Dear friend,

Sorry you are not eligible to appear for the bank test.The minimum age limit is 20.

The new eligibility criteria for IBPS Clerk Common Written Exam 2013

-You must have a degree

Until now, even +2 pass candidates were allowed to sit for bank exams. However, starting this year, the criteria has been changed. For IBPS Clerk CWE 2013, you must have a valid degree from a recognized university.

-You must have computer skills

This is another significant change that has happened in IBPS Clerk Exam 2013’s criteria. At the time of application, you need to show proof that you have basic computer skills. This proof could be your mark sheet of +2, if you had computer science as a subject, or a certificate course from a recognized institute such as NIIT.

-Age limit

The lower age limit for IBPS Clerk Exam 2013 is 20 years, while the upper age limit is 28 years.

Application to only one state

This year, you can apply to national banks in one state only. In order to apply to a particular state, you must be fluent in the local language of the state.

Sorry to say
You can only apply for the post in the bank after completing your graduation.

Here are some of the eligibility criterias

IBPS CLERKS exams:
Graduation Pass.
Final year Graduation Students cannot apply
Age should be between 20 and 28 years

IBPS PO exams:
Graduation Pass with minimum 60% marks.
Final year Graduation Students cannot apply
Age should be between 20 and 30 years

Eligibility for the BANK PO exams:
Graduation Pass.
Final year Graduation Students cannot apply.

Graduation is the basic qualification for bank exams. Such candidates can apply for CWE for Clerk/P.O positions conducted by IBPS. They should submit adequate documents proving eligibility at the time of interview. You can also attend the selection test, provided you must adequate documents at the time of interview. For clerical post the upper age limit is 28 years and that for P.O, it is 30 years.

You can not apply for the bank exam until you have completed the graduation course. Even final year students are not eligible for it. Therefore you will first have to complete graduation. Besides the minimum age to apply is 20 years for bank exams while you are 19 years old.

Once you have completed graduation you can apply for IBPS Clerk and IBPS Bank PO entrance exam. In my opinion you should appear for the Bank PO entrance exam. The use of bank exams is that you can apply for job in Public sector banks. It is like a government job.

Like I mentioned after graduating you will be eligible for the exam. The Institute of Banking Personnel Services (IBPS) conducts Clerk exam twice in a year while Bank PO is conducted once in the month of June.

The details of exact procedure to apply is given on the www.ibps.in. This information is released along with the official notification for the exam. It also explains the procedure to apply for the entrance exam.
