Click here to REGISTER YOUR PREFERENCES.

Please Note:

  • Candidates successful in both CWE-Clerk II and Common interview will be listed in the order of merit.
  • Depending on the vacancies in each bank of his/her preference, a successful candidate will receive through a computerised system an offer from ONE of the participating PSB’s.
  • Vacancies remaining unfilled on account of candidates declining offer, will be filled from among the remaining candidates through the same procedure as mentioned above. 
  • Candidates must produce the necessary documents in support of their identity and eligibility pertaining to nationality, age, educational qualification, qualifying marks, category etc.

Post your preference list in the comments section.

Our team has prepared certain points which will help you in choosing your preferences:

1. How many Banks can one prefer in the Order of Preference ?

One can register order of your preference for all the 19 Participating Banks.

2. Can I give posting location preference?

There is no such thing in this selection process. Some websites misguiding the candidates by saying that you will have to give posting location preference also. This is absolutely wrong.

3. Which banks to choose among the participating Banks?

This is very common question among the passed candidates. While giving preferences, one has to think about salary & allowances and also about posting location.

  • Salary: Salary and allowances are more or less same for all participating banks. So, no need to worry about that.
  • Posting Location: It is best to choose banks which have more number of branches in your state. For example, In Andhra Pradesh, Andhra Bank have more number branches compare to others. It is the lead bank in many areas. So that your chances of posting in your state will be high. Similarly, State Bank of Travancore has more branches in Kerala than any other state. Keep this in mind so that you will be allotted the Bank of your region.

4. What is the allotment procedure with respect to preferences?

Allotment is based on three things- a) Vacancies, b) One’s preferences, & c) eligibility criteria set by the specific bank. Also, keep one thing in mind that in this process the seat allotment is completely based on the Merit Basis.

For Example: 

  • If 1st ranker opted for PNB and he has all the eligibility norms stipulated by PNB, then he will get PNB. If there are no vacancies in PNB or if he is not fit for eligibility criteria of PNB (Like age and Graduation %), his next preference will be considered for selection.
  • In case of reserved candidates: If OBC candidate got marks above the General cutoff marks and his 1st preference is also satisfied in general vacancies, he will get allotment from General vacancy. If in his preferred bank, general vacancies are finished, he will be selected from OBC vacancies of respective bank (if there are any). If the OBC vacancies are also finished, then his next preference will be considered.

If you are still confused about the allotment process then leave all on IBPS. No need to worry more about the bank allotment process, the candidates will be made aware the allotment order list and procedure in detail after the final allotment list of banks have been published. There has been more transparency and the IBPS is striving hard continuously to implement a better recruiting system and let’s leave the rest to them.

5. What is the next step after allotment?

After allotment is done, final joining will be decided by the banks individually. They will call candidates to join bank whenever they want to absorb the candidates. It may take 2 to 6 months & will vary from bank to bank.

In Short, Choose the bank with most no. of vacancies from that list as your first preference & the one with least posts as last preference.

Is IBPS Moving Towards Counseling Structure?

IBPS conducted the first common IBPS Clerk exam in 2011 and declared its result in 2012. However, the way IBPS and the banks conducted the recruitment process during 2012 hasn’t satisfied the candidates as well as the process failed to fulfill the required number of seats leading to frustration among the candidates and multiple waiting lists by banks.

The top three issues which kept on haunting the entire process of IBPS Clerk-1 during 2012 were -


1. Absence of Common Interview – Candidates need to apply to each and every bank separately for interviews which negated the sole reason for which IBPS started the common exam in the first place. This process was not only costly but also kind of unfair as majority of the applicants never got the interview calls from banks. Taking the average cost of application as Rs.100, this required candidates to spent almost Rs.2000 to apply in all banks.

2. Multiple Selections – While there were 5.31 Lakh successful candidates with valid score cards after IBPS Clerk-1, actual benefit of the common exam were reaped by only the few – the top scoring candidates of the common written exam. While we can’t blame the toppers for this – but the process has led to multiple selections of these top rankers both in terms of interview calls as well as final selection. Majority of well educated and even good score holders kept on waiting for even a single interview call as well as the final selection.

3. Relaxed Eligibility – While Clerk CWE in 2011 allowed even 10th passed candidate to apply and clear the written examination, no banks were interested in these candidates (who are only 10th pass) as the banks have a large pool of better educated people to pick on. This has led to unnecessary wastage of resources as well as led to frustration among such candidates who kept on wasting money on interview calls with no positive results.

IBPS has taken several steps to resolve the above issues in IBPS Clerk-2.
Some of the steps taken by IBPS are –

1. Common Interview – IBPS will conduct common interview for all the qualified candidates of written examination. Thus, all passed candidates will get to appear in the exam [Not sure if there will be any additional fees for this single interview but candidates now need not to apply to each bank and pay interview fees]. This will, to an extent, reduce the amount of money spent by each applicant. This will truly turn IBPS recruitment process into common recruitment process.

2. One Candidate – One Job – To resolve the issue of multiple selection, IBPS is going to provide the merit list of candidates based on the total scores [of both written exam and interviews]. The candidates will then provide their preferences of the banks to IBPS and IBPS based on the merit, candidate’s preference, banks’ requirements will allot only one offer to the candidate through computerized system leading to a counseling like structure followed generally during various entrance examinations like Engineering, Medical etc.

However, there are still some challenges for IBPS and the banks in this process as well, such as –

  • Would all the banks be able to declare all the requirements before the allotment through computerized system?
  • What will happen if a bank wants to hire in the middle of the year? Do they have to wait for the entire year?
  • On what basis, would candidates make the preference list? Would each bank declare the remuneration, benefits, joining date, probation period, etc. before the allotment?

Such questions need to be resolved by IBPS and banks together.

3. Eligibility criteria has been raised to graduation for clerks – Govt. has raised the eligibility criteria for bank clerks to graduation which has automatically reduced the number of candidates who appeared for clerk-2 written exam and the qualified list is expected to be way lower than the last year (when 5.31L candidates qualified IBPS Clerk-1).

We at banks-india.com think that IBPS is moving in the right direction, however, many of things are still not clear and execution of these policies will play a major role in the success of the IBPS clerk-2 recruitment process. Also, IBPS is conducting common interviews for bank PO. Let’s see how they will conduct the allotment in case of the PO.
