Getting jobs in private and public sectors bank have received hype in
the past few years. This has created a cut throat competition among the
students to pass the exam and to get through the interview. The hype is
said to exist for few more years. Every year thousands of students sit
for the exams but there are only few who clear the exam.
The government of India is trying its best to solve this issue by
opening new branches and continuously making new openings in the
banking sector for various posts. It is believed that a large number of
people will retire too in coming few years, paving the way for the new
entrants. Almost all the public sector bank employees are being
selected through a common entrance test.
In order to minimize the competition and to recruit candidates with
rights skill and qualification, there are number of eligibility
criteria that an applicant should have. One of the prime eligibility
criteria for most of the banking jobs is that the applicants should be
a graduate. Being a graduate is important for this profile because
banking jobs is related to money transactions. Even a slight mistake
from the employees can cause a lot of issues. Therefore, only a
graduate who have a proper understanding of their subject and one with
a mature mind can apply for this job. Not only that bank requires a
graduate, but also they specify a cut off percentage that a candidate
should have achieved during their academic background. The percentage
would ensure that the candidate performed well in the exams and
therefore he/she can take up the challenges of the banking jobs too.
Along with the graduation, a candidate should have proficiency in
computers too. A banking job involves keeping the records of
transactions on computers; therefore if a candidate has certificates in
computers along with a good academic background they will have better
chances of cracking the interview.
Why Graduation is important to get banking jobs?
If we look at the banking jobs advertisements that come in newspaper
every now and then, we will notice that there are jobs for 12th pass
students too. But these jobs are not for senior level posts. Also, most
of the times these advertisements ask for some other qualification
along with 12th pass like some specific course in computer etc in order
to be eligible for the job. For graduates and for management students
there are various good openings that keep on coming like probationary
officers. Even if a person joins banking job at a junior level there
are lot of scope for him/her to reach at senior level jobs by giving
more exams and with experience and good performance. There is a
different pay scale for different level of banking jobs.
Once you get the job, keep in mind that the key to success in banking
sector is by making your clients happy. Money and success are
important, but first you need to prove yourself by working hard and
smartly to be considered for promotion.
