Age Limit & Relaxations for Bank Jobs in India

To apply for any bank exams in India & to make it upto the written exam, the first eligibility condition posed is - Age Limit. All public & private sector banks have certain policies & based on those criteria set for selection processes, applicants are filtered at the initial stages.We receive many questions about this age factor & for the benefit of those, here are some quick points.

 

Age Limits: All public sector banks follow the same set of rules for entry level posts (like clerk & PO). For the recruitment of specialist officers, each bank will have their own preference.

 

For the post of Clerk  18 - 28 yrs &

For Officers/PO posts  21 - 30 yrs would be the general condition.

 

Apart from this, there are relaxations for candidates of certain categories -

Category	Upper age limit increased by
SC/ ST Candidates	5 years
OBC	3 years
Physically Challenged Candidates	10 years
Ex- Servicemen	5 years
Widows, Divorced women etc.,	9 years

 

* The data was compiled based on previous bank recruitments & subject to change.The final decision to include the relaxations, rests with the banking exam co-coordinator or those whose frame the criteria for bank exams.

 

Private Sector Banks: Although there are age limit to apply for private bank jobs, the above categorized relaxations are not applicable for their recruitments, as private banks may conduct separate tests or direct interviews to select candidates. 

It is necessary for applicants to understand that relaxations in age stop at the preliminary stages.It is upto the candidate`s knowledge on competing with others & performing well in the written test, interview & reach the final selection, wherein marks will have a major impact.

Prepare for Descriptive Test |Test of English

Test of English is an important section in the Written test of Bank exams. While writing in English one should always be aware of the few important points such as Knowing where the capital letters are used & the ability to use grammar with no mistakes.Also using commas properly while joining two sentences and full stops after the completion of every single sentence makes it look professional.

 

The following tips will be useful for writing descriptive (long) answers in English,as some exams has this section also.(Bank of India has a descriptive paper for 100 marks,which must be cleared to become eligible for next level)

 

* The capital letters are only used while the start of every new sentence and it is also used in the first letter of the name of a person. For example the name smith should be written as “Smith” and not “smith”. When a word is written on all capital letters it is collectively called as Block letters/Capital letters. For ex: “LEADER”

 

* The other important thing that one should keep in mind is Grammatical errors.Anyone who wants to write English should ensure that there are no grammatical errors. An essay or any article that has been written with no grammatical mistakes stands for its class and quality. So grammar should be used appropriately while writing in English.

 

* The usage of Commas,Conjunctions while joining two sentences should always be right and one should ensure that the conjunctions used does not change the meaning of the sentence. The common words used as conjunctions are - ‘and’ ‘but’  ‘or’.

For example: “Mark is good at studies and also at athletics”

Here the word ‘and’ is used as conjunction yet it doesn’t change the meaning of the sentence.

 

Start to prepare for better English Knowledge Skills early as it plays a vital role in Bank exams as well as Competitive Exams.
