IBPS 2019 RESULTS POSTPONED

Preferred Banks Under IBPS Exams

While filling the applications most of the candidates will have uncertainty on bank preference. For all three IBPS examinations, there are around 18 options, and to filter the best one among them is a difficult task. While the Regional Rural Banks examination makes thing much easier since the need for local language is essential. Since you have to abide that one condition, the selection became much easier compared to the other two examinations. But for the Probationary Officer, and Specialist Officer recruitments the banks list often makes confusion among the candidates. The preferred bank of each one of us would be distinct. We hope that the below-given points will be helpful for you to shortlist.

Preferred Banks

Before filling the preferred banks’ list in the application form, candidates should consider certain facts. Since the official position is transferable and could be posted anywhere in India. So there is no such guarantee to get the posting in our own state or neighborhood. But, if the bank branches density is higher in our region the chances of allotment would be higher. If you are not bothered by the location, then you should focus on the bank’s performance for the last few financial years. Balance sheets may help you to pick the best based on the performances. Let’s check the top performers in the Indian banking sector.

Name Of the Bank	Number of Branches	Headquarter
Punjab National Bank (With Merger of Oriental Bank of Commerce and United Bank of India)	11437	New Delhi
Bank of Baroda	13153	Vadodara
Canara Bank (With Merger of Syndicate Bank)	8801	Bengaluru
Union Bank (With Merger of Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank)	6798	Mumbai
Bank of India	5825	Mumbai
Indian Bank (With Merger of Allahabad Bank)	3956	Chennai
Central Bank of India	2876	Mumbai
Indian Overseas Bank	2995	Chennai
UCO Bank	2377	Kolkata
Bank of Maharashtra	1860	Pune
