Sir/Mam,

I completed MCA. I completed software course in Hyderabad.After some problems I am at home for 6 months.I loosed in interest in that field.I am good at arithmetic and reasoning but weak in English.which is right choice to prepare for either banking exam or software job?

First and fore most thing you need to analyze your interest that will show the way you have to go for. Compared to software field Banking is good sector in sense of security, risk less, in terms pressure there will be less pressure when compared with Software job.

Coming to your weakness english is not at all a problem for banking field. But yes minimum basic knowledge is required for Bank exams. Otherwise selection will not takes place. You need also look into the competition for Bank exams. Lot of people are selecting the banking is good filed. So you have to take care that too.

Firs of all i will suggest you to brush up all the concepts that you left 6 months aga.
try to build interest in study first then think of the field you want to go in.

Because, as of now you are not interested in the firld you used to be interested and want to get job in that field that seems to be easy for you and this can leads to wrong decision, as you are not taking decision mentally instead you are deciding emotionally.
SO, take your time.

In terms of job security and other benefits, banking jobs are better than software jobs. As you have also lost your interest in software field, so it will be better to prepare for banking entrance exams. You must work for English section if you want to crack any of banking entrance exams. English plays a vital role in cracking this section.

As you have done Master of Computer Applications, you can apply for Institute of Banking Personnel and Selection Common Written exam for post of Clerk and Probationary officer. The age limit for clerk is 20-28 years. For PO exam, it is 20-30 years. Upper age relaxation applicable candidates of reserved category.

The right choice is to go for banking jobs and its concerned exams.
