I chooses Insurance and Investment in B.Com 3rd year. Does it have any negative effects on applying for Probationary Officer (PO) examination?

No, I do not think the paper in the B.Com will affect your score or the final selection in bank PO examination.

The required minimum qualification to appear for the examination is that candidate must have passed bachelor degree from a recognised university.

The age limit varies with examination.

Candidates need to prepare for the examination as per the syllabus of the examination to qualify in the examination.

Examination is conducted by IBPS and SBI.

To apply for the post of bank Probationary Officer across in nationalized or private banks of India, the minimum education required is a graduation degree in any discipline from a recognised university.
