Hmm .. Bank PO is not for engineers .. very true .. But, when you don't have any other option .. Then, go for it and prepare for your dream job alongside ..

its not so that the bank job is not for engineers, bt if you want to get much more success then you should prefer engineering line jobs like in TCS or in WIPRO

hi , i am rekha i have completed mca in 2008.now i want to go in it field but i cant understand what i do please help me

Being an engineer myself I think that working as a PO is not a bad idea ! Because we all know that there is no stability in the private sector, so government service provides us a relief for lifetime. And qualifying PO exam is also so easy it still requires preparation.
I'll suggest that Neha you must go for PO as payscale has also increased so it gives a better start other than working in a core sector.

Hi,

Don't worry friend.

Bank PO exam is not for engineers but if you have no choice then you can go to Bank Po Exam.

Bank PO exam is easy and you can crack the exam.
So i suggest you go to Bank PO exam.

Best of Luck.

If you have any query feel free to leave thread on this forum.

Thank.

Hi Neha,

If you had added more details like the percentage you have received in engineering, it would have helped me in answering your question. Now as much as I can understand, you have failed to get a job which lead you to prepare for the IBPS Bank PO.

Surely people are right in saying that Bank PO is not something for the engineer. You definitely won't find any problem in the job. You simply being a engineer should apply for better jobs available.

Now I am not sure whether you have tried for job in Public Sector Undertaking or not. These government controlled companies offer jobs to the Electronics and Communication Engineers. But for that you need to meet certain criteria.


Eligibility

1. Candidate should have B.Tech degree.

2. At least 60 percent marks in Engineering.

3. There should be no pending backlogs.

4. The age limit to apply is 21 to 30 years.

5. There is 5 years relaxation for SC/ST.

6. OBC candidates get 3 years relaxation.

If you meet this criteria then please apply for the PSU job. These companies often releases notification regarding the entrance exam. The process includes a written test followed by interview.

However it helps to appear for GATE exam as well. You have not cleared the GATE entrance exam. It is a very bad move considering that most companies these days gives preference to candidates who have good GATE score. I will strongly recommend you to appear for the GATE entrance exam.


Indian Engineering Service

Apart from the PSU, another good option is Indian Engineering Service. Again I am unaware if you have applied for it or not. Jobs offered under the IES exam are very prestigious and engineering candidates try their best to get these jobs.

The exam is conducted every year by the Union Public Service Commission. The jobs offered in the various central government departments. You should definitely apply for the exam if it is possible for you to do so. You will definitely meet the criteria.


Eligibility

1. Candidate should be Indian citizen.

2. A B.Tech degree from a recognized university.

3. There is no percentage criteria.

4. Age limit is 21 to 30 years.

5. Relaxation is 3 years for OBC and 5 years for SC/ST.


I will recommend that you apply for these jobs especially the Indian Engineering Service. Instead of preparing for IBPS Bank PO, you should prepare for the next Indian Engineering Service exam.

As to answer your another question. I am not aware of the city where you currently resides. But surely the big metropolitan cities offer better opportunities. So Delhi could be a good option, so does other cities as well.

If you are not interested in Engineering job then there is no problem to apply for bank PO job.

Most of the engineers become Bank PO every year. There is no problem in choosing a more secure job .

Government jobs are far more secure than private jobs .

In fact there are jobs for Engineers also in bank as Specialist officers.

You can apply for specialist officers post in bank if you are interested in Engineering job in bank.

The selection will be based on :

-Written Exam

-Personal Interview and GD

There will be sectional cutoff in objective paper and negative marking will be there for wrong answers.

Those who qualify paper will be called for Interview.

The merit will be prepared on the basis of marks obtained and if you are high on merit then you can get the job ahead of others.

For more information visit http://www.ibps.in

Dear There,



Both engineering and bank PO jobs are better. But, if you are interested in banking jobs then obviously you can apply for bank PO examinations.

Bank PO is a secure and a government job.

The eligibility criteria for bank PO examinations are prescribed as below:-

* Graduation in any stream from any recognised college or university.

* Age limit:- 21-30 yrs.

* Age relaxation:- 3 yrs for OBC and 5 yrs for SC/ST contendors.

* Marks:- 60% in graduation for SBI and 55% for IBPS.

* Nationality:- Indian.

Hope the above mentioned will help you to get the information you were searching for.

Is the bank PO job in Vijaya bank or Secretariat Assistant in Tvm is better for the age of 32 male

Being an engineer myself I think that working as a PO is not a bad idea ! Because we all know that there is no stability in the private sector, so government service provides us a relief for lifetime. And qualifying PO exam is also so easy it still requires preparation.
I'll suggest that Neha you must go for PO as payscale has also increased so it gives a better start other than working in a core sector.

The job as a PO for an engineer is very much suitable my friend. you can join it and get the same packages as you get in an engineering field work. In fact many of the PO’s in the bank are from the engineering background. If you think that the technical foeld or job doesn’t give you the precise satisfaction then you can also chose the banking sector as your career. The requirement for being a PO is that you should be a graduate from any stream with an aggregate of 60% marks and your age should be in between 20-28 yars of age.

Yes even engineers can do the Bank P.O job there is no wrong in that career,Infact that is a good career for any one who knows the basics of maths and calculations.

So since you are not good at the programming prepare well for these jobs only you can get a job for sure.

Hi i am sweta,i have completed my engineering in cse in the year 2013 with 73% currently i am jobless,i am confused whether should i go for C-DAC or should prepare for bank jobs....plz give me some suggestion

Hi i am sana,i'm pursuying B.Tech final year computer science and engineering,can i apply for bank job right now! what job suits in bank for my degree with aggregate of 72%.please reply me...

Its not that only candidates of specific streams are eligible to join as Probationary Officers in Banks.

All the candidates who have completed Graduation with any of the stream are eligible to join as Probationary Officers. But it is not so easy to get PO job in Banks.

The reason is huge number of candidates are applying for bank PO Exams and hence there is healthy competition among the candidates.

So, you should have strong preparation towards written exam. Then only you will get good score in the Interview and will get job.

The selection procedure would involve
Written Exam
Interview

The written exam consists of questions from the following categories
Reasoning
Numerical Ability
General Awareness
General English
Computer Knowledge

The success manthra for Bank PO job is your score in the written exam. Whatever the score that you are going to get in written exam should be more than cut off score.

Then only you will get call for the Interview.

So, as you are not interested in your core jobs, Bank Jobs will be good choice for you.

Better join in a coaching institute and carry out your preparation.

Have strong practice.
Attempt mock tests
Time to time assess your performance.
Know the areas where you are getting low marks and overcome those things

These things will benefit you in written exam.

Wish you all the best.

Hi I am Sanjeevkumar....

Being 3 years experienced professional in software industry I am trying for bank PO.There is nothing wrong in choosing bank PO as carrer.

Every stream has its own benefits and drawbacks.

If you want to need peaceful and secured life go for PO.Compared to IT industry pay scale is somewhat in PO low but still bank PO is good choice.
One more important point is your job will be secured.

If you choose IT as an carrer you will earn more money but no mental peace.
Always you need to update yourself with new skill and technologies,otherwise you will thrown out.
Chances of loosing job is more, I mean to say always you have to struggle hard to retore your job.

Now decide yourself.

Banks make you a Manager in 2 years .
IT makes you manager in 8-10 years.

Banks give you reputation in society and also, in 8-10 years, you can rise upto level V .
IT may ( it just means, " may give you ") give you more money but will take your peace of mind and you will be called to offices at odd hours, disturbing your Work life Balance .

An ibps PO has starting salary of around 27k in hand with 3-5k as other allowances ( Petrol, house lease etc ). So, starting salary is better then Infosys, TCS, Ericsson, Accenture, Tech Mahindra etc . And in terms of respect, you cannot compare .

I completed mca in 2014.I am good at arithmetics and reasoning but weak in English. I completed software course in hyderabad after some problems 6 months I at home I lossed my interest.In this scenario which job I want prepare either bank job or software job.

I am an ece persuing 2nd year student frm blore. I am confused a lot about which job t take up as my carrier. My practical knowledge abt electronicz is not high. But evn if I struggle t get into Core sector.. ppl say it's very hard t b there fr long tym.. is it true?? Which is better one banking sector r d core companies - in terms f package n chances f working in abroad??
Plz let me know soon..

Hiiii...
My name is Rahul Singh from PUNE.I have completed my BE (ENTC) 2015 BATCH from pu.my degree aggregate percentage is 53.120. In last year i got 60.120% .
So my question is can i apply for bank po?????

Pls help me.....

I have about to complete engineering in ece and in what field I should go I m totally confused there are so many options.... also not able to recognise in which sector I m strong....

please please do not join a bank if you can read and write that is the only qualification required to work in a bank in fact a 1st standard child can work in a bank if it has the mental maturity. you are over qualified and the bankers job is so boring and highly risky also. as you are jobless you may be tempted to join a bank but you will repent after joining this is not a place to work

You can go with PO. only work load is high in this Job.
Don't think that just because you are an Engineer, you can't do PO's work.
You can easily do this.
work hard & Keep determined.
You will definitely get success in your work.
You can also prepare for The Bank Exam by taking help of eduncle.com, where you will get right direction for your career.
Best of Luck
