There is no mandatory courses for bank PO exams other than the requirement that the candidate has to pass the graduation level with difference in reservation criteria accordingly. Some private banks provide courses for direct recruitment to those banks, but they are self financing courses. All PSE banks and nationalized banks make use of IBPS exams for recruitment. For clearing IBPS you must practice in quantitative aptitude , reasoning and mathematical ability along with verbal abilities. No particular courses are required for the same. But you may enroll for short term courses for aptitude practice or you can do it yourself at home with the help of some guide books. "Quantitative Aptitude" By DR.R S Aggarwal is a good book.

No need to do separate courses for Bank PO Exams. Actually you need to have good basic knowledge on computers. There is No need to tale coaching for all the Basics. But coming to the Written Exams there will be a Section called " Computer Knowledge. There you will be asked by questions like " Operating System, Data base Internet and some other Topics.

As you said you are preparing for Bank PO Exams while from 3rd year onwards. And it is a good news and you should concentrate both on Computer Knowledge and Other topics.

Don't stick to one subject while preparing to Bank Exams.

There is no need for any course. After completing your B.Com degree you can apply for Bank PO exams. You can do some computer course that will help you in computer awareness part of PO exam. You can pursue any basic computer course with Excel and Word.
Also you can join any coaching Institute for Aptitude, General Awareness and Data Interpretation.

As you are a B.Com 1st year student, I suggest you to concentrate well of B.Com Studies. Yes, it is very much suggestible that you need to concentrate on your Graduate Studies rather Banking Examinations. There is a lot of time for you to appear in Bank Probationary Officer Recruitment Examinations. The basic educational qualification required to be eligible for appear in Bank PO Examination is "Graduate Degree" or Bachelor Degree in any discipline from a recognized university. Or else candidates who are pursuing their Final year are also eligible to appear in Bank PO Examinations. So you will be pursuing Final year of B.Com after 2 years, so I suggest you to concentrate on B.Com studies first because passing educational qualification successfully is the most important factor here. Yes I suggest you concentate well and get good command over Reasoning, General English, General Awareness (Current Affairs and Banking Awareness) and Quantitative Aptitude sections to get good score in Bank PO Examination.
