Golden chance awaits for those 1.12 lakh applicats who passed IBPS exam for Probationary Officers, which was conducted for 19 public sector banks.
It is expected that almost all banks will invite applications for PO, within a few weeks. As per the reports, around 20,000 vacancies are existing now. IBPS says that within next 6 months, all these vacancies will be filled.
"20,000 is only the primary figure. Number of Vacancies can be more than this," IBPS Director, M.Balachandran said to media. "Though, the PO exam was conducted for 19 public sector banks, more banks have shown willingness to recruit candidates from this list," he added. Considering this, the number of vacancies can be high as 50,000.
