer posts. There are many type of specialist officers in bank and engineering graduates can apply for this post.

PO and Clerk are more related to banking field and if you don't want to do a job which doesn't involve engineering basics then you should not apply for this exam.

Age Limit for Bank Exams:

For Clerk - 18 to 28 years

For PO - 21 to 30 years

For Specialist Officers - 21 to 35 years

Age relaxation is available to reserved category candidates.

SC/ST : 5 years relaxation

OBC : 3 years relaxation

PWD : 10 years relaxation

Selection Procedure:

-Written examination

-Interview

You have to clear cut off marks in written then only you will be eligible for interview. Hence be prepared for the written exam.

Dear Friend

Who has said that that engineering students are not eligible for the banks ,they have wrong information ,do not worry ,you are eligible for the bank exams after completing final year or during final year of engineering.

Yes ,it is right that lots of people talk that if your final destination was to join bank then why did you go for engineering and spent lacs of rupees and four years.You can become eligible for the banks exam by doing B.A or B.com or B.sc .

But do not worry about what the people think ,please do what is as per your career goal.As we all know that people will always throw stones in your path and now it depends upon you whether you make bridge or wall.

Bridge will help your cross over whereas the wall will cause hindrance.So concentrate on your studies.
