How the combined bank recruitment process works
Combined Senior Officer recruitment commonly proceeds through an MCQ or preliminary test, a written examination and a viva voce. Only candidates who meet the qualifying requirements at one stage are considered for the next stage. The marks distribution, selection rules and schedule can differ between recruitments, so the notice for the relevant job ID and year remains controlling.
