If we look at the work done at banks, then B.Com is the most suitable qualification for such jobs, but selection at PSU banks will not depend on your qualification.

If you want to get a bank clerk job, then complete any degree and them crack written exam and interview conducted by IBPS. B.Com, BBA, BCA, etc are degrees, which can be helpful.
