Banking As a Profession


For Young graduate, an attractive offer after college is banking profession. It remains in this most wanted job position for years and it is because it enjoys much respect and prestige in the society. After the extinction of BSRB the only window to enter into this well sought career is Probationary Officers (PO) Exams conducted by individual banks. Banks inducts eligible graduates by this exam for training for a probational period of two years. The selected candidates performance during the probation period will decide their position after training. Different Banks recruit probationary officers during different periods in the year. Students has to keep on watch about the notifications and should be alert on applying promptly.

Career as a Probationary Officer


Pursuing Career as a probationary officer is a unique experience in itself. But it is the most common and highly sought after question that "what a Probationary Officer really do?".After the selection and till the date of joining the same question was making my mind puzzle. Hence I would like to share some of my experience with all of you looking after banks as a career option. I would be sharing my day to day experience within the bank so stay with us ...

Wednesday

My day to day experience with SBI

It was a great day when my friend called me saying my roll no appearing in the final selected candidates list.
After a month or so I got a provisional letter asking me to report State Bank of Patiala HO, Patiala for fulfilling pre-appointment formalities like medical, domicile etc. And the next day I got confirmation for my first branch of State Bank of Patiala (Associate bank of SBI) in Hisar which is my home city itself.

I got my Formal Appointment letter in which it was written that the first year of my job will be for training comprising institutional training and on the job training. My institutional training was postponed for a while as bank was requiring officers immediately.

  12. dear sir,

    this is badrinarayan

    i need help..

    last year i was recruited for one of the psb's as PO .. but unfortunately due to bruised spinal cord, i was in bed for 6 months and i dint join the bank..


    later after recovering, i cleared written exams of 3 psbs PO exam but i was not selected in interview, despite performing well.(i am pretty sure that i did perform well in interview).

    But recently heard from one bank staff that once i reject a job offer from central government employment, i will be black listed and will not be selected further in any of the government job(this is a hidden process), i dont know this is true or not, .. but circumstances and situations make me believe so...


    i am very much confused..


    is there anyone with answers to bring me out of this lock?

  16. Actually ICICI PO program is an entirely separate program from all other PO setups.
    All the related information for the same has been provided at their own website in detail. Otherwise, it depends on your interest as you are changing your work line horizontally by changing the jobs.

  17. Dear,
    Actually the program of ICICI is totally different from the PO exam setup of other Banks. They have their own exam and procedure. All the related information of pay in hand and others are given on their official website only.
    Otherwise, you are moving from an entire different world to the Banking sector. Its at your own interest and will.

  21. Government banks will never be able to attract good brains and fresh talent which are always absorbed by private companies and MNC's. A talented person who knows that he has a value and experience in the market will never join a PSB on a salary of 20-25k. Bank association really needs to think on this issue if they want good brains in their banks and maintain talented staff for future. A person who has spent 8-10 lakhs on his masters or mba will think 100 times before opting for PSB's.

      As far as my knowledge, ICICI bank conducts a training programme called "Probationary Officer Training Programme". That is designed to develop specialists with banking knowledge. They have there own terms and conditions with the training programme. Its totally different procedure what you will see for other PSBs.

    please tell me about the qualification in banking line required. Is it compulsory that your subjects for banking line should be commerce only.

  101. Dear Sarita,
    Not necessary, you can have graduation in any field for PO exam. But in commerce, you will have an edge over other in routine banking. But there are people with diversified backgrounds in Banking and are successful. You refer one previous paper and start accordingly. It will consist 4 - 5 topic. You can see your capabilities in each and prepare.
