Banking is one of the fastest growing sectors Worldwide. Being a 12th standard student, first you must select the Graduation course, which is related to Banking. You can select the specializations like, Economics, Commerce, Finance, Management, Accounts etc. However, I recommend B.Com which is closely related to Banking sector. Once, after completing Graduation you can enter into Banking by qualifying in Bank Clerk or PO entrance exam.

IBPS PO Exam Eligibility Criteria:

- Applicants having Bachelor degrees of minimum three years of duration of any of the recognized University are eligible to apply.

- Applicants age should not be crossed than 30 years and not below than 20 years.

- Applicants must have good Computer Knowledge.
