It was part of the CWE VIII selection process for which the exams & interview were held in the year 2018 – 2019. Congratulations to all those who are selected to start a new journey of their lives in the public sector banks.

Now you are just one step away to start a new life in a bank and this next step is the allotment process which will be started by the banks soon. As you know that, it is only a provisional allotment means it is subject to the candidate fulfilling the criteria for Participating Organisation and identity verification to the satisfaction of the allotted organisation.

The common query which most students are raising is about Documents required to be furnished at the time of verification in various banks. Here is the Documents Checklist that most banks will ask you to submit in original & photocopy (Xerox) and will be verified by Bank Officials. The originals shall be returned after verification. These are the general documents required for verification and the formats for the same documents will be released by the banks on their respective websites. You will have to download these formats and then complete them for verification. 

Here is the list of Documents required by the Banks:

1)ID Proof:
