And the few banks which are associated with IBPS are

All these associated banks will recruit the personal through the common channel via IBPS.

IBPS Exam structure

IBPS exam are conducted twice a year. Apart from the common written exam (CWE), and once the applicants had cleared the exam then each and every bank will have special process for recruitment in their own bank. So the applicant can go through the selection procedure in that particular bank and can apply for the same. So the basic criterion to approach all these banks for recruitment process is the scores from IBPS exam. The question paper type for clearing the IBPS exam will different for each and every year. And this year the basic structure of IBPS exam is given below.

IBPS Exam Pattern :



Basic eligibility criteria for applying IBPS exam-

1. The age limit of the applying for IBPS exam should include that the candidate must be within 30 years. But under certain privileges, the age limit can be extended like mentioned below.

a. If the person is physically challenged then the age relaxation given is 10 years.

Good luck

I wonder why do you want PSU Bank job? You have already worked in much better companies like General Electricals, BOA and Barclay's. Surely you can get a much better paid job in the private sector therefore I can't understand the reason to work in Public Sector Banks. Also I must mention that you are over qualified for these jobs. IBPS Clerical and Bank PO requires a graduation degree where you have completed post graduation.


I really don't think that you should apply for the job, either I believe you would be able to do so because you will not be able to meet the age criteria. You have already passed the age limit for the IBPS Clerk which is 28 years. The age limit for IBPS Bank PO is 30 years but since the next time this exam will take place in 2013, you will not be able to make the cut for this one either.



IBPS Clerk Eligibility

1. Age limit is 20 to 28 years which is applicable to General category.

2. For OBC age limit is relaxed by 3 years.

3. SC/ST are eligible for 5 years relaxation.

4. A graduation degree in any stream is required.



IBPS Bank PO Eligibility

1. A graduation degree from a recognized university.

2. Age limit is 20 to 30 years.

3. Age limit for OBC is 20 to 33 years.

4. While for SC/ST, age limit is 20 to 35 years.


Unless you belong with reserve category there is no chance for you to appear for any of the two exams. Therefore you must forget about IBPS Exams and instead look for job related to your qualification. If you have completed MBA in Finance or Banking then you should be able to find a job in private banks like ICICI, HDFC, Standard Chartered, IDBI, Axis Bank etc.

Hi,

First thing that you should know is that IBPS exam is conducted for 20 public sector banks.

And there is an eligibility criteria for this exam.

IBPS exam conducts Bank PO / Bank clerk and specilats officer exam.

For Bank PO and Clerk exams only graduation is necessary, percentage does
not matter.

To be eligible for IBPS bank exams --

You should be a graduate in any subject from any recognised university.

For Bank PO exam, Your age should be between 20 years to 30 years.

For Bank clerk exam, your age should be between 20 years to 28 years.

The age relaxation for OBC is 3 years and SC/ST is 5 years.

You should know how to use computers.

SO, if you have already crossed 30 years of age and you are a general category candidate, then you are not eligible for Bank Clerk and Bank PO exam.

However, since you have done MBA, you can apply for Specialist officer exam.

The specialist exam is conducted for various departments. and age required is between 21 years to 35 years.

The General candidate have upper age limit is 30 years for the PO and further reserved categories have some age relaxation in the upper age limit.
