I Want a Job at SBI!

The State Bank of India (SBI) is the biggest Indian bank, of that there has been no doubt. But with the merger of five 'State Bank Of-' with the SBI itself (yes, they were always separate banks), the combined value of this entity (Rs 37 trillion in assets) makes it the 45th largest bank in the world.  



We have already talked about the benefits of a bank job and how to get it. But what are the jobs available in the SBI? Let's have a look. 

Probationary Officer (PO) 

Most banks put out notices about job opportunities through notifications in print; as most of us miss out on these when they originally appear, this means being on constant lookout on the large number of online job forums. Some trusted print mediums like the Hindu and the NDTV have also begun publishing details on the job vacancies available; just keep your eyes open.  

As we mentioned last time, the Probationary Officer posts are the ones with the most number of vacancies; for an illustration, in 2016, SBI held its PO exam for 2200 posts, while the 2017 edition was for 2313 vacancies. This year, the last date of applying for the exams (on the SBI website. Obviously) was March 5; the exam itself was held on April 29, 30 and May 6, 7. 

Special Management Executive 

Among the many career options related to finance, if you are a CA/MBA (Finance)/ Cost Accountant/ Company Secretary/ Post graduate in Finance, this is an opening for you. This year, SBI has 554 vacancies for this post; applications for the same are on till 18 May. 

Specialist Officer (SO) 

Remember what we said about SOs? Their recruitment for all these different posts however takes place at once; applications for the post of 262 wealth manager officer posts closed on April 10 of this year; similarly, May 12 will witness the closing of applications for the posts of business analysts and digital system architects (IT people) and chief accountants (cost accountants).  

Clerk 

Now they are not called that, but this is the SBI Clerical Recruitment; 10726 posts for Junior Associate (Customer Support & Sales; graduates in any discipline) and 3008 posts for Junior Agricultural Associate (graduates in Agriculture/ Allied activities)were available earlier this year, with the last date for the application submission being April 17.  

Not that this means much, but SBI announced, back in 2015, that they were also considering campus recruitments for contract jobs. Bottom line being, the jobs are all at SBI!
