Stage 1 — Shortlisting
Applications are screened against the eligibility criteria (age, graduation, and 2 years of Bank/NBFC experience) based purely on the information entered in the online form. Shortlisting is provisional and done without verifying original documents. Meeting the eligibility criteria alone does not give any candidate a right to be called for the process — the Bank decides how many applicants are called based on the volume of applications received.
Stage 2 — Group Discussion (GD)
An elimination round. Only candidates who clear the Group Discussion are advanced to the Personal Interview stage. Marks, duration and topics are not specified in the notification.
Stage 3 — Personal Interview (PI)
Conducted for candidates shortlisted from the Group Discussion. Candidates must appear for the recruitment process at their own cost. Marks and duration are not specified in the notification.
Stage 4 — Psychometric Assessment
Part of the selection process as stated in the notification. The exact stage weightage is not specified.
Stage 5 — Pre-Appointment Checks
Final appointment is subject to medical fitness, satisfactory background verification, credit history check (including CIBIL), police clearance, and document verification against originals when the candidate reports for interview / training / joining.
Note: In all matters of eligibility and selection, the Bank’s decision is final and no further correspondence will be entertained. The Bank also reserves the right to modify the selection process.
