Banking Exams 2023-24

Embibe Content World

We cannot stress enough that banking exams hold a special place in the realm of Indian competitive exams—and for several compelling reasons. First and foremost, these banking exams offer job security that is highly sought after by many aspirants. Landing a government or public sector bank position often guarantees a stable career until retirement.

Alongside job security, banking roles come with attractive pay packages and many benefits, including medical insurance, pension schemes, and generous leave policies, making them financially rewarding. Furthermore, the structured promotion system in banks, based on experience and performance, paves the way for consistent career growth and advancement opportunities.

Now, several banks in India conduct various banking exams and offer lucrative perks and allowances, such as:

  • State Bank of India (SBI)
  • Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS)
  • Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
  • Canara Bank
  • National Bank For Agriculture And Rural Development (NABARD)
  • Punjab National Bank (PNB)
  • Indian Bank
  • Bank of Maharashtra
  • Bank of India
  • Bank of Baroda
  • Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) Bank
  • United India Insurance Company (UIIC)
  • Life Insurance Corporation (LIC)
  • Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI)
  • Nainital Bank
  • South Indian Bank
  • Andhra Pradesh State Cooperative Bank
  • Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC)

These banks advertise different job roles on their official websites from time to time, such as Probationary Officer (PO), Clerk, Grade Officer, Assistant, and Specialist Officer (SO), to hire deserving candidates for a fixed timespan. Usually, the contract is for 1–2 years; however, based on candidates’ performance, the contract is extended for some roles.

That is not the whole story about banking exams 2023-24. Combined with reasonable working hours that allow for a healthy work-life balance, makes banking jobs appealing. Moreover, the banking sector offers various roles suited to graduates from diverse backgrounds, ensuring accessibility and relevance for a broad spectrum of candidates. Beyond these advantages, the social prestige and respect associated with the banking profession in India further contribute to their desirability. Banking exams open doors to a secure, rewarding, and esteemed career path—something that most aspirants look out for when looking for a job.

Upcoming Banking Exams 2023-24

Several banks in India tend to release recruitment advertisements during a fixed time period. For example, SBI releases notifications for PO in September every year—although nowhere is it written that this is fixed.

We have listed the upcoming banking exams 2023-2024 that candidates might be interested in knowing. Most of these exams feature the selection process of two stages, namely Preliminary (a.k.a. Prelims) and Main (a.k.a. Mains), while some might include an interview, too.

There will hardly be an offline exam because most bank exams include a computer-based test (CBT) as part of the selection process. Therefore, aspiring candidates should gear up for the test by taking the FREE banking exam mock test series on Embibe.

Embibe Content World

While passing the banking exam in India seems fruitful, it is not. In fact, it could be challenging for some people. It can only be challenging due to several factors.

These exams are highly competitive, with many candidates vying for a limited number of positions. The syllabus is extensive, covering various banking, finance, and current affairs topics. The question papers test knowledge, problem-solving skills, and time management.

Therefore, aspirants need a well-planned strategy that ensures that the efforts put into the preparation are not in vain. Here are some banking exam preparation strategies and tips that candidates should put into practice:

Aspirants preparing for banking exams in India can employ some effective yet lesser-known strategies to enhance their chances of success:

  • Focus on Concept Clarity: Instead of rote learning, strive for a deep understanding of core concepts like mathematics, reasoning, and finance. This will help you solve complex problems more effectively.
  • Utilise Mind Maps: Create visual representations of key topics using mind maps. This technique aids in organising information and makes it easier to recall during the exam.
  • Regular Revision: Consistent revision is vital. Review previously studied topics regularly to reinforce your memory and understanding.
  • Mock Tests with Analysis: Take FREE banking exam mock tests on Embibe regularly, and equally important, analyse your performance. Identify weak areas and work on improving them.
  • Time Management Techniques: Learn and practice time management strategies, such as the two-pass approach (first answering easy questions, then tackling tougher ones), to maximise your efficiency during the exam.
  • Shortcuts and Tricks: Familiarise yourself with shortcut techniques and tricks to quickly solve mathematical and reasoning problems. These can save valuable time during the exam.
  • Stay Updated: Keep abreast of current affairs, especially in the banking and financial sectors. This is important for both the written and interview stages.
  • Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. A sound mind in a healthy body is crucial for effective study and concentration.
  • Stress Management: Practice stress-relief techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to stay calm during the exam and reduce exam anxiety.
  • Peer Group: Join or form a study group with like-minded aspirants. Group discussions and peer learning can provide valuable insights and motivation.
  • Professional Guidance: Consider enrolling in coaching programs or seeking guidance from experienced mentors. They can provide expert strategies and insights.
  • Self-testing: Regularly test yourself on topics you’ve covered without referring to notes or textbooks. This helps assess your true understanding. Embibe offers many mock tests, previous year papers, and 3D videos to help understand concepts with clarity.
