Applicants are strictly advised to fill out the online form with extreme care and upload all mandatory documents including a detailed Resume, Biodata, ID proof, Age proof, Caste/PwBD certificates (if applicable), educational degree, mandatory IIBF certification, and proof of experience. Failure to provide any required document will result in automatic disqualification from the shortlisting process.

The selection parameters follow a straightforward roadmap:

• Shortlisting: A specialized committee formed by the Bank will determine the precise shortlisting parameters. Based on these metrics, the Bank will select an adequate number of candidates for the next phase. The Bank’s decision regarding shortlisting outcomes remains absolute and final.
• Interview: Shortlisted applicants will undergo a formal interview round carrying 100 marks. The minimum qualifying score thresholds will be set entirely at the Bank’s discretion.
• Merit List: The final selection merit list will be structured in descending order based solely on marks secured in the interview phase. In the event of a tie-breaker situation where multiple candidates share the same score, they will be ranked by age (older candidates are placed higher).
• Probation Period: Appointed candidates must serve a mandatory 6-month probation period in accordance with the Bank’s current recruitment policies.
