Dear
PaGaLGuY readers,
The IBPS PO IV and Clerk IV final results have been declared. Many of you have been selected as PO or Clerk in Public Sector Banks. It is expected
that you will have some queries regarding the joining procedure and the training process for banks. In this article, we’ll try to briefly answer some of these queries.
1. What is Provisional Allotment?
The IBPS shortlists and allots one of the Participating Banks to candidates who have qualified in both CWE Interview and have cleared the final
cut off. This allotment is based on candidates’ merit & preferences. The IBPS will send a selection +
confirmation email to all candidates about their allotted bank. The role of
the IBPS in the PO IV & the Clerk IV process finishes at this point and the individual banks
take over.
2. What
comes next after provisional allotment?
Individual banks will send an intimation mail with the details of formalities to all
their allotted candidates. These intimations will be sent to the candidates’
registered email ids (also, physical copies will be sent to their registered
correspondence address). The intimation letter will describe their appointment or
joining details, including the dates on which the candidates have to report to the
bank for training and also the documents & certificates that the
candidates need to carry for verification. If the candidate has to undergo
any medical tests or similar exams, the letter will detail the same as well.
3. When
do banks call candidates for training or joining processes?
It is entirely dependent on individual banks as to when they call selected
candidates for training or joining. The minimum gap between sending the
intimation mail and the result declaration date is usually 10 days. However, banks may also
delay sending the intimation by as much as two, three or six months after
results are declared. In such cases, candidates are advised to keep checking
their emails regularly and follow online forums like PaGaLGuY.com for news
regarding the allotment.
4. How
is training conducted?
Training is usually carried out by banks for all candidates. These
programs are normally 10-15 days long. They are conducted at the banks’
own training centres, zonal offices, or head offices. Banks may provide hostels or stay
facilities during this period. Classes are held for 5-6 hours daily wherein candidates are trained in the bank’s processes and normal banking procedures.
It is only after training is complete that a candidate can actually start working in the bank.
For PO: If you are selected as a Probationary Officer (PO), your training will be conducted by the allotted bank in their respective training centre.
For Clerk: If you are selected as a Clerk, your training will be conducted in the same state by the allotted bank in its training centre or in a regional zonal office.
5. What next, after Training?
For PO: After successfully completing their training,
candidates are absorbed in the bank as Probationary Officers (JMG Scale-I) and posted in branches of the bank across
India.
For Clerk: After successfully completing training, candidates are absorbed in the bank as Clerk and posted in branches of
the bank across any district of the same state.
Congratulations
and Best Wishes to all successful candidates!
