Why Alphonsian COC?

Why a Banking Career?

India and across the globe. The best part is that bank employees are very rarely laid off from employment as part of a downsizing move, as Indian banks continue to grow and prosper at an amazing speed. Bank jobs were earlier considered the domain of only finance and commerce graduates, but now graduates from every stream stand a chance as banks require candidates in various areas.

Indian Economy is growing at a steady pace, and this growth has been passed on to banks in a big way. Banks present huge opportunities to young people, and this is largely due to the fact that they have diversified into various other products than just core banking. The pre-requisites for a bank job in today's environment are good communication skills, management skills, analytical skills and knowledge of computer operations. All these are made excellent use of in the dynamic work atmosphere that modern day banks present.

The Banking Industry is organizing the recruitment in a big way. In the coming years, banks will have to recruit many hundred thousands of candidates. The time taken by a bank to complete the recruitment process has come down with the introduction of the first of its kind "Common Written Examination (CWE)" in 2011. The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) conducts a series of CWEs for selection of personnel for the posts of Clerks / Probationary Officers / Management Trainees in 20 Public Sector Banks and 82 Regional Rural Banks (RRBs)

The first ever CWE for PO/MT was held in September 2011. For Clerks it was held in November 2011, for Specialist Officers it was conducted in March 2011 and for RRBs in September 2012. IBPS conducts series of CWEs in a year for recruitment of PO and Clerks into the Public Sector Banks and Regional Rural Banks to cater to the needs of the industry and also to the needs of job aspirants. This means that aspirants are clear about when they should apply, and can plan their preparation in an organized and effective manner.

Save the State Bank of India, which has decided to plough its own channel, almost all major Public Sector
