As part of this tie-up, selected candidate will be enrolled for 1 year PG diploma (banking & finance) course & on successful completion of training they shall be inducted into Bank of Baroda as probationary officer (scale I).

 

For the current year 2013-14, BMSB is to takein 4 batches (once every 3 months), each consisting of 300 students.  

Selection process

The procedure to gain entry into Baroda manipal school of banking goes through these 3 stages,

  1. Online Test
  2. Group discussion
  3. Personal Interview

BOB says,

the aim is to find people who are bright, have good communication skills (oral & written), are dedicated, can work effectively in teams, are passionate about their career goals and who display integrity and a positive attitude.

 

Though students are to be admitted in batches once every 3 months, they shall be selected in advance through this single exam.The next recruitment exercise will happen only in the year 2014.

 

Baroda Manipal Test Pattern

Unlike regular banking exams involving OMR sheets this is not a written examination but an online test that is scheduled on July 7, 2013.It consists of the following papers.

 

baroda manipal school of banking exam pattern,baroda manipal online exam pattern,baroda manipal  exam syllabus,baroda manipal school of banking 2013

 

Candidates will have to attend around 200 objective questions within 2 hours & 5 descriptive type in 60 minutes.

 

Descriptive Test:

This section is to test your written english skills through Comprehension, Precis, Letter Writing & Essay.See how to prepare for descriptive test & model questions

 

It is only a qualifying test & marks secured in this part wont be added to total scores.

 

Books:

There are no separate books available for baroda manipal exam.Instead you can make use of IBPS PO CWE materials.

* PO Officers Exam Guide – Rs.347 – Buy online (has practice quests, solved papers & descriptive)

With the exam only in July concentrate on practicing as many problems possible.In addition, this guide will also be useful for upcoming IBPS PO 2013 exams.

 

Cutoff & Marks

A total of 200 marks is allotted for the online objective test.For each wrong answer, negative mark is awarded (could be 0.25)

 

Based on your performance in both tests cutoffs shall be fixed for each category.

 

BOB would then call those in the merit list for group discussion & personal interviews in the ratio of 1:4 (approx. 5000 candidates)

 

Exam Difficulty Level:

Although BOB hasn't mentioned anything about the level of questions, the pattern looks similar to that of IBPS PO exams.So expect moderate – difficult questions as there are only limited seats available per batch.

 

We contacted few candidates who appeared for last year`s test.

Though they were not able to recollect the question paper, most agreed that reasoning & quantitative aptitude sections played the tricky part.

Since the period to prepare for baroda manipal`s test is pretty long we suggest registrants to devote extra time for those two papers during preparations.

 

For detailed analysis & review of 2012 test, read How i performed in baroda manipal online test (as told by candidate)

 

Announcement of Results:

The first batch of students are expected to join baroda manipal school of banking`s campus at Bangalore in September this year.

 

So in all probability one can look forward for the test results by July end that`ll pave way for GD & interviews in August 2013.


IBPS Clerk Recruitment Allotments Complete; Cutoffs Released


ibps bank clerk job allotments 2013,ibps clerk allotments 2013,2013 clerk allotments cutoff,ibps clerk waiting lists Bank recruitments for the year 2013 have virtually come to an end with the clerk allotments being announced by IBPS.The common selection procedure for bank jobs in India has truly revolutionized the way in which public sector banks fill their vacancies. With the final results now out, candidates shall look forward to join their dream organization.

 

The common written exam for clerk posts in 19 PSB`s was conducted by Institute of Banking Personnel Selection in December 2012.

 

Once the results were out details about the 39,000 clerk vacancies was also revealed for candidates to register their preferences.

 

Allotments End: Cutoffs Displayed

The qualifiers of IBPS clerical CWE were asked to register their preferences among the participating banks in April.

 

Depending on their total scores, merit & positions available individuals have been assigned to one bank, says the institute via a notification on website.

 

The maximum & minimum scores fixed for allotments are also now available.It means, all those who have secured the specified min.score or above can assume as offered clerk jobs.

 

The minimum final score of cutoff for clerical allotment state-wise & category-wise are given below:

ibps bank clerk allotments cutoff scores,ibps clerk allotments 2013,bank clerk allotments 2013

 

With IBPS completing the allotment process for banks - clerk recruitment 2013 has formally concluded.

 

Intimations Being Sent:

bank allotments in mobile sms Candidates are receiving mobile messages (SMS) from IBPS about their allotment advising them to wait for official communication from the respective banks on joining formalities.

 

Those intimations sent directly by the bank could be mostly through an email.It shall contain information on joining date, reporting time, terms & condition etc.

 

Not received mail? We see a lot of people complaining over non-delivery of emails.There are two possibilities for this issue:

  • Could have landed in your spam or junk folder.So check it
  • The emails may not have been sent yet.Wait for few more days & contact the bank directly to get a status update (get number from their website)

The banks may also publish a list with names of selected candidates for clerical positions similar to what they did after PO allotments.Hence do visit their sites regularly. 

 

Waiting/ Second Lists

Will IBPS release any waiting lists? Is there any possibility for second list? These are some of the questions asked constantly by qualifiers below the min. score.

If a qualified applicant does not accept the offer & chooses not to join his/her allotted organization, that post could be filled with person next in the merit list.

But nobody knows or has access to those lists.Also its not possible for anyone to predict how many have rejected the offer.Therefore one has to wait for atleast 1 or 2 months for all the joining formalities to be completed.

 

If they do choose some for unfilled vacancies, it would be notified directly to candidates or on the bank`s website.

    IBPS Specialist Officer CWE 2013 Results & Interviews Announced


    IBPS Specialist Officer exam 2013 results,IBPS SO common exam results 2013,IBPS specialist officers common written exam result scores There was a time when banks would take nearly six months and longer to complete their recruitments.But with advancement in testing technologies, the duration has been shortened.The IBPS Specialist Officer exam 2013 results announced recently is an example of this change.

     

    Bank jobs are normally known to constitute of probationary officer (PO) & clerks but specialist officers also form part of this community.While fresh graduates from any stream are eligible to apply for other positions, candidates with specialized qualifications such as BE/ Btech/ MCA etc are only invited to apply for specialist cadre.

     

    In addition to common written examinations for PO & clerk posts Institute of Banking Personnel Selection conducts similar test for specialist officer aspirants as well.

     

    SO Exam Results – 15000 May Have Passed

    The IBPS Specialist Officer common exam was held in March 2013 for various specialized positions in scale I & II cadre.

    Since the test was computer based (online) result status were made available last week & now scores are also being displayed at their website here [login using your roll no. and password/ birth date]

    The number of qualifiers in each specialty is not known as IBPS has not declared it yet.

     

    While we are trying to get in touch with the officials for a much clearer picture, approx.15000 candidates might have cleared the 2013 SO exam it is expected as the previous exam had 16000 passouts only.

     

    What Next?

    IBPS had introduced common interviews for PO & clerks earlier this year.The same are to be implemented for specialist officers recruitment 2013 as well.

     

    Qualifiers can download their interview call letter from ibps.in website starting May 14 for the common interviewing process scheduled to begin on May 27th.

    Once the interview results are declared in the 3rd week of June - vacancy lists followed by preference registrations will also be published.

    * 8 Top Questions You Can Expect in any Bank Interview 

     

    Less No. of Vacancies

    PO & clerical cadre employees occupy a major chunk of new recruits in any bank compared to specialist officers.The common reasons are:

    • Since most of these selected would be posted only in head/ regional/ zonal offices, PSB`s appoint 1 or 2 in departments which require their expertise.
    • Therefore the number of vacancies advertised by each bank is also very limited as some banks may not even require a specialized person for that dept.

    With RBI pushing public sector banks to reach more villages the need for Agriculture officers has increased.

     

    Looking at some of the hiring activities last year, Agri officers were required in large numbers.The second slot was occupied by IT officers.Those who opted for Marketing/ Technical & HR did not have ample opportunities to apply.

     

    Will the situation change for qualifiers of 2013 specialist officers exam? While we wait to know about it, do share your scores to know where you stand.

    With the SBI PO examination 2013 coming to an ending, the wait for results shall start immediately.Before that its time to analyze your performance & gauge with others as it can help perfect your skills for upcoming IBPS PO exams

     

    In a bid to review SBI PO exams BankExamsIndia.com has compiled candidate responses who describe about the paper & their chances.

     

    Sectional Review - Was that English?

    sbi po exam 2013 analysis,sbi po exam 2013 review,how was sbi po exam 2013,how did candidates perform in sbi po exam 2013 To start with, the written tests were conducted in two slots – morning & noon/evening slot.As discussed earlier the question booklet contained 200 questions from 4 sections.

     

    Most candidates seemed comfortable answering General awareness/computer & Data analysis questions.They called those sections as easy to moderate level

     

    Reasoning is always known to take time & moreover the bank had already specified it as high level.Though the problems were on the tougher side, difficulty level was on expected lines.

     

    English language turned out to be the surprise package for many.It did have questions from regularly asked topics but the standard was higher than normal SBI exams, said most candidates.

    In trying to understand the question properly, they spent precious minutes which led to shortage of time for other sections.

     

    What they said: Our Facebook page had people share their views & opinions.Here are some:

     

    Dinesh says, The SBI PO exam was easy compared to IBPS PO 2. English was little different this time &  they were in such a manner that none can answer.Data interpretation was easy but time consuming.Overall it wasn't an tough paper.

     

    Since there is heavy competition, cut offs could go higher.

     

    Evan also has similar views,
    Reasoning was a bit tough & English was time consuming.I could have attended all questions with half hour extra time.

     

    There were contrasting comments as well with Shikha saying,

    This was not a PO level exam.Too simple…

     

    Nitin summed it up through

    The paper was strategically designed.One cannot say it was easy as time was limited.Honestly a person can attempt 125 to 130 questions.Lets wait for the merit list.

     

    Expected SBI PO 2013 Cutoffs

    sbi po exam 2013 expected cutoffs, sbi po recruitment 2013 cutoffs prediction The written test is preceded by group discussion & personal interviews.It is required for candidates to secure minimum marks also called cutoffs to qualify for these stages.

     

    SBI had advertised to shortlist 3 times the total number of vacancies of 1500 to participate in GD process.It means approx. 5000 candidates only will be required for next stages.(see previous year SBI cutoffs)

     

    In such a scenario there are two possibilities

    1. The min. pass mark in each section could be raised OR
    2. SBI might introduce an additional cutoff on total marks similar to what IBPS follows for its common exams.

    Looking at the unprecedented competition individuals who sat for the test are also of the same view.

    Cutoff would be high as 2013 SBI PO exam was 10 times easier than IBPS PO 2 CWE.

    How To Choose Banks for IBPS Clerk Allotments [Explained]


    bank clerk preference registration,how to register for clerk preference registrations Exams are over and scores have also been released.But the tension still remains for those eyeing clerical cadres jobs in public sector banks.While IBPS is on the verge of completing its common recruitment process for banking jobs, aspirants remain tensed on how to choose their order of preference for clerk recruitment allotment in banks

     

    Over the past few days many were enquiring us on how to know the bank that offers good chance of getting selected.

     

    Frankly speaking there is no definitive guide issued by banks or IBPS to predict chances or follow at the time of recording your preferences.

     

    It all depends on your final combined scores declared by the institute last week.Your choice of organisation is secondary while merit would be looked first (a senior official at ibps said merit will followed by preference)

     

    The probability for a top scorer to be allotted his/her 19th preference (considering previous prefs. as exhausted) is high compared to a low scoring candidate opting for the same bank as 1st choice.

     

    Possible to Predict Chances?

    Having explained the process above, it is natural for you ask ‘What are my chances’. But the real truth is prediction is simply impossible because of the primary reason - IBPS has not published any merit list or score ranges for us to analyze.

     

    There are some more factors that one must understand before asking or advising others on their chances.See below to know what are they:

     

    * Category-wise cutoffs

    * Bank & State cutoffs

    * Selected as PO

    * Reservation quotas

     

    We don’t know whether these cutoffs really exist.Even if they do nobody except the organisers would have access to them.

     

    Then How to Register Preferences?

    how to register clerk preferences,ibps bank clerks allotment procedure,how to submit preference for clerk allotments Does anyone know how many people are actually eligible to submit their order of preference? No.

     

    Though some bank job related websites are running polls and surveys asking for qualifiers to share their scores, it won’t cover all candidates.

    Moreover such results cannot be relied as votes aren’t verified.Those who did not appear for exams can also submit a score of 80.Ten such submissions can make the entire poll results flawed.

    Then how can candidates register their preference for IBPS clerk recruitment in banks?

     

    According to us, there are only two ways for qualifiers to finalize their preferences.

    1. Based on number of vacancies
    2. Based on liking 

    Based on Vacancies:

    In addition to the 38,000 clerk vacancies no. of available positions in each state & category for all 19 banks was given by IBPS last week.

     

    Choose the bank with most no. of vacancies from that list as your first preference & the one with least posts as last preference.

     

    Example: Uttar Pradesh has total of 5402 clerical vacancies.A person from general category has to compete for 2348 posts.

     

    Going by the no. of gen. cat. seats, order preference in this method shall be Allahabad Bank (421), PNB (395), Bank of Baroda (310), Union Bank of India (228) & so on.The last options would be United Bank (8) & Vijaya bank (0)

     

    Based on Likes:

    Some of you might have some dream public sector banks to work.It could have been the driving force behind your efforts to appear for common exams.Some would want to join a bank that has sound financials, good growth rate etc.

     

    You can complete the registration by taking into account factors as mentioned above (checkout most popular public sector banks in india). 

     

    Finally, whichever bank you choose - clerk appointments shall happen within your state initially & would be asked to join in a local branch only.So your preferences need not be based on posting location.

     

    Do you have a better idea or strategy for choosing the preferences? Voice it through the comment form below for others to also decide.
