Hello.


generally a bank manager post is not an entry post. One has to enter at a lower level post and after gaining on the job experience and in-house training and putting in some minimum years of service at various lower levels the bank entrusts the managerial responsibility to a suitable person after evaluating the relevant parameters by test and /or interview.
At present there are generally two ways of becoming a Bank Manager:
1. Entering bank as an Assistant or clerical cadre employee and then progressing with internal promotions.

2. Entering as a direct recruit bank officer or Probationary Officer (PO) or Management Trainees(MT)and then progressing to become manager after some years of service, or progressing to various scales of officer post and progressing towards various Managerial scales.
We shall discuss on the PO recruitment and internal promotion route as to become manager; one has to first become a bank officer. Minimum eligible academic qualifications to get recruited as bank officer

Graduation is the present basic academic qualification for applying for a Bank Probationary Officer. Some banks recruiting directly ask for MBA in Banking and Finance also.

The IBPS PO/MT tests are on the following:
Quantitative Aptitude
English Comprehension
Reasoning
General Awareness with focus on Banking
Computer Basics

Recruitment of Bank Probationary Officers

After undergoing various changes in recruiting procedures, at present there are two main streams for Probationary Officers recruitment.

1. Recruitment by selection from IBPS examination conducted by Institute of Bank Personnel Selection. 
(a)Common IBPS exam is conducted for many participating banks.
(b) IBPS conducts PO examination for a particular bank as per requirement of that bank.
Most of the public sector banks follow either (a), and State Bank of India recruits by (b).

Hello,



To become a manager in bank you will need to first enter banking industry.If you will enter in private bank then it will take a lot of time to to reach a manager post and you will work extremely hard and will also need more degrees.
Second option is to crack government exam for banks liks ibps po/sbi po/rrb po/sbi po etc.
After working as a PO for 4,5 years you will be able to become a manger in a bank.

I hope this helps.
