Share on FacebookShare on WhatsAppShare on Telegram

Established in 1907 and headquartered in Chennai, Indian Bank is one of the few nationalised banks in India. Every year Indian bank recruits hundreds of graduates to their service in Junior Management Scale as Probationary Officers. The bank uses two sets of recruitments to find the eligible candidates; through IBPS PO recruitment and the one year Post Graduation Diploma in Banking and Finance (PGDBF) course at Indian Bank Manipal School of Banking (IBMSB). For both selections, the exam pattern and the syllabus remains the same, while the second one is less competitive over the IBPS recruitment. Let’s check some of the preparation tips aspirants should keep in mind while preparing for these Indian Bank PO recruitments.

The Indian Bank PO recruitment is hosted by the IBPS along with PO recruitments for other 11 nationalised banks. Other than this the bank do recruits graduates as Probationary Officer through the one year Post Graduation Diploma in Banking and Finance (PGDBF) course at Indian Bank Manipal School of Banking (IBMSB). For this mode of selection too, the bank uses the same exam pattern as the IBPS tests. So no need to prepare separately for these two sets.

If you are worried about how to prepare for the Indian bank PO, then the below-given study timetable, book lists, etc may help you. With hundreds of applicants for a single position, the Indian Bank PO competition will be fierce. To be successful in these recruitment tests, regular and consistent practice is a must.
