IBPS Clerk Recruitment 2012

A good news for all the unemployed Graduates and Undergraduates of India that Public Sector banks in India are on a Hiring spree and this fact is verified by the fact that soon after the declaration of IBPS Clerk Results 2012, Bank of Baroda, one of the largest Public Sector banks in India have announced its Clerical Recruitment Project-2012, inviting application for 2000 vacancies for its branches across the country.As we can say that this is only a start and the trend is likely to continue for the Upcoming 2-3 years

Why there is a need for such a massive Recruitment ?

Public Sector banks in India are facing a huge shortage of employees due to two main reasons:

• Retirement of Employees in 2012-2015
• Expansion of Business (Eg. Opening of New Bank Branches)

Apart from the above mentioned reasons, the banks have been ordered by Ministry of Finance, Government of India to open branches in the under banked areas by September 2012.Reserve Bank of India has identified 296 districts, which are under-banked, spread across 18 states and union territories.The definition of under-banked areas are those in which the population is less than 5000

Role of IBPS

IBPS had introduced the concept of Common Written Exams for Selection of Clerks, Probationary Officers and Specialist Officers.This pattern of Examination is similar to that of AIEEE, MAT, CAT etc.Successful students in the CWE are issued scorecards based on their performance in the IBPS exam.The scorecard is mandatory to apply for Jobs in Public Sector banks

Why there is need for IBPS ?

IBPS had been conducting recruitment exams for individual banks from the past so many years and this process is replaced by Common Written Examination system by IBPS after receiving mandates from the 19 Public Sector banks of India.The major reason for introducing the Common Written Examination system is the lengthy recruitment process of Individual banks.
Now gone are the days when students will have to wait for 6-8 months for the declaration of their results,IBPS had made possible the result declaration with in the span of 2 to 2.5 months.
