Public sector banks are soon going to enter in a process to recruit over 50,000 officers and clerks in about a month or two.
A. S. Bhattacharya, Director, Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) said that they have requested banks to intimate them about the vacancies for the next financial year. There may be confirmation by August/September and the process will begin then.
"I expect the number of vacancies to be in the similar range for the forthcoming recruitment phase," the IBPS Chief said.
This will be an advantage for those who cleared the probationary officers and clerical examinations conducted by the IBPS earlier and waiting for jobs. As the validity of their qualification is up to March 2014, they stand to gain in the recruitment for the next financial year which is likely to be completed before the same deadline.
Most of the aspirants complain that the allotment of candidates to banks by IBPS in the recent past was lower than the notified vacancies in a particular bank.
