HEY THERE!!!

If you are an undergraduate (having completed 12th or are going to appear for 12th) and would like to sit for bank exams, then the following are some things that you should know:

Banking Exams After 12th (Undergraduate Level)

1. Direct Bank Exams After 12th

• The majority of the top-level public sector bank exams (such as IBPS PO, IBPS Clerk, SBI PO, SBI Clerk, RBI Assistant, etc.) necessitate a graduation level qualification in any stream.
• There are hardly any national-level bank exams available for candidates with only 12th qualification. The majority of undergraduate students are not eligible for the major banking recruitment exams until they graduate.

2. Banking Exams You Can Prepare For (After Graduation)

• IBPS Clerk, IBPS PO, IBPS SO, SBI Clerk, SBI PO, RBI Assistant, RBI Grade B, IBPS RRB PO/Clerk are the most popular and frequent bank job exams in India.
• Eligibility: Graduation in any subject from a recognized university.

3. Private Bank & Other Opportunities

• Private banks might have individual recruitment drives for clerical or sales positions taking 12th pass candidates, but these do not happen commonly and are more often not officer/managerial positions.
• Undergraduate programs of Bank Apprentice Programs (such as SBI Apprentice) sometimes accept undergraduates but mostly still recruit graduates.

4. Preparation During Graduation

Begin preparing for bank exams during college time. This will provide you with a solid base in Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning, English, and General Awareness-the major subjects of all bank exams.

Syllabus comprises:

• Reasoning Ability
• Quantitative Aptitude
• English Language
• General/Banking Awareness
• Computer Knowledge (for a few exams).

Summary

• You cannot sit for most government bank examinations right after 12th.
• Graduation is required for nearly all major bank recruitment examinations.
• Utilize your undergraduate years to study for these exams so you can apply the moment you graduate.
• For sporadic private bank or apprentice positions available to 12th pass, look for individual bank websites for advertisements.

In short:

Officer and clerk positions in government sector banks call for banking exams with a graduation requirement. Prepare now, and apply after you obtain your degree.

If you're an undergraduate and planning to enter the banking sector, it's a good idea to begin your preparation early. While most major banking exams like IBPS Clerk, SBI Clerk, RBI Assistant, and LIC Assistant require a graduation degree as the minimum eligibility, starting your preparation while pursuing your degree gives you a head start.

These exams are highly competitive and test your skills in subjects like quantitative aptitude, reasoning ability, English language, general awareness, and computer knowledge. Preparing for these sections early improves your speed and accuracy, which is very important during the exam.

Some private banks offer entry-level roles to undergraduates like customer service executives, sales associates, or teller posts, but the growth in such jobs might be limited compared to government or public sector banks. Still, they can provide some work experience if you're looking to step into the banking field early.

You can also explore exams like IBPS RRB Office Assistant or cooperative bank recruitments, as they sometimes have varying criteria. Additionally, many banks release recruitment notifications every year, and most of them follow a common pattern prelims, mains, and interview for officer-level posts. So, it's good to follow previous year papers and standard books early on.

Hello

For cracking any banking exam like SPI PO/ IBPS PO/ NABARD Grade A etc, first you need to make a proper routine and follow it with full discipline
(discipline > motivation).

You are recommended to join any coaching as it will help tremendously in your preparation. But it is not compulsory and you can also do self study if you want to.

I would suggest seeing some videos available on Youtube about the toppers who cracked your dream exam so you can get an idea of what to do and what not do.

And last but not the least, practice practice practice.

Hope this answer helps! Thank You!!!
