Q. Which Banks am  I eligible to apply from ?

you had as a subject in your class Xth board exams, so your options are limited in this case. 
For e.g. you had Marathi as a subject and not Hindi, then you can only apply from Maharashtra.

However this condition does not apply for the posts of Officer Scale 2 and Scale 3 posts as per the notification

1.* Data is collected from various source, while we have made every effort to collate 
correct information, no guarantee is made of its accuracy

2. This is an indicative table only, banks can vary their requirements in future years,
 the data pertains to 2012-13 and is not a definitive indicator for 2013-14.


Of course, these vacancies are previous years’ vacancies, they may vary this year
 in accordance with banks requirements,

Q. Shall I opt for “Hindi” or “English” in the examination, I am conversant with both.

Ans. Ideally you should opt for the language with which you are comfortable with, 
However, if you are opting for Hindi you should be well aware that  not much 
information is available in terms of Books, Study Material, previous papers etc. 
so there is very little you can prepare from. Also be aware that “Hindi”, in terms 
of the examination implies “Academic Hindi”, so you should be aware of all 
the grammar rules, synonyms and antonyms in Hindi, just like in English.  
Mere oral knowledge of Hindi is not enough

So if you are not aware of these Hindi nuances you could have a tough time in the 
examination. On the other hand English is well researched by books, authors and
 coaching institutes and the pattern of the questions and the difficulty level is well
 understood, in the form of test series, previous papers etc. 

So we will suggest English, however the ultimate decision is left to you.

Q. I am preparing for IBPS PO and IBPS Clerk, should I apply for this examination ?

Ans. Yes of course, you should be aware that most of these RRB’s are sponsored by major 
banks such as Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Canara Bank etc., so it is like any other 
public sector bank job, the only point to note here is that your posting will be in rural areas.
 For candidates from smaller cities and villages it is an ideal opportunity to
 get a public sector bank job close to their respective hometown.

In any case, even if you are not interested in joining a RRB, there is no harm in giving the 
examination, it will be valuable practice for IBPS PO and Clerk examinations coming 
up later in the year. The syllabus is practically the same and the examination is also 
online, so no harm in trying, it will cost you Rs 600/- at the most.


Q. I am from a Metro City/ Big City , should I apply for this examination given that
the posting will be in rural areas ?

Ans. If you are not interested in RRB’s , we will still recommend that you apply for this 
, since IBPS is conducting this examination, the questions will be of similar difficulty 
and pattern as that of IBPS PO/Clerk and Specialist Officer, so you can treat this as 
valuable practice and test yourself in real examination conditions.

In any case there is no harm applying, it will only set you back by Rs 600/- at the most, 
you can always treat this as a back up option, in case you do not succeed in the other
 examinations. The world of today is a world of competition, you must avail and
 grab each and every opportunity which you get.


 I HAVE GOT 136 IN SCALE-1 & 138 IN ASISTANT 4M HARYANA
PLZ.. Share Your Score So That candidates Able to 
know their Relative Status.Thnx .........
