I graduated from recognized university but i had 6 subjects in class 12 th but i passed based on 5 subjects and 6th subject which i failed became my optional subject and shows NA grade in my marksheet but i am overall passed and got passed certificate fromWBCHSE. I want to give govt bank exams. Will the bank reject me in document verification because of 12 th grade failed optional subject despite passing overall and graduating?

Hello Dear,

Yes, if WBCHSE has officially declared you as having passed and you subsequently completed graduation from a recognised university, an NA optional subject in Class 12 would generally not make you ineligible for major government bank exams such as IBPS PO/Clerk or SBI PO.

• Bank PO recruitments generally require graduation from a recognised university, not that every Class 12 subject must be passed.
• During document verification, your graduation degree or provisional certificate is the key educational qualification document.
• Your WBCHSE certificate showing Passed supports that you completed Class 12.
• The NA optional subject should not normally be treated as a failed Class 12 qualification if the board itself has awarded you a valid Pass certificate.

An important note is that Always check the exact notification for the particular bank exam, because individual recruitments can have specific conditions. IBPS also states that candidature remains subject to document verification.

So, based on the situation you described, you should not be rejected merely because of that NA optional subject.

Best wishes for your bank recruitment! We hope you land your dream position at the bank!
