Banking
sector in India offers promising and high paying jobs in the streams named as
specialist officers, probationary officers and clerks. Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) is an autonomous agency
in India. IBPS is
envisioned as self-governed academic and research oriented Institute, with a
mission of enhancing human-resource development through personnel assessment.
IBPS launched the common
written exam (CWE) in 2011 for selection of clerks and officers in 27
nationalized banks and regional rural banks across India. It also offers human
resource services to LIC, insurance companies, NABARD, IDBI, public sector
undertakings and government departments. Today it enjoys a premier position as
one of the finest personnel selection test conducting agency in India. Successful candidates are offered placements
in banks. Interviews were part of the selection process but as on 2016 this
part has been dispensed with for selection of clerks.

strength is its research based capability to design multiple choice objective
tests and tools for testing of candidates appearing for the post of clerks,
probationary officers and SO (Specialist Officers) in banks across India.
The IBPS clerk exam is universally adapted by nationalized banks across
India to induct fresh graduates into various clerical posts. This exam
comprises five sections covering Reasoning, English, Numerical Ability, General
Awareness and Computer knowledge. Applicants first appear for a preliminary
exam covering English, Numerical Ability and Reasoning. Only those candidates
satisfying the cut off point for each section are eligible to appear for the final
CWE.
IBPS also conducts exams for recruitment to the post of probationary

conducted for recruiting clerks but with higher difficulty level for PO posts.
