Recruitment is conducted through different organisations, including the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS), State Bank of India (SBI) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Each organisation publishes its own recruitment notifications, eligibility conditions and selection procedures.

Before beginning preparation, identify the post you want to pursue and review the relevant official notification. This helps you focus on the correct syllabus, exam stages and application requirements.
