Bank recruitment in India runs on a fairly fixed yearly rhythm. If you know the rhythm, you can prepare for clerk and officer exams without missing a cycle.
The usual sequence
- Probationary officer and clerk notices from the common recruitment body
- Regional rural bank officer and office assistant notices
- Specialist officer notices for IT, law, HR and agriculture roles
- Separate drives by individual public sector and cooperative banks
What stays the same
Most bank exams use a preliminary and a main exam, followed by an interview for officer posts. Reasoning, quantitative aptitude and English carry most of the weight. General and banking awareness matters in the mains.
How to stay on top of it
Keep one list of the bank exams you qualify for, with last year's dates as estimates. Replace each estimate as the real notice appears among the latest Sarkari Naukri notifications on Govtpvt .
