Also, merely attending pre-examination training does not necessarily imply a candidate’s right to be selected in any of the 19 participating Public Sector Banks mentioned.

This system of Common Written Examination for recruitment of probationary officers/management trainees has been approved by the Government of India, has the consent of the Boards of each of the participating banks and the managing committee of the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA).

Successful candidates in the CWE who have been issued scorecards and who meet the stipulated eligibility criteria will then be required to apply to any of the participating banks they wish to, quoting their personal details and their CWE scores.

Each bank will then individually shortlist candidates and carry out their own selection processes such as Group Discussions and/ or Interviews etc. for final selection.

The tentative date of the written examination is June 17, 2012.
