IBPS/CWE Clerk Examination

Event: IBPS/CWE Clerk Examination
Dates: From: 11/17/2011 To: 11/17/2011
Details: Around nineteen Indian public sector banks have decided to conduct a common entrance test to select suitable candidates for filling existing/future vaccines in their firms. The exam will be conducted under a platform designed by IBPS, and the scores will have validity for one year from the date of result. The first IBPS exam is scheduled on September 18 2011 and applications will be accepted until August 3.
The IBPS exam is planned as a qualifying test to pre-select probationary officers and management trainees in different banking cadres. Rather than conducting separate exams bank can now track down a pool of talent and fine tune it again based on their benchmarks. IBPS scores (CWE score) will be mandatory for all upcoming recruitment in the participating banks. Final merit of the banking aspirants will be decided to the basis of CWE score, educational qualification, age, and preference in interview and group decisions. Each bank will decide the minimum score required for their intakes.

State Bank group (SBI, SBT, SBM, SBH, SBP), HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Federal Bank, South Indian Bank, Axis Bank, Yes Bank, IDBI Bank, Kotak Mahindra and some other private sector banks are not a part of this common bank entrance test. However, we can expect the State Banks to join the league any time soon. As we pointed out before the CWE scores will have a validity for one year. That means the coming exam on September is valid throughout 2011- 2012 and candidates can apply for all vacancies in this period.
