You must not take this task lightly as you must remember upon selection IBPS will allot you the bank on the basis of your merit and preference. Then you’ll be in that bank for a long period of time, you’ll be starting your career with this.
Participating Banks in IBPS PO 2017 Exam
Allahabad Bank | Bank of Maharashtra | Dena Bank | Oriental Bank of Commerce | UCO Bank |
Andhra Bank | Canara Bank | IDBI Bank | Punjab National Bank | Union Bank of India |
Bank of Baroda | Central Bank of India | Indian Bank | Punjab & Sind Bank | United Bank of India |
Bank of India | Corporation Bank | Indian Overseas Bank | Syndicate Bank | Vijaya Bank |
If I’ll prefer banks that have not yet declared their vacancies (NR/Nill) then how will this effect my selection?
This questions might be bugging you as there are 20 participating banks out of which 4 have not declared their vacancies with the status NR and 6 banks have vacancy status Nill. But if you choose these banks as priority in your preference list this will have absolutely No Effect On Your Selection. Remember, as there are 20 participating organisations, all those who have not declared their vacancies yet might declare them on later stage of recruitment. So if you’ll select any bank out of these 20 as priority, then upon declaration of complete vacancies you’ll have good chance of getting the Bank of your choice.
Make your Preference Choice Based on Headquarters of the banks
The headquarters is the best criteria for choosing a bank. This is because whatever bank you chose, you will find more number of branches in the state where the headquarter is located. Now if we take the example of Bank of Baroda, it has more number of branches in Gujrat and the probability of getting the posting in Gujrat increases. Although BOB conducts its own recruitment through Manipal program but still you can fill BOB as your first preference. Understand this, if a bank decided to recruit through IBPS recruitment it can declare vacancies later on. So you can chose accordingly and choose wisely.
