IBPS Clerk CWE(Common Written Examination) -IX notification has yet to come. The official IBPS calendar shows August- September, and October as the dates for preliminary and main examination respectively. The Clerical job or the Junior Associate(JA)is comparatively much more relaxing than the officer cadres. They don’t have any working pressure regarding the recovery, loan disbursement, or else any other bank-related works. A Clerk in a Public Sector Bank can withdraw a salary of Rs.18,000/ to Rs.21,000/ during their training period. After the training period, other perks and emoluments are added and the Gross Salary will have a raise. These perks make the IBPS Clerk examinations more competitive than any other bank exams. So we are giving you a tailored study plan minding all the important topics for the examinations. The IBPS Clerk Study Plan 30 Days will help you to cover the examination syllabus within a short span of time.
